The present invention provides an improved pressure swing adsorption system, and, more particularly, a fast pressure swing adsorption system with low void volume, improved flow distribution, and enhanced process performance.
Adsorption processes have been widely used for the separation and purification of gases. In recent years, pressure swing adsorption (PSA) systems including vacuum PSA (VPSA) have been developed for enhanced gas separation operations, particularly for the commercial production of oxygen and/or nitrogen from air. The PSA process consists of basic steps such as adsorption-desorption. Air or another gas mixture is fed into the system, which includes one or more vessels, each with an adsorbent bed, to an upper adsorption pressure. The adsorbent beds (a.k.a. adsorbers) selectively adsorb the more readily adsorbable component(s) of the air or gas mixture. The less readily adsorbable component(s) passes through the adsorber. The vessel is then depressurized to a lower desorption pressure for the desorption of the more readily adsorbable component(s) from the adsorber(s), which is then repressurized to the upper adsorption pressure as cyclic operation is continued.
In order to improve performance, conventional PSA systems typically use two or more vessels in parallel with directional valves to connect the vessels in alternating sequence to the compressor or vacuum pump. Further, to fully utilize the adsorbent material employed, PSA systems require uniform flow of gas across the adsorbent vessel(s) throughout the PSA processing cycle. In addition, void volume and pressure drops in the PSA vessel entrance and exit regions (i.e., the inlets and outlets and their associated headers) have adverse effects on the process performance of a PSA system and must be minimized in practical commercial operations. Ruthven, et al. disclose a method for estimating the magnitude of effects by void volume via an equilibrium model. More specifically, they examined the effects of void volume in a simple four-step cycle with a linear isotherm, and showed that large void volume could significantly reduce recovery. Unfortunately, the study applies to an idealized situation without consideration of mass transfer resistance, heat effect and isotherm non-linearity. In addition, only production end void volume and a simple cycle are investigated. U.S. Pat. No. 5,968,233 to Rouge, et al. discloses a similar conclusion of void effects for a more realistic air separation cycle. However, the patent focuses only on production end void volume. More importantly, the patent looks for an optimum void volume for oxygen cost, rather than a minimum void volume.
The effect of void volume varies depending on the location of the void (relative to the adsorbent) and on which step of the cycle the void is considered. For example, the light product gas in the production end void space serves, to some extent, as a purge gas during a countercurrent regeneration step; however, this purge is less effective than a controlled purge at low pressure. Also, the gas and compression work in both the production and feed end voids can be partially recovered during an equalization step. However, the losses of compressed gas and work during regeneration can be significant. In general, lower void volume ratio results in improved process performance (i.e., improved recovery, power consumption, etc. without considering flow distribution requirements and increasing fabrication costs).
Conventional methods for reducing PSA void spaces and improving process performance typically falls into the following classes: (a) vessel system with improved headers, (b) single-vessel system, and (c) piston-driven PSA system.
Vessel system design is a classic approach, focusing only on the vessel or bed itself. Vessels are designed to improve flow distribution and minimize void spaces within the vessel ends (or headers) between the gas inlet (feed end) or outlet (production end) and the adsorbent. U.S. Pat. No. 5,759,242 to Smolarek, et al., which describes a radial adsorber, and U.S. Pat. No. 5,538,544 to Nowobilski, et al., which describes a conventional vertical adsorber, are two recent examples of this approach. However, the vessel design approach has its limits for reducing void space. With a given flow distributor, it can only decrease header space to a level where flow maldistribution and pressure drop are acceptable for the process. In addition, void spaces in distribution pipes are not addressed by this approach.
The single-vessel pressure swing adsorption system disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,194,892 to Jones, et al., is a rapid pressure swing adsorption (RPSA) system, which utilizes a single vessel filled with small adsorbent particles as well as very short cycle times (as short as a few seconds). It is worth noting that U.S. Pat. No. 4,194,892's primary purpose is not to reduce void space, but instead to reduce cycle time and adsorbent inventory and to eliminate multiple vessels. However, the use of a single bed can theoretically eliminate the distribution pipes (and then their voids) connecting a compressor or vacuum pump to different vessels in a multiple vessel PSA. The disadvantages of the single bed PSA are: (1) void space in the vessel header is not addressed and (2) product recovery is limited (in comparison to multiple vessel PSA) without an additional storage tank and recycle component.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,354,859 to Keller, et al. teaches a pressure swing parametric pumping process. This system, called a piston-driven PSA system, uses two synchronized pistons to pressurize and depressurize a single adsorber that is fed near the center of the adsorbent bed. Farooq, et al., Separation and Purification Technology 13 (1998) 181, applied this approach to a parallel passage adsorber for nitrogen and carbon dioxide separation. Suzuki, et al., Adsorption 2 (1996) 111 also utilized this approach in a single piston system for oxygen enrichment from air. This approach can theoretically eliminate header void spaces associated with conventional PSA systems. Moreover, there is no need for valves because flows can be controlled by the piston movement. However, the piston-driven PSA system suffers from scale-up difficulties. For instance, a very large piston is normally required for a large production unit. A piston of this size would be difficult to manufacture. Also, like the single bed PSA, the piston driven PSA suffers from low recovery in comparison to a conventional multiple vessel PSA.
