A multi-stage adsorptive gas separation process and system for separating at least a first component from a multi-component fluid mixture employs at least a first and second adsorption stage, for reducing overall steam and energy consumption for regeneration of an adsorbent material. In the adsorptive gas separation system, a first-stage adsorptive gas separation process and separator, and a second-stage adsorptive gas separation process and separator, each employ one regenerating stream, where the regenerating streams have different regeneration mediums.

A pressure swing adsorption (PSA) system for purifying a feed gas is provided. The PSA system may have a first adsorber bed and a second adsorber bed, each having a feed port, a product port, and adsorbent material designed to adsorb one or more impurities from the feed gas to produce a product gas. The PSA system may also have a first valve configured to direct flows of the feed gas and the product gas through a network of piping. The PSA system may further have a first orifice configured to regulate a flow rate of gas between the first adsorber bed and the second adsorber bed during the pressure equalization step and a second orifice configured to regulate a flow rate of gas between the first adsorber bed and the second adsorber bed during the purge step.
