Abstract: The present invention provides for a method utilizing horizontal and vertical Adsorber bed(s) with multiple different reversible blower(s) and inputs operating in a vacuum pressure swing adsorption separation process to separate gases. The process is designed to provide a safer and more cost-effective adsorption system on a larger scale that captures and utilizes energy typically wasted during equipment transitions thereby achieving overall higher power efficiency.

Abstract: The present invention provides for a method utilizing two sets of adsorber beds wherein one operates as a pressure swing adsorption system and the other operates as a vacuum swing adsorption system to separate carbon dioxide from a mixture of gases obtaining a higher purity of carbon dioxide thus separated than any prior art process.

Abstract: A two bed vacuum swing adsorption process for the production of oxygen is disclosed. Efficient use of air blowers and vacuum pumps maximizes the machine utilization and product gas purges in low flow and high flow modes to increase productivity while lessening power consumption.

Abstract: A method of separating a first gaseous component from a gas mixture comprising a first gaseous component and a second gaseous component comprising passing the gaseous mixture into an adsorption zone containing an adsorbent material capable of preferentially adsorbing at least one of the gaseous components in the gaseous mixture, to separate the first gaseous component from the second gaseous component wherein the adsorbent material is a monolithic wheel having a plurality of channels throughout, the channels being aligned parallel to the direction of flow of the gaseous mixture and having a wall thickness of less than 1 mm and recovering the non-preferentially adsorbed gaseous component from the adsorption zone. Preferably, the adsorption zone comprises multiple layers of monolithic structures in the shape of a wheel stacked one upon the other in a direction parallel to the direction of the flow of the gaseous mixture and formed by spirally winding a sheet of corrugated adsorbable material about a hub.