Illustratively, European Patent Application 0,879,630 A2 to Garrett and La Cava extends the piston-driven PSA concept to a system with two sets of pistons or diaphragms. A first set of pistons or diaphragms is located at the top and bottom of the bed to influence fluid flow, as well as a second set of pistons or diaphragms at the side walls of the adsorber. The second set fractionally increases and decreases bed pressure prior to the adsorption and desorption steps, respectively. The Garrett and La Cava patent application teaches that using two sets is more efficient than only using one set. Nonetheless, as acknowledged by Garrett and LaCava, its recovery is low. In addition, the second set of pistons or diaphragms complicates the process.
The present invention addresses the limitations of conventional vessel designs, single vessel PSA, and piston-driven PSA systems. The present invention not only minimizes the header void spaces within each vessel, but also improves distribution pipe void spaces between the compressor/vacuum pump and each vessel. Moreover, the present invention can use multiple compressors and/or vacuum pumps to better distribute flow and further reduce the void spaces.
The present invention provides a novel PSA system and process with low void volume (also called "void spaces") and improved flow distribution that is adequate for fast cycle processes. This system can also be adapted for use in combined piston-driven and conventional multi-bed PSA systems as well as in bed-to-bed interactions.
In one embodiment of the present invention, a low pressure swing adsorption system is taught wherein flow movement and pressure pulse are influenced from the same pressure source. The pressure source may be a high pressure source or a low pressure sink. The system includes at least one vessel containing an adsorbent bed. An inlet (feed end) is coupled to the vessel by way of an inlet header and an outlet (production end) is coupled to the vessel by way of an outlet header. The inlet header and the outlet header of each vessel have a combined volume of less than approximately 20% of the volume of the adsorbent bed. Preferably, this volume is limited to less ton 10% and most preferably to less than 5%. Each inlet is coupled to a high pressure source or a low pressure sink. This configuration is depicted in
In a second embodiment, depicted in
In a third and most preferred embodiment, as depicted in
All void volume situated between the inlet and pressure source may be collectively referred to as feed end intermediary volume. This feed end intermediary volume is depicted in the figures as S1, S1′, V5, V5′ and V4. While silencers are depicted in the figures, the void source may be any system components and their associated volumes situated between the inlet and the pressure source and subjected to pressure changes. Thus, the term "intermediary volume" may include pipes, silencers, tanks, or any other void source that happens to be located in this area. In accordance with the present invention, this intermediary void volume may be limited to less than 15-20% of the total volume of the adsorbent bed(s).
The adsorbent bed(s) may be configured radially, vertically or, most preferably, configured as a flat header bed. In addition, the high pressure source may be of any type known to those skilled in the art; however, a compressor is preferable, such as a conventional Roots type compressor or a linear compressor (i.e., a piston compressor driven by a linear motor). The present invention may be employed wherein the piston compressor is comprised of more than one piston.
A low pressure sink may be used in conjunction with, or as an alternative to, the high pressure source described above. Any low pressure sink may be employed in the system of the present invention; however, a vacuum pump is preferred.
One object of the present invention is to reduce the void volume in both the feed end (inlet) and the production end (outlet) for fast PSA processes with reduced cycle time. A further object of the present invention is to provide a system with improved product gas production and improved adsorbent utilization. Another object of the present invention is to provide a system with reduced intermediary volume relative to the adsorbent bed(s) volume. Yet a further object is to present an efficient low void adsorption system that can be readily adaptable to single or multiple bed configurations as well as various bed configurations. Other features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following detailed description and when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
The present invention provides a pressure swing adsorption (PSA) system with a low void volume and enhanced process performance in which the void space in the inlet and outlet headers, the feed and vacuum distribution pipes and silencers is limited. In the disclosed embodiments, pressure sources, such as high pressure sources and/or low pressure sinks, are mounted proximate to, or nearly proximate to, the vessels. The present invention may suitably employ multiple inlets and/or multiple outlets to improve flow distribution and further decrease void volume.
