A remedial pollution control system for treating volatile organic compounds that may include a vapor concentrator connected to a line that is laden with volatile organic compounds, the concentrator has an organic condensate output line and a vapor output line; a mixing chamber adapted to receive air provided from an air supply line, combustible fuel from an alternate fuel supply line, and a vapor stream from the vapor output line to produce a mixed fuel supplied to an internal combustion engine, a control mixing system with a controller for producing a proper air to fuel ratio in the mixed fuel supply, and power generated to operate other devices used to more efficiently abate volatile organic compounds and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Methods are provide for dispensing a product to a user, the product releasably incorporated within a carrier. In one embodiment, the method comprises the step of providing a first user comprising at least one storage vessel for receiving and storing fresh and at least one vessel for receiving and storing spent. The method further includes the steps of: collecting spent from a storage vessel of the first user; detecting a chemical or physical property of the collected spent; and comparing the detected chemical or physical property of the collected spent with a predetermined criteria. In a second embodiment, the method comprises the step of providing the first user, and further includes the steps of: determining an estimated amount of product to be transferred to the first user; optionally, collecting and validating information concerning the purchaser; transferring fresh to the storage vessel of the first user; collecting measurement data concerning fresh transferred from the first user; removing spent from a storage vessel of the first user; collecting measurement data concerning spent collected from the first user; optionally, calculating the net amount of product transferred; and determining whether the transfer of fresh and removal of spent has been performed on a substantially equal exchange basis. In a third embodiment, the method comprises providing a first user and a seller, the seller transferring fresh to the first user, collecting measurement data, and assigning a monetary price to be charged to the user.

The invention relates to an apparatus for treating waste material including organic components and radioactive agents. In the apparatus the waste material including organic components and radioactive agents are gasified at temperature between 600-950° C. in a fluidized bed reactor to form a gaseous material. The gaseous material is than cooled in a water quenching device so that temperature is between 300-500° C. after the cooling. The solid fraction including radioactive agents is removed from the gaseous material in a in at least one filtration device. A gas scrubbing device then removes sulphur by scrubbing the treated gaseous material after the filtration in order to form a treated gaseous material.

The invention relates to an industrial production plant (1), which comprises a first production plant (2), which produces a CO.sub.2-poor and H.sub.2-rich exhaust gas from a carbon-containing feed material and which has an associated first exhaust-gas cleaning device (3) and an associated second exhaust-gas cleaning device (14). The problem addressed by the invention is that of creating a solution by means of which a carbon capture and utilization method can be effectively and efficiently performed. This problem is solved in that the industrial production plant (1) also comprises a gas-processing plant (4), which divides the exhaust gas into a carbon-containing, at least substantially H.sub.2-free partial gas flow (6) and a carbon-free, H.sub.2-rich partial gas flow (7); comprises an apparatus (19) for producing a CO.sub.2-rich gas flow, to which apparatus at least a part of a CO.sub.2-containing exhaust-gas flow (17) arising in a firing apparatus (11) can be fed after flowing through the second exhaust-gas cleaning device (14); and comprises a water electrolysis plant (24), which produces hydrogen (H.sub.2) and oxygen (02), and a second production plant (20), which produces methanol and/or secondary methanol products and which has a CO.sub.2 line connection (21) to the apparatus (19) on one side and an H.sub.2 line connection (23) to the gas-processing plant (4) and the water electrolysis plant (24) on the other side.
