Regenerative oxidizer arrangement

A method of manufacturing a regenerative oxidizer for oxidizing gas, the method comprising:

• providing a combustion chamber configured to heat gas present in the combustion chamber;
• positioning a first heat exchange media bed and a second heat exchange media bed, wherein each of the first heat exchange media bed and the second heat exchange media bed are in fluid communication with the combustion chamber,
• wherein a gas pathway is defined by a flow of gas through the first heat exchange media bed and the second heat exchange media bed;
• and
• disposing a rotary valve at least partially between the first heat exchange media bed and the second heat exchange media bed, wherein the rotary valve is configured to alternate the flow of gas between a first airflow direction along the gas pathway and a second airflow direction along the gas pathway,
• wherein the first airflow direction is defined in an instance in which an inlet feed of gas is provided to the first heat exchange media bed, and the second airflow direction is defined in an instance in which the inlet feed of gas is provided to the second heat exchange media bed, and
• wherein the first heat exchange media bed, the rotary valve, and the second heat exchange media bed are arranged with respect to each other such that the gas pathway between the first heat exchange media bed and the rotary valve and between the second heat exchange media bed and the rotary valve is non-linear.