Throughout this document, the terms "inlet" and "feed end" are used interchangeably and are intended to carry essentially the same meaning. Likewise, the terms "outlet" and "production end" are used interchangeably and are intended to carry essentially the same meaning.
Besides enhanced adsorption, the present invention results in a system with fast cycle times as compared with conventional PSA system performance. Using short cycles times may reduce adsorbent inventory, make PSA systems more compact, and increase productivity. This feature is especially important for medical applications such as oxygen concentrators. Therefore, decreasing cycle time has become a central point in PSA development. The present invention reduces the conventional 30 second cycle time by an order of magnitude.
The present invention has at least four advantages in low void volume, flow distribution and process performance as compared with the systems taught in the prior art. First, those skilled in the art understand that distribution pipes (also called feed distribution pipes and vacuum distribution pipes) connecting high pressure sources and/or low pressure sinks to the vessel contribute to total void space, thereby reducing the efficiency of the system. The present invention discloses that these high pressure sources and/or low pressure sinks can be mounted proximate to, or nearly proximate to, the vessels, thereby eliminating the need for these feed and vacuum distribution pipes and their associated volume. Likewise, silencers contribute to total void space and may be reduced or eliminated as disclosed in the present invention to reduce void space and improve system efficiency. On this basis, significant void volume reduction and process performance improvement are achieved in comparison with a conventional multi-bed PSA.
Second, more than one high pressure source and/or low pressure sink may be mounted proximate to, or nearly proximate to, each vessel, by suitably employing multiple inlets and/or outlets. These inlets and outlets improve flow distribution within the adsorbent bed headers and reduce header void space. For example, the ratio of the volume of the void space to the volume of the adsorbent bed is minimized. The resultant system has a reduced total void space as compared with the PSA systems taught in the prior art.
Third, the configuration taught herein removes the scale-up difficulties associated with Suzuki, et al.'s piston-driven system. Under the present invention, a series of smaller pistons may be suitably employed to replace one large piston, by using the multiple feeds.
Fourth, multi-beds and bed-to-bed interactions may be suitably employed to improve overall performance.
The total void space volume is the sum of these three void spaces. There is a large amount of irreversible work present in these void spaces due to pressure changes in the PSA process, representing a significant loss of power and process performance. This power loss increases with an increase in the ratio of high to low pressure.
Further, product gases remained trapped in these voids upon saturation of the adsorbent bed and are lost during regeneration of the adsorbent bed. Therefore, larger void spaces represent lost product.
In accordance with the present invention, systems within the following void space parameters may be developed by mounting high pressure sources and/or low pressure sinks proximate to, or nearly proximate to, the adsorbent bed typically in-line with fluid flow through the adsorbent bed so that pressure pulse and flow movement are influenced from the same pressure source.
The present invention also discloses that the total void space of silencers, tanks, pipes and other various sources of void space located between the inlet and the pressure sources may likewise be limited to about 20% of the adsorbent volume.
Note that in the case of radial bed configurations, header void space tends to be generally larger. Therefore, for radial beds, equation (1) is modified to:
Mounting the high pressure source and low pressure sink proximate to, or nearly proximate to, the vessel allows for less distribution pipe volumes, thereby reducing total void space.
In conventional systems, bed fluidization, pressure drop, and compressor capacity typically limit flow rate. One conventional method to increase productivity includes reducing the bed length and increasing the cross-sectional area of the bed. However, shorter bed lengths and larger bed diameters often result in a higher ratio of the void volume relative to the adsorbent bed volume. For instance, the total void volume ratio of a conventional axial-bed PSA system is about 30%, and the process cycle time is about 30 seconds. Reduction of the cycle time by 50% (i.e., from 30 seconds to 15 seconds) by cutting the bed length by 50%, approximately doubles the total void volume ratio (i.e., from 30% to 60%) since the inlet (feed end) and outlet (production end) void volumes remain the same. The increased void volume ratio dramatically decreases the process performance. Therefore, the void volume reduction is a key for fast PSA system developments.
