A submicron filter assembly (24) is added to an exhaust gas controlled destruction and oxidation unit (10). Controlled destruction and oxidation unit (10) treats exhaust gas from at least one semiconductor wafer fabricating reactor. The submicron filter (24) filters submicron particles out of the treated exhaust gas to prevent visible plumes from forming in wafer fab exhaust systems (stacks). The controlled destruction and oxidation unit (10) and submicron filter assembly (24) are ideally suited for use at the point of generation of the exhaust gases. In one embodiment of the invention, the submicron filter assembly comprises an electrostatic filter (26). The electrostatic filter (26) includes a positively charged first grid (28) and a grounded second grid (30). The second grid may include a mist screen for removing particulate build-up. In another embodiment of the invention, the submicron filter assembly (36) comprises a mist eliminator (38) and a HEPA filter (40).

A filter capable of being used in subterranean environments includes a filter medium. An erosion barrier is disposed along a common flow path with the filter medium for preventing erosion by particles in a fluid being filtered.
摘要:
A filter segment disc of a segment filter comprises a support and drainage plate with slots radiating from the filter hub toward the filter edge. The slots are preferably of arcuate plan form and configured to provide a substantially uniform fluid flow over the filtering medium of the filter segment, reduce residence time of filtrate in the filter, eliminate dead spots in the flow, and facilitate cleaning of permanent filters. A filter support spacer may be provided adjacent the filtering surface to aid in support and positive spacing of the disc in a filter stack of which the disc may be an element.

摘要:
An improved process for the liquefaction of solid carbonaceous materials wherein a solvent or diluent derived from the solid carbonaceous material being liquefied is used to form a slurry of the solid carbonaceous material and wherein the solvent or diluent comprises from about 65 to about 85 wt. % hydroaromatic components. The solvent is prepared by first separating a solvent or diluent distillate fraction from the liquefaction product, subjecting this distillate fraction to hydrogenation and then extracting the naphthenic components from the hydrogenated product. The extracted naphthenic components are then dehydrogenated and hydrotreated to produce additional hydroaromatic components. These components are combined with the solvent or diluent distillate fraction. The solvent may also contain hydroaromatic constituents prepared by extracting naphthenic components from a heavy naphtha, dehydrogenating the same and then hydrotreating the dehydrogenated product. When the amount of solvent produced in this manner exceeds that required for steady state operation of the liquefaction process a portion of the solvent or diluent distillated fraction will be withdrawn as product.

A cartridge library (30) comprises a library frame; at least one drive (60); a cartridge magazine (52); a transport mechanism (54) configured to transport the cartridge between the magazine and the drive; and an entry/exit port. The cartridge magazine comprises at least one cell configured to accommodate a cartridge of information storage media. The entry/exit port (200) is configured to permit selective passage of the cartridge between an exterior of the frame and the at least one cell, the passage being through an aperture provided in the frame. The entry exit port (200) comprises an entry/exit port handle (210) and a cartridge caddy (220). The entry/exit port handle (210) is configured both for selective closure of the aperture and selective translation with respect to the frame for opening the aperture. The cartridge caddy (220), to which the handle (210) is attached, is configured to carry the cartridge out of the at least one cell and through the aperture upon translation of the handle (210).
摘要:
A filter may comprise a plurality of pleats, at least one pleat including a pair of pleat legs and pleat tip region. In some embodiments, a thickness of pleat tip region at a point spaced about one to four pleat leg thicknesses from the end of the pleat tip region may be less than or equal to about twice the pleat leg thickness or may be less than or equal to a distance between corresponding points on opposing outer surfaces of the pleat legs. A filter may comprise a pleated structure having a plurality of pleats. In some embodiments, the pleated structure may have more than one layer and at least one of the pleats may have a reformed pleat tip region. In other embodiments, the pleated structure may have a pair of pleat legs and at least one of the pleats may have a reformed pleat tip region and contacting pleat legs. A filter may comprise a plurality of pleats, at least one pleat including a pleat tip region having contacting inner surfaces. A method of making a filter may comprise forming a plurality of pleats having pleat tip regions and applying pressure to opposing outer surfaces of at least one pleat tip region. A method of making a filter may also comprise forming a plurality of pleats free of bulbous pleat tip regions. A method of making a filter may comprise forming a plurality of pleats wherein a thickness of each pleat tip region at a point spaced about one to about four pleat leg thicknesses from the end of the pleat tip region is less than or equal to about twice the pleat leg thickness or is less than or equal to a distance between corresponding points on opposing outer surfaces of the pleat legs. An apparatus may comprise one or more dies arranged to reform a pleat tip region of a pleat.
摘要:
Cartridges (64) are loaded into or retrieved from an automated media library (20) either singly through an entry/exit port module (54), or by opening a library door (30) and inserting/removing a cartridge magazine (52) from a magazine cavity (50) of the library. Structures are provided for precluding against overinsertion of a cartridge. An entry/exit port cartridge overinsertion protection assembly (450) is provided to prevent overinsertion of a media cartridge loaded into the entry/exit port module. The entry/exit port cartridge overinsertion protection assembly includes a cartridge restraint member (452) which is pivoted away from a cartridge restraint position by a cartridge transport device (92) when the transport device seeks to obtain or deposit a cartridge at the entry/exit port. A cartridge restraint assembly (300) is also provided to guard against overinsertion of a cartridge stored in a cartridge magazine. The cartridge restraint assembly which guards against overinsertion of a cartridge stored in a cartridge magazine is responsive to movement of a library door. Upon movement of the door from a door closed position to a door open position, the cartridge restraint assembly responsively moves into a cartridge restraint position to prevent over positioning of a cartridge situated in the cartridge magazine.
