  • Publication number: 20240189758
    Abstract: The present invention proposes a gas treatment process in which a process arrangement comprising three process units is used, the gas treatment process comprising subsequently operating a different one of the three process units in a heating mode during a heating phase, the heating mode comprising heating a first gas stream to a first temperature level using a first heat exchanger, introducing the first gas stream at the first temperature level to the process unit which is operated in the heating mode, withdrawing a second gas stream from the process unit which is operated in the heating mode, and thereafter cooling the second gas stream to a second temperature level using a second heat exchanger.

  • Publication number: 20230158442
    Abstract: A process is proposed for separating carbon dioxide from a feed stream containing carbon dioxide, in which at least part of the feed stream is subjected to temperature swing adsorption to obtain a first and a second successive stream, wherein, in each case relative to the feed stream, the first subsequent stream is depleted in carbon dioxide and the second subsequent stream is enriched in carbon dioxide, and at least part of the second subsequent stream is subjected to membrane separation to obtain a third and a fourth subsequent stream, the third subsequent stream being depleted in carbon dioxide and the fourth subsequent stream being enriched in carbon dioxide, in each case relative to the second subsequent stream. A corresponding arrangement is also an object of the invention.

  • Publication number: 20210308615
    Abstract: A method for operating a temperature swing adsorption plant having three adsorption units which are operated in an adsorption phase, a feed phase, a regeneration phase, a flush phase, and a cooling phase, wherein in the adsorption phase a first gas mixture at a first temperature is guided over an adsorbent in the adsorption units with obtention of a second gas mixture and adsorption onto the adsorbent of components of the first gas mixture, in the regeneration phase the adsorption units are heated and the components adsorbed by the adsorbent during the adsorption mode are at least partially desorbed, and in the flush phase the components which were desorbed during the regeneration mode are at least partially flushed using a third gas mixture with obtention of a fourth gas mixture. In the cooling phase, the adsorption units are at least partially cooled to the first temperature.

  • Publication number: 20210053008
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for separating a gas mixture flow, in which use is made of a temperature-change adsorption plant (100) which has a number of adsorption units (A1, A2, A3) which are respectively operated in a first operating mode and a second operating mode, wherein the first operating mode comprises guiding the gas mixture flow (G) at least in part through an adsorption chamber of the respective adsorption unit (A1, A2, A3) and subjecting this flow to an adsorptive exchange of material with at least one adsorbent in its adsorption chamber, and the second operating mode comprises guiding a first heat transfer fluid flow (W1) at a first temperature through a heat-exchange arrangement of the respective adsorption unit (A1, A2, A3) and transferring heat from the first heat transfer fluid flow (W1) indirectly to the at least one adsorbent in its adsorption chamber.

  • Patent number: 6384090
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process and an apparatus for preparing active ingredient dispersions, wherein an active ingredient is dissolved in a fluid gas, the fluid gas loaded with active ingredient is essentially completely dissolved in a liquid and is decompressed, and the gas is separated from the liquid loaded with active ingredient.
