Title: Abdelghafour Zaabout and a Recirculating Gas Capture Invention.

Introduction

Abdelghafour Zaabout is an inventor associated with Trondheim, Norway, and SINTEF TTO AS. His work includes a patented gas capture system designed to capture and release gases using a circulating solid sorbent.

Latest Patents

Zaabout is associated with 1 patent: “Gas Capture System with Combined Temperature and Pressure Swings Using Moving Adsorbent.” The invention describes a first reactor that captures gas from a stream using a flowing solid sorbent and a second reactor that regenerates the sorbent and releases the captured gas. Lock-hopper transfer systems move the sorbent between the reactors, while a pump enables the regeneration reactor to operate at a lower pressure than the capture reactor. Together, the components create a recirculating path for the sorbent.

Career Highlights

The patent addresses gas capture and sorbent regeneration through a system that combines pressure changes with moving adsorbent. Zaabout’s association with SINTEF TTO AS connects his work to an organization involved in technology transfer.

Collaborations

Schalk Cloete is identified as Zaabout’s coworker. The patent’s technical approach also reflects coordinated operation among its reactors, pump, and sorbent-transfer systems.

Conclusion

Abdelghafour Zaabout’s patent presents a recirculating solid-sorbent system that combines gas capture and regeneration through coordinated reactor and pressure operations.
