Methods of Generating and Utilizing Utility Gas
First Claim
1. A method of treating a gaseous feed stream, comprising:
- producing a gaseous feed stream;
dividing at least a portion of the gaseous feed stream to form a gaseous slip stream;
separating the gaseous slip stream using a selective component removal system having at least one swing adsorption process unit to form a utility stream for use in a utility component;
feeding the first utility stream into the utility component, wherein the utility stream is compatible with the utility component; and
utilizing the utility stream in the utility component.

Abstract
The present application is directed to a method and system for preparing gaseous utility streams from gaseous process streams, nitrogen process streams, and other types of streams. The methods and systems may include at least one swing adsorption process including pressure swing adsorption, temperature swing adsorption, and rapid-cycle adsorption processes to treat gaseous streams for use in dry gas seals of rotating equipment such as compressors, turbines and pumps and for other utilities. The systems and processes of the present disclosure are further applicable to high pressure gaseous streams, for example, up to about 600 bar.
