    Abstract: An apparatus and a process to recover high purity helium from a low helium content feed stream are disclosed. The apparatus includes a first dual reflux pressure swing adsorption (DRPSA) unit and a second DRPSA unit, each unit comprising a high pressure adsorption column and a low pressure adsorption column configured in fluid communication with the high pressure adsorption column. The first DRPSA unit is arranged to receive and separate the feed stream into a first reflux product and a first heavy product and circulate the first reflux product and the first heavy product between the high and low pressure adsorption columns to produce an intermediate helium-enriched stream.
