1. A cyclical swing adsorbent bed unit for removing contaminants from a gaseous feed stream, the adsorbent bed unit comprising:

  • a housing forming an interior region, the housing including a body portion secured between a first head and a second head;

    an adsorbent bed disposed within the interior region;

    a plurality of first valves secured to the housing, wherein each of the plurality of first valves is configured to control fluid flow along a flow path extending from a location external to the housing through a conduit and to the adsorbent bed, wherein each of the plurality of first valves has a valve cross sectional area disposed outside of an interface cross sectional area of the adsorbent bed;

    wherein the plurality of first valves are poppet valves;

    the adsorbent bed is comprised of an adsorbent material supported on a non-adsorbent support, such support containing substantially parallel flow channels; and

    the adsorbent bed may be removed and replaced by access to the interior region which is achieved by removing the first head without removing the plurality of first valves from the housing.
