Method and Apparatus For Removal Of Oil From Utility Gas Stream

A method of treating a gaseous feed stream, comprising:

• providing a gaseous feed stream having a volume of oil therein;
• treating a portion of the gaseous feed stream using a selective component removal system having at least one swing adsorption process unit to form a utility stream for use in a utility component, wherein the at least one swing adsorption process unit includes a structured adsorbent bed comprising a high surface area solid and configured to remove at least a portion of the volume of oil;
• regenerating the swing adsorption process unit in a calcination process;
• feeding the utility stream into the utility component, wherein the utility stream is compatible with the utility component;
• and
• utilizing the utility stream in the utility component.

A structured adsorbent contactor, comprising:

• an inlet end;
• an outlet end;
• and
• a plurality of open flow channels extending from the inlet end to the outlet end, wherein a portion of the plurality of open flow channels are sealed at the inlet end and the remainder of the plurality of flow channels are sealed at the outlet end, and wherein the surface of the open flow channels are comprised of a structured adsorbent material having a selectivity for a first component of a mixture over a second component of the mixture greater than one.
