The present disclosure generally relates to systems and methods for the combustive abatement of waste gas formed during the manufacture of semiconductor wafers. In particular, the systems described herein are capable of combusting air-polluting perfluorocarbons, including those having high greenhouse gas indexes such as hexafluoroethane (C.sub.2F.sub.6) and tetrafluoromethane (CF.sub.4), as well as particulate-forming silicon dioxide precursors, such as silane (SiH.sub.4) and tetraethoxysilane (Si(OC.sub.2H.sub.5).sub.4, abbreviated TEOS), with greater efficiency and lower energy usage than prior abatement systems. More particularly, and in one preferred embodiment, the present disclosure is directed to a waste gas abatement system that utilizes a combination of non-combustible and combustible gases (or gas mixtures) for thermal combustion, which are directed through multiple permeable interior surfaces of a reaction chamber, efficiently combusting waste gas and preventing undesirable accumulation of solid particulate matter on the chamber surfaces.

Methods and systems are provided for making gasoline. The method includes converting a resid-containing feed to a first fuel gas and a fluid coke in a fluidized bed reactor; gasifying the fluid coke with steam and air to produce a second fuel gas, said second fuel gas comprising a syngas; contacting the first fuel gas with a first conversion catalyst under first effective conversion conditions to form an effluent comprising C.sub.5+ hydrocarbon compounds; and converting the syngas to gasoline boiling range hydrocarbons by converting the syngas to a methanol intermediate product.

A urea water agitation control device has an agitation control portion and a temperature sensor which detects a temperature of a urea water. The agitation control portion operates an agitation portion in a specified period which includes a part of a period in which the urea water temperature detected by the temperature sensor is kept at a eutectic point and the urea water radiates a latent heat of solidification.

For the purification of waste gas containing carbon compounds and nitrogen oxides by means of a regenerative post-combustion system, at least two regenerators (A, B, C) filled with heat accumulator bodies (7a, 7b, 7c) and connected by a combustion chamber (10) are provided, wherein the waste gas is alternately heated in a regenerator (A, B, C), the carbon compounds are oxidised in the combustion chamber (10), and, with the addition of a nitrogen-hydrogen compound, the nitrogen oxides are reduced in the combustion chamber (10) thermally and thus not catalytically. Remaining nitrogen oxides are removed by means of a catalytically active heat accumulator layer (6a, 6b, 6c) and the addition of a further nitrogen-hydrogen compound in the regenerator (A, B, C) from which the clean gas exits.

The present subject matter describes a method and apparatus for operating a delayed coker. The method comprises contacting a vapour produced in a delayed coker-drum with a catalyst maintained in form of a bed, and maintaining a level of said catalyst-bed within pre-defined limits during catalytic-cracking of the vapour. Thereafter, the cracked-vapour is routed to a coker-fractionator column to trigger conversion into one or more hydrocarbon products.
