Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A process according to various approaches includes flushing an intermediate transfer line between a raffinate stream transfer line and a desorbent stream transfer line away from the adsorptive separation chamber to remove residual fluid including desorbent from intermediate transfer line. The process may include directing the residual fluid flushed from the intermediate transfer line to a recycle stream to introduce the residual fluid into the adsorptive separation chamber.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A process for separating components in a feed stream by simulated countercurrent adsorptive separation comprising: introducing a feed stream, comprising at least one preferentially adsorbed component and at least one non-preferentially adsorbed component, and a desorbent stream into two different ports via two different corresponding transfer lines along a multi-bed adsorptive separation chamber having a plurality of beds that are serially connected in…
