Apparatus and process of modular true moving bed for gas separation using heat exchange reactor

A modular true moving bed apparatus for gas separation, comprising:

• a heat exchange reactor arrangement 100 having at least one of an adsorption zone 102, a desorption zone 104 and a cooling zone 106 for indirect heat exchange,
• wherein the adsorption zone 102 is covered with an outer shell 202, and a plurality of tubes 212 arranged horizontally inside the adsorption zone 102,
• wherein the outer shell 202 comprises a tube inlet port 204, a tube outlet port 206, a shell inlet port 208, and a shell outlet port 210, wherein the tube inlet port 204 allows a gaseous mixture to flow over the plurality of cartridges (214a, 214b, . . . , 214n) carrying sorbent material are in motion inside each tube,
• wherein the desorption zone 104 is covered with the outer shell 302 and the plurality of tubes 310 arranged horizontally inside the desorption zone 104,
• wherein the outer shell 302 comprises a plurality of evacuation ports (304a, 304b, . . . 304n), a desorption shell inlet port 312 and a desorption shell outlet port 314, wherein the outer shell 302 is filled with hot fluid passed via the desorption shell inlet port 312 and the cold fluid exits via the desorption shell outlet port 314 exhibits heat exchange,
• wherein the plurality of cartridges (214a, 214b, . . . 214n) carrying sorbent material are in motion inside each tube 310,
• wherein the cooling zone 106 is covered with the outer shell 402 and the plurality of tubes arranged horizontally inside the cooling zone,
• wherein the outer shell 402 have a cooling tube inlet port 404, a cooling tube outlet port 406, a cooling shell inlet port 408 and a cooling shell outlet port 410,
• wherein the outer shell 402 is filled with a cold fluid passed via the cooling shell inlet port 408 and a hot fluid exits through the cooling shell outlet port 410;
• allowing the gaseous mixture to flow through the tube inlet port of the adsorption zone 102, the sorbent material present inside each cartridge adsorbs a target gas to reach the desorption zone 104;
• evacuating the target gas from the gaseous mixture adsorbed by the plurality of cartridges through the plurality of evacuation ports inside each tube;
• and
• passing the cooling fluid through the cooling shell inlet port of the cooling zone 106 to flow over the tubes where the plurality of cartridges are in motion to perform heat exchange to cool the sorbent material.