The vessel is typically filled with an adsorbent suitable to the product desired, such as a nitrogen selective adsorbent that produces an oxygen product. The high pressure source may be any type of compressor, such as a conventional Roots type or linear compressor. The linear compressor is a piston compressor driven by a linear motor. These types of linear compressors have a higher efficiency and improved performance. In addition, it is easy to modulate capacity or flow with piston compressors; such a feature is very useful in medical concentrators. Furthermore, linear compressors may be modified to operate as a vacuum pump. The low pressure sink may be of any configuration, suitable to the system, however, a vacuum pump is preferred. The high pressure source and low pressure sink may be used in the alternative or in concert.
Also depicted in
Since the separation work in a PSA process is only done in the adsorbent, the rest of the void (i.e., non-adsorbent) volumes, such as distribution pipes and adsorber headers, must be minimized for improved process performance. In conventional bed headers, a single inlet or outlet is normally used. A certain volume is needed for distributing gas flows from the inlet or outlet uniformly to the adsorbent for better use of the adsorbent and process performance. Multiple inlets or outlets can provide a better flow distribution and require less header volume. The number of inlets or outlets depends on a number of factors, for example, product flow, diameter/size of the bed, high pressure source/low pressure sink capacity, etc. If enough inlets or outlets are provided, the flow distribution header volume could be virtually eliminated and a quasi-flat header could be obtained as illustrated in
Any process cycle with basic adsorption and desorption steps may suitably employ the configurations disclosed herein to improve void volume and efficiency. A representative PSA cycle using two adsorbers is selected for illustrative purposes, as shown in FIG. 6. The cycle consists of the following steps:
Three overlapping steps are used in this cycle: simultaneous feed and product (FP/PP), dual end equalization (EQ), and simultaneous dual end equalization and feed. These overlapping steps create a continuous feed thereby reducing cycle time. During step 1 (FP/PP) shown in the process cycle of FIG. 6 and as shown in the two-bed system of
The improvement in process performance as a result of the reduced void volume is illustrated in
By contrast, using the configuration disclosed in the present invention, the distribution pipes can be avoided as in
Similarly, the void volume has a very important effect on power consumption for fast cycle process because large amounts of power are generally lost in the voids. Simulations indicate that as compared with 70% void case A2, the present invention can reduce power by 16% in case B2 by eliminating the distribution void, and up to 50% in case C1 by using flat headers. It should be understood that the foregoing description is only illustrative of the invention. Various alternative and modifications can be devised by those skilled in the art without departing from the invention. Accordingly, the present invention is intended to embrace all such alternatives, modifications and variances which fall within the scope of the appended claims. More particularly, the system, although presented here with a one or two bed embodiment, can be practiced with more beds. Further, the invention is not restrcted to a single adsorbent. Multiple adsorbents can be employed. Also, adsorbents could be layered or mixed within a bed. The adsorbents should not be limited to nitrogen selective adsorbents mentioned above, other adsorbents can be employed as well. Although the process of the present invention is preferably operated near atmospheric pressures and ambient temperatures, it can be applied to a full range of process conditions, e.g.,pressures, temperature, and flow rate, etc.
Further, bed-to-bed equalizations or interactions are not limited to what is described in the present invention. Other arrangements can be used. When the bed is a segmented one, equalizations can be between segments. Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described herein, various other configurations may be suitable employed. In addition, the linear compressor is not limited to a piston compressor driven by a linear motor mentioned above. It can be a compressor driven by any electrical, magnetic or audio forces. While the examples are presented for an air separation system, the present invention is not intended to be limited to binary air separation. The principles of the present invention can be applied to any separation, purification and recovery system.

Lupa Restaurant, San Francisco
Tasted Monday, July 27, 2009 by drwine2001 with 432 views
This was a tremendous opportunity to taste a range of bottlings and vintages from this iconic Nuits producer. For me, the wines fell into a nice bell shaped curve, with 2 standouts at both the high and low ends (leaving aside the tragically corked bottle of Cailles), and a bunch of wines in the middle. Many thanks to everyone for contributing a wonderful mix of bottles to this event. I have noted the wines in the order in which they were poured and apologize for their somewhat sketchy nature.
A couple of thoughts:
1. I have not had Les St. Georges for quite some time so it was great to have the chance to go through 5 vintages of this wine. The 2 vintages where it was paired with the Vaucrains really showed a sleeker, finer side to this cru compared to that big boy.
2. The 1993 wines from multiple producers just keep on blossoming, continuing to go from strength to strength.
3. As with many '02s I've had recently, even this top of the line Chevillon showed surprising approachability.
Needless to say, an enlightening evening.

