A method of purifying a fluid stream with a structured adsorbent unit comprising, at least one structured adsorbent unit with a cycle time C, each structured adsorbent unit comprising N adsorbing beds, wherein N is greater than or equal to 3, each adsorbing bed comprising at least 2 adsorbent modules, each adsorbent module comprising a plurality of stacked sheets, each sheet comprising a nano-adsorbent powder affixed together with binder material onto a porous electrical heating substrate,
- in which each bed is subjected to a sequence comprising, in succession, an adsorption cycle, and a regeneration cycle,
- wherein each bed is out of phase with the cycle for all the other beds, provided that at least two beds are in the adsorption step at any time, wherein there is a lag time between the start of cycles in successive beds.
