1. A swing adsorption contactor system comprising:

  • a plurality of hollow rigid liners, wherein each of the plurality of hollow rigid liners has a liner inner surface, a liner outer surface and open axial ends and form a defined space within the liner inner surface, each of the plurality of hollow rigid liners has a portion of the liner outer surface adjacently disposed to a portion of the liner outer surface of one or more of the remaining plurality of hollow rigid liners and adjacent hollow rigid liners being fixedly connected to each other, wherein two or more of the plurality of hollow rigid liners are fixedly connected to each other via a weld seam which secures the two or more of the plurality of hollow rigid liners to one another and eliminates any gaps between the two or more of the plurality of hollow rigid liners for gaseous stream paths;

    a plurality of monolith adsorbent contactors, wherein each of the plurality of a monolith adsorbent contactors is disposed within one of the plurality of hollow rigid liners, and each of the plurality of monolith adsorbent contactors has a contactor outer surface disposed adjacent to and spaced from the liner inner surface of the one of the plurality of hollow rigid liners wherein each of the plurality of monolith adsorbent contactors is located essentially concentric within each of the plurality of hollow rigid liners wherein a uniform gap is created between the plurality of monolith adsorbent contactors and the plurality of hollow rigid liners; and

    wherein the uniform gap consists of a bonding agent being disposed between the contractor outer surface of the monolith adsorbent contactor and the liner inner surface of the hollow rigid liner to form a seal to prevent gaseous flow between the contractor outer surface and the liner inner surface.