Todd James "Fantasy Island" @ Lazarides, LondonJuxtapoz // Thursday, April 23, 2015
No secret here that Juxtapoz loves the work of Todd "REAS" James. He has been on the cover 2x, been covered in various stages of his career, and love seeing his work evolve with each show. On May 1st, James will open "Fantasy Island" at Lazarides in London in their Rathbone space. From the gallery, "The vivid body of hyper-coloured works extends the artist's exploration into current socio-political affairs, continuing to stretch the boundary between the obscene and the humorous." We agree.

Storms, Beautiful Storms by Mitch DobrownerPhotography // Thursday, April 23, 2015
These are just stunning photos, not only because of the power of nature, but of the accomplished skill and timing by which photographer Mitch Dobrowner. These storms are fierce, almost unearthly if you think about it, but only something that the earth could create with such force and beauty, danger and size. Mitch, you are amazing.
A History of Pulp, PG-13 Erotica, and Illustration in One AuctionErotica // Thursday, April 23, 2015
Well this is a lot of fun. A few years ago, you may remember Juxtapoz printing a cover story on Hard Case Crime, a book publisher bringing back the pulp vibes and a little salacious fun of times of past. Well, Heritage Auctions has a crazy auction of Illustrative Art that covers both the past and present in pulp art, naughty things, and just some classic illustrations. From Dink Siegel, Hilo Chen, and the 1980's vibes of Patrick Nagel, this auction is classic.
Surreal Salon 7: A Parade for Pop Surrealism With a Side of Southern ComfortJuxtapoz // Thursday, April 23, 2015
Barbecue, Bourbon Street and the Blues—we've covered Louisiana, right? Wade a little deeper into the Bayou, though, and you just might wander into something very Southern and very surreal, as in, the Surreal Salon, which just exulted its seventh salute of all permutations pop and lowbrow. What started out as one night featuring local artists has grown into a festival offering the region's hospitality to art lovers of every age and background. This year, interactive was more than an adjective, as attendees played in the funhouse installation by artist collective Elevator Projects. The puppets of Quintron and Miss Pussycat cavorted amidst the electronic music of RAV3N, and of course, everyone was in costume, and hurray for homemade!
The Lightness and Subtle Darkness of Can DagarslaniErotica // Thursday, April 23, 2015
There is so much to look at in the photos of Can Dagarslani. What appears to be subtle turns out to be almost mind-bending, and the simplicity makes way for such a great aesthetic and eye. Here is the rundown on Can: "Graduating in 2006 from Mimar Sinan University of Fine Art, Istanbul, Can Dagarslani aged 28, became increasingly more interested in photography while studying architecture. It all began in 2003 when Dagarslani started working on landscape shoots of different places that would bring out each city's architectural plan. When Dagarslani discovered analography, his digital camera was putted aside for an analog camera that triggered his passion for photography."
RYCA "ROUGH WITH THE SMOOTH" for Brit Week @ Copro Gallery, LAJuxtapoz // Thursday, April 23, 2015
Paul Revere and the Midnight Ride notwithstanding, we love British Invasions. From the Beatles in the 60's to the Human League in the 80's, Vivienne Westwood to Stella McCartney, and Hell's Kitchen to House of Cards, culture from across the pond has literally been embraced and adopted on these shores. Brit Week was founded in 2007 to celebrate our creative relationship, educating the public on the full range of England's cultural contributions, and to do that in festive style, starting with last night's Red Carpet Launch at the Beverly Hills Home of the Consul General photographed by Juxtapoz Magazine's Sam Graham. Business Innovation Awards and the Christopher Guy Design award follow, but you're here about art, right?

Art Contemporain Pour Tous (ACPT) Fair, MontrealJuxtapoz // Wednesday, April 22, 2015
Our friends at Yves Laroche Gallery in Montreal just let us know about a new fair they helped found in the wonderful city of the North that we want you to go to this week and weekend. Last February, four gallery owners met in order to revisit the contemporary art fair formula as it is currently known in Montreal. Spurred by a common desire to present as complete a cross- section of contemporary art movements as possible, they initiated the organization of their own event apart from the one organized by The Contemporary Art Galleries Association (AGAC), of which they are otherwise all active members.

Beautiful historic hotel. However, with added rooms/expansion, sometimes hotel felt like a giant maze. Loved the location near Pearl Street. Restaurant & bar on site very good. Would stay here again. Staff very efficient and courteous.
Beautiful historic hotel. However, with added rooms/expansion, sometimes hotel felt like a giant maze. Loved the location near Pearl Street. Restaurant & bar on site very good. Would stay here again. Staff very efficient and courteous.
