System and Components for Evaluating the Performance of Fire Safety Protection Devices

A fire safety protection evaluation system includes at least one horizontal collection device and at least one vertical collection device. The at least one horizontal collection device includes a liquid collection pan with a substantially horizontal opening, a first storage container in communication with the liquid collection pan, and a first measuring device to measure an amount of liquid in the first storage container and/or a rate of liquid entering the first storage container. The at least one vertical collection device includes a substantially vertical liquid collection surface extending between a top edge and a bottom edge, a trough located along the bottom edge to collect liquid from the substantially vertical collection surface, and a second measuring device to measure an amount of liquid and/or a rate of liquid collected by the trough.

METHOD AND IMPROVED FURNANCE FOR REDUCING EMISSIONS OF NITROGEN OXIDES

A method and improved furnace for reducing nitrogen oxide emissions from a furnace having a plurality of primary fuel injectors and a plurality of spaced apart over-fire air injectors positioned above the primary fuel injectors are disclosed. Injection of over-fire air produces zones of cooler combustion gasses containing over-fire air that separate zones of hot combustion gasses containing nitrogen oxides. Reburn fuel injectors inject a reburn fuel into the zones of hot combustion making the effluent combustion gases containing nitrogen oxides partially or totally fuel-rich in order to further reduce nitric oxide.

Burner shield to reduce soot buildup

A soot deposition burner assembly, having at least one burner including a burner face on a first surface of a burner support. The burner produces a flame which extends generally perpendicularly to the first surface. A burner shield includes a first wall extending generally perpendicularly from the first surface surrounding the burner face. The burner shield has a base end with a first surface area facing toward the first surface and a shield face with a second surface area facing away from the first surface. To reduce the buildup of soot material, the second surface area is smaller than the first surface area, and the wall thickness is less at the shield face than the base end. Additionally, air can be directed along an exterior surface of the first wall from the base end toward the shield face to further reduce soot buildup.

A reactor system includes a pressure vessel having a vessel wall, a feed port at a superior end of the pressure vessel, a permeable liner disposed within the pressure vessel and at least one hydrothermal jet mounted to the pressure vessel. The feed port is configured for feeding a liquid target reactant stream into the pressure vessel. The permeable liner separates the pressure vessel into an internal reaction zone and an outer annular chamber. The hydrothermal jet is mounted external to the reaction zone and is configured to add heated mixture of carrier and oxidizer to the internal reaction zone. A dividing wall portions the outer annular chamber into a cooling zone and an exhaust zone through which by-products of the reaction exit from the reaction zone.
