TSA cycles require a considerable amount of heat to raise the temperature of the adsorbent and vessel as well as to supply the heat of adsorption. The heating and cooling cycle is time consuming, typically over an hour. As a result, the TSA processes are used primarily for the removal of small concentrations of impurities from gases. Frequently, an inert gas purge is used in combination with increased temperature to assure complete regeneration.
