First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of recharging a sorbent, comprising the steps of:
- connecting at least a first module and a second module in parallel with one or more connectors;
fluidly connecting at least one connector to at least one wash line, wherein the at least one wash line is fluidly connected to a recharger;
fluidly connecting at least one connector to at least one bypass line, wherein the at least one bypass line diverts flow from the connector to bypass at least one module;
connecting one or more valves to the connectors at junctions between the modules, the at least one bypass line and/or the at least one wash line; and
selectively opening and closing the valves to direct fluid flow from the recharger through the at least one of the first module and second module to recharge a sorbent in the first module or second module.

Abstract
Parallel modules for in-line recharging of sorbent materials using alternate duty cycles for a sorbent cartridge. The sorbent cartridge can have two or more modules contained therein having connectors connecting each of the modules. One or more of the modules can be reusable and the sorbent materials therein can be recharged.
