Abstract:
Methods and systems for de-stabilizing foam produced in submerged combustion melters. A molten mass of glass and bubbles is flowed into an apparatus downstream of a submerged combustion melter. The downstream apparatus includes a floor, a roof and a wall connecting the floor and roof, but is devoid of submerged combustion burners and other components that would increase turbulence of the molten mass. The molten mass has foam on at least a portion of a top surface of the molten mass. Certain methods include imposing a de-stabilizing force directly to the foam or to the molten mass and foam, where the de-stabilizing force may be a vibratory force, an acoustic wave force, a particulate-based force, or a non-particulate-based mechanical force. Systems for carrying out the methods are described.
Abstract:
The invention concerns the field of transformation of material and relates to a device for producing a plasma, an method for ionising material using said device, uses of the inventive method and production processes using said device. Said device is characterised in that it comprises a resonant chamber (1), an acoustic chamber (5) provided with an acoustic device (7) and a soliton chamber (8) for receiving the treated material coming from the resonant chamber (1) while simultaneously generating a recycling of outside air, said soliton chamber (8) defining, with a pulsating suction member (10) adjacent to the output of said soliton chamber (8), a space (11) producing ionised material.
Abstract:
A thermodynamic system that produces mechanical, electrical power, and/or fluid streams for heating or cooling. The cycle contains a combustion system that produces an energetic fluid by combustion of a fuel with an oxidant. A thermal diluent may be used in the cycle to improve performance, including but not limited to power, efficiency, economics, emissions, dynamic and off-peak load performance, and/or turbine inlet temperature (TIT) regulation and cooling heated components. The cycle preferably includes a heat recovery system and a condenser or other means to recover and recycle heat and the thermal diluent from the energetic fluid to improve the cycle thermodynamic efficiency and reduce energy conversion costs. The cycle may also include controls for temperatures, pressures, and flow rates throughout the cycle, and controls power output, efficiency, and energetic fluid composition.

Abstract:
The invention concerns equipment and a method for enhancing the combustion event and heat transfer in a heating boiler. According to the invention, the space above the major combustion zone in the combustion space (11) of the heating boiler (10) is equipped with sound sources (S), which are used to generate an acoustic field to enhance the combustion event and to achieve more complete combustion.
Abstract:
A method of recovering energy and chemicals from a spent liquor which, after thickening to a dry content of 50-90 %, is fed into a reaction chamber (1) in which a plurality of temperature zones are maintained, said method comprising the steps of (a) converting the liquid phase in the spent liquor to a steam phase, (b) thermally decomposing the spent liquor to form gaseous organic substances and solid and/or molten organic and inorganic substances, (c) reducing and (d) oxidizing said substances produced during the thermal decomposition, oxygen or oxygen-containing gas being supplied to the reaction chamber (1) in a controlled amount in order to maintain the reactions, which comprise combustion of organic substances, and a bed of said solid and/or molten substances being formed in a lower temperature zone in the reaction chamber (1). According to the invention said steps are carried out during exposure to low frequency sound.
