Provided are apparatus and systems for performing a swing adsorption process. This swing adsorption process may involve performing modeling to generate a swing adsorption system to manage a feed stream to produce a product stream within specification. The process may be utilized for swing adsorption processes, such as TSA and/or PSA, which are utilized to remove one or more contaminants from a gaseous feed stream.

A method of natural gas treatment including introducing a natural gas containing stream into a dryer unit, thereby producing a treated natural gas containing stream. Introducing the treated natural gas containing stream into a nitrogen rejection unit, thereby producing a further treated natural gas stream as a nitrogen rejection unit product. Splitting the nitrogen rejection unit product into at least two portions, introducing the first portion of the further treated natural gas stream into a reformer unit as first part of feed, and introducing a second portion of the further treated natural gas stream into the dryer unit as a regeneration stream, thereby producing a regeneration waste stream. Introducing at least a portion of the regeneration waste stream into the reformer unit as second part of feed.

A method for making a titania-polymer nanocomposite by simultaneously forming TiO.sub.2 nanoparticles in situ from a TiO.sub.2 precursor in the presence of urea and interfacially polymerizing polyamide precursors thereby producing a titania-polymer nanocomposite. A titania-polymer nanocomposite made by this method. A method for removing a dye or metal from water comprising contacting contaminated water with the titania-polymer nanocomposite.

The present invention relates to an improved method for removing contaminants from a gaseous stream substantially comprising carbon dioxide. More specifically, the method comprises the step of subjecting the gaseous stream to an absorption step in which the absorbent is liquid carbon dioxide wherein the waste of carbon dioxide is minimized by utilizing a compressing means for generating a pressure difference between two streams in a reboiler.

An exhaust air scrubber for removing dust, abraded product, and water-soluble constituents from process exhaust air may include in a single housing a cleaning stage that includes a droplet separator and a packing disposed below the droplet separator. The exhaust air scrubber may also include an inlet apparatus for process exhaust air disposed in a lower portion of the housing, a withdrawal apparatus for scrubbing solution, and a withdrawal conduit for cleaned exhaust air, with the withdrawal conduit beginning inside the housing above the cleaning stage, passing downward inside the housing, and passing out of the housing to an outside in the lower portion of the housing below the cleaning stage. The scrubber may further include a feed conduit for scrubbing solution in an upper portion of the housing above the cleaning stage.

A method of operating a compressor system includes determining an efficiency of a compressor configured to operate at a plurality of output flow settings, including one or more of measuring, calibrating, calculating, or modeling motor efficiency over a range of supply voltage and pulse width modulation duty cycle combinations, each combination including a supply voltage of a plurality of supply voltages and a pulse width modulation duty cycle of a plurality of pulse width modulation duty cycles. The method further includes selecting a supply voltage and a pulse width modulation duty cycle for use at at least one output flow setting of the plurality of output flow settings based on the determined efficiency of the compressor, generating the selected supply voltage by maintaining, reducing, or increasing a nominal supply voltage, and applying the selected pulse width modulation duty cycle.

A filter media can include a fiber coated with a barrier coating that is substantially non-reactive to reactive species, and a photocatalytic coating disposed on the barrier coating, wherein the photocatalytic coating generates reactive species in response to illumination with optical radiation.
