Abstract
A system for mobile carbon capture, preferably including a capture module, a regeneration module, and a storage module 130. The system can optionally include a thermal control module and/or a dehumidifier. A method for mobile carbon capture, preferably including adsorbing a target species, desorbing the target species, and storing the target species. The method can optionally include pre-treating input gas, offloading stored species, and/or regenerating desiccators.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- passing a volume of exhaust gas through a housing of a capture module such that a capture medium, which is maintained below a threshold temperature, adsorbs a portion of a target species from the volume of exhaust gas;
- applying heat to the capture medium such that the capture medium exceeds the threshold temperature and the portion of the target species desorbs from the capture medium;
- while the capture medium exceeds the threshold temperature, urging gasses from the housing into a regeneration manifold fluidly coupled to the housing;
- after the portion of the target species desorbs, storing at least a subset of the portion of the target species in a storage module, comprising, while urging the gasses from the housing into the regeneration manifold:
- at the regeneration manifold, receiving the gasses;
- at the regeneration manifold, while receiving the gasses, venting an initial volume of the gasses;
- and
- in response to a trigger condition being met and after venting the initial volume of the gasses, operating the regeneration manifold to stop venting, and
- wherein, after the regeneration manifold stops venting, an additional volume of the gasses is received at the regeneration manifold and evacuated to the storage module, the additional volume comprising the subset of the portion of the target species.

A system, comprising:
- an intake manifold defining an intake interior configured to receive exhaust gas;
- a capture module comprising a housing and a capture medium contained within the housing;
- a storage module configured to store a target species;
- and
- a regeneration module comprising:
- a regeneration manifold having an inlet connected to the capture module and an outlet connected to the storage module;
- and
- a valve arranged along the regeneration manifold between the inlet and the outlet;
- wherein the system is switchable between a vent mode and a storage mode based at least in part a trigger condition being met,
- wherein in the vent mode, the valve is controlled so that gasses evacuated from the capture module do not reach the storage module during a first time interval of a regeneration cycle, and
- wherein, in the storage mode, the valve is controlled so that the gasses evacuated from the capture module reach the storage module during a second time interval of the regeneration cycle.
8 more elements
A method, comprising:
- adsorbing, by a capture medium, a portion of a target species from a volume of exhaust gas being passed through a capture module that contains the capture medium;
- desorbing the portion of the target species from the capture medium;
- and
- flowing a regeneration gas through the capture medium so as to purge the desorbing portion of the target species from the capture module.
