Contactor assembly and sorbent cartridge having sorbent bed for contactor assembly

Abstract

A contactor assembly configured to capture CO2 from a fluid flow, the contactor assembly including a sorbent bed, the sorbent bed including a CO2 adsorbent material and having a first end and a second end, wherein a thickness of the sorbent bed is varied between the first end and the second end. A method of reducing pressure drop of fluid flow through the contactor assembly includes arranging a sorbent cartridge in the contactor vessel, the sorbent cartridge having the sorbent bed. A sorbent cartridge configured for insertion in a contactor vessel includes a sorbent bed having a CO2 adsorbent material, a first end, a second end, a thickness of the sorbent bed at the first end being less than a thickness of the sorbent bed at the second end.
