    摘要: The present disclosure relates to processing organic compounds, such as manure or other organic waste, comprising a first containment or mixing chamber, a first anaerobic chamber, and a second anaerobic chamber. A first anaerobic chamber may receive organic compounds from a first containment or mixing chamber, and may provide a fluid stream to a second anaerobic chamber. The second anaerobic chamber may comprise a substrate, such as lava rock, with bacteria growing thereon. Further, biogas generated in one or both of the first anaerobic chamber and the second anaerobic chamber may be purified in a first stage using a water scrubber to remove a majority of the carbon dioxide and other contaminants from the biogas, and in a second stage using a pressure swing adsorption unit to reduce carbon dioxide and other contaminants to pipeline acceptable levels. Further yet, carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide gases generated during the biogas purification process may be injected into a water-containing chamber in the presence of bacteria and oxygen to convert the hydrogen sulfide to elemental sulfur and/or sulfate.

    摘要: A turbocharger for a semi-permeable membrane fluid separation device, the semi permeable membrane configured to separate a fluid stream passing through the fluid separation device, the semi-permeable membrane comprising at least one hollow fibre fluidly connected to a fluid inlet, a retentate outlet and a permeate outlet of the fluid separation device, the turbocharger comprising: a first turbine for harnessing energy from the fluid stream, configured to be driven by said fluid stream; and, a second turbine in fluid communication with the permeate outlet, the second turbine being configured to be driven by the first turbine; wherein the second turbine is configured to operate as a vacuum pump such that, in use, the second turbine draws permeate from the permeate outlet, thereby lowering the pressure of the fluid that surrounds the at least one hollow fibre, thus increasing the pressure differential between the inside and the outside of the at least one hollow fibre. A turbocharger for a pressure swing absorption fluid separation device, the pressure swing absorber configured to separate a fluid stream through the fluid separation device, the turbocharger comprising: a first turbine for harnessing energy from the fluid stream, configured to be driven by said fluid stream; and, a second turbine in fluid communication with a permeate outlet, the second turbine being configured to be driven by the first turbine; wherein the second turbine is configured to operate as a vacuum pump such that, in use, the second turbine draws permeate from the permeate outlet of the fluid separation device, thereby lowering the pressure within a chamber of the fluid separation device. A method of turbocharging a semi-permeable gas separation device, comprising the steps of: fluidly connecting a first turbine to a fluid flow of the gas separation device; fluidly connecting a second turbine to a permeate outlet of the gas separation device; whereby, in use, said second turbine draws permeate from the permeate outlet of the gas separation device, thereby altering the pressure differential across the gas separation device.
