A method of operating a thermal swing adsorption process by determining a parameter relating to the water content of a feed gas, selecting process conditions for regeneration of the adsorbent in the thermal swing adsorption process based on the parameter and modifying the regeneration process conditions to accord with the selected process conditions for regeneration is disclosed. Apparatus for effecting this adsorption method and apparatus in which regeneration conditions are modified based on the actual ambient water content of the feed gas are also disclosed.

Process for treating a feed gas

A binderless X-type zeolite is used in a process for the reduction of the level of carbon dioxide and/or N O in a gaseous mixture, the zeolite being obtained by converting the binder in a bound zeolite to zeolite such that the ratio of the adsorption capacity for carbon dioxide of the binderless zeolite to the adsorption capacity of the bound zeolite is greater than the weight ratio of the level of zeolite in the binderless zeolite to the level in the bound zeolite.

Process for reducing the level of carbon dioxide in a gaseous mixture

Carbon dioxide, water, nitrous oxide and optionally ethylene are removed from a feed air stream by a temperature swing adsorption using a first adsorbent such as alumina to adsorb water, a second adsorbent such as 13X zeolite to adsorb carbon dioxide, and a third adsorbent such as binderless calcium exchanged X zeolite to adsorb nitrous oxide and optionally ethylene, prior to cryogenic separation of the purified air stream.

Purification of air

Method and apparatus for maintaining even heat distribution to each of the tubes contained in a down-fired induced draft furnace by eliminating external atmosphere disturbances such as wind from influencing furnace operation. The top of the furnace is isolated from receiving ambient air except through a central path which controls both rate and direction of air flow.
