Abstract
A system and process for regenerating sieve materials in a gas processing system. The process can include circulating a cooling gas through sieve material of a first bed, the cooling gas having a first concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) suitable for liquefaction into a liquid natural gas (LNG) product. The process can also include circulating a regenerating gas through sieve material of a second bed, the regenerating gas having a second concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) that is greater than the first concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) of the cooling gas.
