1. An adsorption module, comprising:
a first plurality of process gas flow channels defined by a structural material of a unitary structure, the structural material comprising at least one adsorbent component;
a second plurality of heat transfer fluid flow channels defined by the structural material of the unitary structure;
one or more process gas inlet headers in fluid communication with the process gas flow channels;
one or more heat transfer fluid inlet headers in fluid communication with the heat transfer fluid flow channels, at least one of the one or more process gas inlet headers and the one or more heat transfer fluid inlet headers being defined by the structural material of the unitary structure; and
at least one outlet header in fluid communication with the process gas flow channels or the heat transfer fluid flow channels.
