Contaminant removal from a mobile atmosphere using regenerative liquid sorbent

Abstract

A mobile contaminant removal system includes a contaminant sorption system of a mobile atmosphere. The contaminant sorption system includes at least one scrubber and a liquid sorbent loop. The at least one scrubber includes a membrane separator and is configured to receive a spent air stream from a ventilation system of the mobile atmosphere, absorb one or more contaminants from the spent air stream into a liquid sorbent, and discharge a clean air stream to the ventilation system. In an absorption mode, the liquid sorbent loop circulates the liquid sorbent through the at least one scrubber in a closed loop. In a regeneration mode, the liquid sorbent loop discharges the liquid sorbent to a system external to the mobile atmosphere, such as a liquid sorbent storage system or a liquid sorbent regeneration system.
