Abstract
The present invention relates to an apparatus used for gas purification in a manner that allows for higher flow rates without an unacceptable increase in the pressure vessel diameter. The purifier contains inner and outer filter sleeves. Between the sleeves is contained a purification medium that allows for radial flow of the gas from the inner filter sleeve to the outer filter sleeve, via the purification medium, in order to be released from the purifier.
