Abstract:
A vertical scrubber (1) for exhaust gas from a marine vessel is described. An exhaust gas tube (2) is substantially coaxially arranged through the bottom of a lower scrubbing chamber (3) and is released though an exhaust gas outlet (20) being coaxially arranged through the top of an upper scrubbing chamber (13). A lower scrubbing chamber deflection body (4) is arranged above the opening of the exhaust gas tube (2) for redirecting the exhaust gas towards the walls of the scrubber and create turbulent gas flow, where one or more lower chamber water injector(s) (6, 6′) is (are) arranged above the lower scrubbing chamber deflection body (4), to introduce scrubbing water, and where a lower chamber exhaust gas outlet (12) is arranged at the top of the lower scrubbing chamber (3) as a coaxial constriction, for withdrawing the partly scrubbed exhaust gas from the first scrubbing chamber and introducing the gas into the upper scrubbing chamber (13).

Abstract:
A process of mass transfer is described which utilises latent heat transfer with little or sensible heat transfer. In a preferred process microbubbles are used under certain conditions of contact with a liquid phase to ensure highly effective mass transfer between a gaseous and liquid phase with significantly less than expected or little or no sensible heat transfer. The present invention in part provides a means by which the known state of a cold liquid of varying depths can be changed using a hot gas injected via a micro bubble inducing internal mixing without allowing the resultant mixture to reach equilibrium thereby ensuring the transfer process becomes continuous. Thus a process is described wherein at least one gaseous phase is contacted with at least one liquid phase such that the heat ratio of the system (AA) is maintained at an a value of greater than 0.5, and the mass transfer is effected by passing a gaseous phase comprising microbubbles through a liquid phase of thickness no more than 10 cm.
Abstract:
A scrubber 31 includes: an exhaust gas inflow passage 41 through which a high-temperature exhaust gas is introduced; an injecting portion 42 configured to inject clean water to the exhaust gas introduced through the exhaust gas inflow passage 41; an upper chamber 43 including a bottom surface configured to receive the clean water injected from the injecting portion 42; a lower chamber 44 located under the upper chamber 43; a communication pipe 45 which extends downward from the bottom surface 51 of the upper chamber 43, in which an opening portion 57 of a lower portion of the communication pipe 45 is open in the lower chamber 44, through which the clean water received by the bottom surface 51 of the upper chamber 43 is discharged to the lower chamber 44, and through which the exhaust gas in the upper chamber 43 is accelerated to be introduced to the lower chamber 44; and an exhaust gas outflow passage 46 through which the exhaust gas having been introduced to the lower chamber 44 is suctioned and discharged from the lower chamber 44.
Abstract:
An absorbent according to the present invention absorbs CO 2 or H 2 S contained in flue gas emitted from a power generating plant such as a thermal plant, and contains three or more amine compounds selected from linear or cyclic amine compounds having a primary amino group, and linear or cyclic amine compounds having a secondary amino group. By way of a synergetic effect of the mixture of these compounds, the absorption speed of CO 2 or H 2 S absorption is improved. A small amount of CO 2 contained in a large amount of boiler flue gas can be absorbed efficiently.
Abstract:
A system and method for processing unconditioned syngas first removes solids and semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOC), then removes volatile organic compounds (VOC), and then removes at least one sulfur containing compound from the syngas. Additional processing may be performed depending on such factors as the source of syngas being processed, the products, byproducts and intermediate products desired to be formed, captured or recycled and environmental considerations.
Abstract:
A CO 2 recovery unit (10A; 10B; 10C) for recovery and removal of CO 2 in a CO 2 -containing flue gas 11A that contains CO 2 using a CO 2 -absorbent 12 within a CO 2 absorber 13 is provided. The CO 2 absorber 13 includes a CO 2 -absorbing unit 13A for the absorption of CO 2 in a CO 2 -containing flue gas, a main water rinsing unit 13C that is provided on a gas flow downstream side of the CO 2 -absorbing unit 13A and that uses rinsing water 20 to recover the accompanying CO 2 -absorbent while cooling decarbonated flue gas, and a preliminary water rinsing unit 13B provided between the CO 2 -absorbing unit 13A and the main water rinsing unit 13C. A portion 20a of the rinsing water 20 containing the CO 2 -absorbent that is circulated in the main water rinsing unit 13C is withdrawn and is subjected to preliminary water rinsing in the preliminary water rinsing unit 13B. The preliminary rinsing water is allowed to meet with a CO 2 -absorbent 12 while allowing the rinsing water to directly flow down on the CO 2 -absorbing unit 13A side.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to reduction of corrosion. The present invention includes a method of decreasing corrosion during ammonia extraction. The method includes performing a process to extract ammonia using ammonia extraction equipment. The ammonia extraction equipment includes an ammonia absorber, an ammonia desorber, and an aqueous solution. The aqueous solution includes an acid or an ammonium salt thereof. The method also includes sparging an oxygen-containing gas into the solution in the ammonia absorber, the ammonia desorber, or therebetween. The invention also provides a system that can perform the method.
Abstract:
An improved method for the removal of non-targeted components from a non-targeted component containing gas stream, the method comprising the steps of: v) contacting the non-targeted component containing gas stream with a liquid solvent stream; vi) passing the product of step i) through a phase separation step to produce both a non-targeted component containing solvent stream and a partially purified gas stream; vii) passing the partially purified gas stream product of step ii) through a mass transfer step to produce a wet gas product; and viii) passing the wet gas product of step iii) through a final phase separation step to produce a purified gas stream.
Abstract:
A CO 2 recovering apparatus includes a CO 2 absorber (16) that brings flue gas containing CO 2 and O 2 into contact with CO 2 absorbing liquid to reduce CO 2 in the flue gas; and a regenerator (18) that reduces CO 2 in CO 2 absorbing liquid (rich solvent) that has absorbed CO 2 in the CO 2 absorber (16) to regenerate the CO 2 absorbing liquid, so that the regenerated CO 2 absorbing liquid (lean solvent) having CO 2 reduced in the regenerator (18) is reused in the CO 2 absorber (16). A lower liquid reservoir (50) is located at the bottom of the CO 2 absorber (16), and an air-bubble gathering member (51) is arranged therein to gather air bubbles included in the absorbing liquid.