Lovely old hotel with a great location for waking, shopping, and eating. Room was spacious and clean. Fresh chocolate candy daily. Service was great. My only complaint was that the Internet connection was a bit spotty at times and I would have to reconnect. The staff was also very accommodating when my flight was cancelled and they gave me the room for an extra night at the price I had paid on a travel website, rather than their higher rack rate. I would definitely stay here again.
We stayed in the newer section again and although the rooms are a bit on the smaller side the location and beauty of the hotel are worth it!!!
If you are going to dine downstairs make your reservation early!!!
Best location for visiting Pearl Street!!
I have lived in Boulder since 1996 and I never stayed at the Boulderado until last month. My only regret is not staying at the Boulderado sooner! You can't beat the location. I've always loved Q's and Corner bar which are located right in the hotel.
This is an incredible historical hotel in the heart of Boulder. I love the historical elements throughout the hotel. It is like walking around in a museum to some extent. I loved staying in the older part of the hotel.
We got married at the Boulderado and stayed there two nights, along with our families, who were traveling from out of town. It was the best weekend of my life. The staff was incredible, from the check in to the elevator guy, to the guys that open the doors for you every time you arrive or leave, etc.
Tonya was the event manager for my wedding and she was amazing! She was on top of every little detail and she was so sweet and a gracious host through all the planning and the event. She was very personable and great at communicating. She helped make our wedding day incredible.
The ceremony was in the porch room and the reception was in the Spruce room. I loved the way the staff and Tonya set both rooms up for me. Everything was ready ahead of time and you cannot beat the quality that I received. Everything from the initial phone calls with Tonya to her follow through with the final bill were pleasant. It was worth every penny.
All the rooms were great! We were upgraded to a suite and I was able to check out a lot of the other rooms where members or our family were staying. I was impressed by all of them and it was really cool how they were all different. I think all of the cleaning people are OCD the rooms are impeccably clean.
I've never stayed at such a nice hotel and I hope to come back for anniversaries! It is on the pricey side of hotels, but I think it is worth it and it seems to be competitive when comparing with other similar, high end hotels.
Thank you, Tonya, and the rest of the staff at Boulderado!!!
As others have said, the hotel is attractively restored and has a lot of character -- but thoroughly modern amenities. The location is at the center of town. We were in Boulder for a family wedding so our group occupied a half dozen or more rooms and we had a negotiated rate -- which was still pretty hefty. Our rooms were all in the annex building. Our king room was attractive and very comfortable; one of the other king rooms was 2/3 the size. The double queen rooms were larger, and some were huge. One of the relatives left for another hotel because a skylight over the third person's rollaway in the living area made it impossible to sleep. SO inquire carefully about your room; there is variation. The bathrooms were large and well-equipped. The decor was attractive in all cases -- the rooms actually look like the hotel's professional photos -- and the annex itself has an attractive interior with plenty of dark wood. It was built much more recently, but has the same Victorian style as the original building. As some reviews have said, getting between the main lobby and the annex on the inside is a bit complex -- up some stairs (or elevator), across a bridgeway, and then up or down an elevator or stairs to your floor. It's much easier, especially if you're headed out, to take the annex elevator down to the ground floor garage level -- the walls are open so it's bright, and it's just a few steps out to the street. Our one service complaint, and hence the 4 instead of 5 stars, were hassles on checking in. The front desk kept repeatedly saying the room for our kids, adjacent to ours, would be ready "soon," but housekeeping only managed to complete cleaning it hours later and we had to inform the desk that it was done. Otherwise, the service was pleasant and friendly. We enjoyed the hotel restaurant for dinner, and the staff was accommodating of our large group.
If you appreciate history and charm of unique hotels, the Boulderado will not disappoint. The service was excellent and decor was charming, but I felt the amenities were not quite on par with the expense. For the price, the temperature of the room and bathroom should have been easier to regulate (either too hot or too cold) and the bathroom could have been more luxurious. The shower was very average and there was no counter space. That said, the location in town is perfect and everyone there was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay overall.
It was a real treat to have attentive service, gorgeous surroundings, great location and wonderful restaurants within the building. After college visits all day, it was relaxing and felt special to just go downstairs and eat a great meal in artistic, elegant restaurants. Very memorable.

It's hard to get a really good horror film nowadays, but this was great in a way it's like Saw but much better, lots of blood and gore and plenty of shock moments you have to look away from, other great horrors for 2012/13 The Cabin in the Woods, and just watched Silent Hill Revelation that's Good as well.
