A method to reduce the cycle time in a pressure swing adsorption process by reducing the required pressure equalization time in a cycle, thereby reducing the overall cycle time and increasing product recovery per unit of adsorbent used. This reduces the amount of adsorbent required in the beds for a given feed rate while continuing to provide product at an acceptable product purity, and has the desirable effect of reducing the capital cost of the process equipment required for a given volumetric production rate.

The method as claimed in claim 21, wherein the apparatus has a second stacking position located a second distance from the axis, and a second mass removably received at the second stacking position, the second mass having a magnitude, the method further comprising adjusting the magnitude of the second mass. 23. The method as claimed in claim 20, further comprising adjusting the first stacking position on the swing arm to change the distance of the first stacking position from the axis. 24. The method as claimed in claim 20, wherein the apparatus includes: a primary tether guide located adjacent to the swing arm; a vertical member; and an intermediate tether guide adjustably coupled to the vertical member and located between the primary tether guid
