Abstract
Process for providing a purified gas stream, comprising: providing a crude gas stream comprising an organic impurity; condensing at least a portion of the impurity from the gas stream to form a prepurified gas stream; and subjecting the prepurified stream to adsorption on a first adsorption medium; wherein the first medium is subjected to a regeneration comprising: providing a circulating inert gas stream having a temperature of at least 100° C.; passing the circulating inert gas stream over the first medium to form an organic impurity-loaded inert gas stream; cooling the loaded stream; condensing at least a portion of the organic impurity from the cooled stream to provide a prepurified circulating inert gas stream; subjecting the prepurified gas stream to adsorption on a second adsorption medium to provide a purified circulating inert gas stream; and recycling the purified gas stream to the circulating inert gas stream.
