1. A modular gas separation tray to accommodate structured sorbent materials for a gas separation process comprising:
a support structure comprising a set of parallel side wall plates connected by support rods that are communicatively coupled to each of the parallel side wall plates,
wherein the support rods are oriented perpendicular to each of the parallel side wall plates or are oriented at non-orthogonal angles in a crossover fashion to each of the parallel side wall plates, and
wherein the support rods are beams or poles; and
a sorbent bed comprising multiple layers of structured sorbent in a parallel plate arrangement, through which fluid flows in at least two perpendicular directions.
