ABSTRACT:
A process for controlling the atmosphere in a container including the steps of passing a pressurized portion of the atmosphere serially through a plurality of separate but inter-communicating adsorbent beds which selectively adsorb water vapor, ethylene, carbon dioxide and nitrogen from the compressed atmosphere, then isolating the ethylene-selective adsorbent and desorbing ethylene therefrom, then desorbing nitrogen from the nitrogen-selective adsorbent and purging the carbon dioxide-selective bed, the ethylene-selective bed and the water vapor-selective bed with the desorbed nitrogen, and returning the purge and purged gas mixture to the container.
