The INTRUPTor™ uses novel sorbents developed and manufactured at Hydron Energy that are significantly advanced compared to current industry standards. By comparison, commercial processes run at a high pressure/temperature under slow cycle speeds using conventional adsorbent beads. The INTRUPTor™ cycle runs orders of magnitude faster than conventional cycles using parallel passage contactor sorbent architecture. INTRUPTor™ rapid cycle sorption technology overcomes the inherent disadvantages of conventional technologies such as slow gas diffusion, relatively large vessels, and complex balance of the plant.

The INTRUPTor™ technology uses three novel proprietary technology cores: mesoporous nano structure sorbent, parallel passage contactors architecture, and integrated rotary valves. Unlike commercial adsorbents and absorbents, our nano structure sorbent’s chemistry provide ultra-high capacity, nearly unlimited selectivity, and ultra-low regeneration energy for gas separation. Parallel passage contactors provide exceptional fast gas diffusion, low pressure drop laminar flow gas passages, and no material attrition for immobilized sorbent architecture. The multi-port rotary valves are used for rapid and efficient switching of gases between sorbent beds, effectively capturing the increased capacity of the sorbents.
