Abstract From the Canadian patent

An adsorption process and system for the selective adsorption of a more readily adsorbable component such, as nitrogen, as from air or other feed gas mixture is carried out using a composite adsorbent bed containing different adsorbent materials positioned in separates zones in which the temperature conditions favor adsorption performance of the particular adsorbent material under applicable processing conditions in each zone. A method for the selection of the adsorbent materials is based on Adsorption Figure of Merit values.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed October 18, 1996 and granted September 5, 2000. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended October 18, 2016.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by October 18, 2018.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
