Abstract
A radial air purification system, a method of forming the purification system, and methods of removing at least one contaminant from a gas using the purification system are provided. The radial air purification system includes adsorbent media tubular supports that are fabricated using a fiberglass grating structure to provide increased strength, corrosion resistance, reduction in weight, and lower fabrication costs.
Claims22
A radial gas purification system, comprising:
- a hollow cylindrical housing having a circular base at a bottom, a circular lid at a top, and a side extending therebetween;
- a gas inlet in the side of the hollow cylindrical housing for feeding gas into the hollow cylindrical housing;
- a first outer tubular support disposed concentrically within the hollow cylindrical housing;
- a second inner tubular support disposed concentrically within the first outer tubular support;
- an adsorbent media space disposed between the first outer tubular support and the second inner tubular support;
- a purified gas outlet extending within the second inner tubular support and upwards through the circular lid;
- and
- the first outer tubular support and the second inner tubular support each comprising:
- at least one fiberglass grating formed into a circular shape to form a tubular structure, each of the at least one fiberglass grating comprising a first set of bars and a second set of bars, the first and second set of bars being interlaced, the first set of bars running parallel to each other, and the second set of bars running parallel to each other;
- and
- a porous layer disposed along an inner circumference of the tubular structure, along an outer circumference of the tubular structure, or along both the inner and outer circumferences of the tubular structure.
A tubular support for supporting adsorbent media within a radial air purification system, comprising:
- at least one fiberglass grating formed into a circular shape to form a tubular structure, the at least one fiberglass grating comprising a first set of bars and a second set of bars, the first and second set of bars being interlaced, the first set of bars running parallel to each other, and the second set of bars running parallel to each other;
- and
- a porous layer disposed along an inner circumference of the tubular structure, along an outer circumferences of the tubular structure, or along both the inner and outer circumferences of the tubular structure.
A method of forming a tubular support for supporting adsorbent media within a radial air purification system, comprising:
