Abstract
Parallel modules for in-line recharging of sorbent materials using alternate duty cycles for a sorbent cartridge. The sorbent cartridge can have two or more modules contained therein having connectors connecting each of the modules. One or more of the modules can be reusable and the sorbent materials therein can be recharged.
Claims48
A sorbent cartridge, comprising:
- at least two modules, wherein the at least two modules are positioned parallel to one another;
- the modules having one or more connectors fluidly connectable to any one of a fluid flow path, a wash line wherein the wash line is fluidly connectable to a recharger, and a bypass line wherein the bypass line is fluidly connectable to another module or fluid flow path.
A fluid circuit, comprising:
- at least two modules in parallel, each module connected by one or more connectors;
- an operational line directing flow along the connectors and through the modules;
- at least one wash line fluidly connecting one or more connectors to a recharger;
- and at least one bypass line to bypass at least one module and operational line.
