Summary:The present disclosure relates to an apparatus (10) for drying a process gas. The apparatus (10) includes a principal adsorption unit (11) having an inlet (14) for receiving a process gas from a compressor, and an outlet (16) for discharging the process gas. A first supplemental adsorption unit (12) has an adsorbent for adsorbing water. A second supplemental adsorption unit (13) also has an adsorbent for adsorbing water. The apparatus (10) is configured to fluidly connect the outlet of the principal adsorption unit (16) to at least one of the first and second supplemental adsorption units (12, 13). The at least one of the first and second supplemental adsorption units (12, 13) is operable to adsorb water to dry the process gas discharged from the principal adsorption unit. The present disclosure also relates to a method of drying a process gas; a control unit; and a non-transitory computer-readable medium.
