Systems and methods for gas disposal
A method for controlling the saturation level of gas in a liquid discharge includes obtaining temperature and pressure measurements of a solvent in a mixing vessel and obtaining a pressure measurement of a source feedstock in a feedstock tank, correlating the temperature and pressure measurements of the solvent to baseline data to generate a theoretical uptake rate for the source feedstock into the solvent and a theoretical flow rate of the source feedstock into the mixing vessel, and determining a required opening setting for a feedstock valve in the feedstock input line in order to achieve a desired liquid displacement in the mixing vessel. The method includes determining an uptake duration and achieving an uptake displacement equivalent to the reverse of the desired liquid displacement. The method includes generating a valve operating control law for how the feedstock valve should function in a cycle.

Vortex generating apparatus for use with marine exhaust systems for improved exhaust cooling
A vortex generating exhaust component is installed in-line within a marine exhaust system downstream of the water can whereby a mixture of hot exhaust gas and entrained cooling water flows there through and vortex flow is enhanced by the component to increase cooling of exhaust gas by increasing the mixing of hot exhaust gas with entrained cooling water thereby resulting in enhanced exhaust gas cooling.
Water separator for marine exhaust system
A water separator for use in a marine exhaust system comprises a horizontally disposed, generally cylindrical housing including a wet exhaust inlet, a dry exhaust outlet, and a water outlet. Wet exhaust entering the wet exhaust inlet is constrained against the inner housing wall by a variable geometry vane or baffle which causes the wet exhaust to accelerate such that centrifugal force causes the entrained water to separate from the exhaust gas. Separated water encounters a longitudinally disposed barrier and flows to the water outlet for discharge from the vessel. A tubular dry exhaust pipe is longitudinally disposed within the housing and includes an inlet disposed in proximity to a first end thereof, and an outlet projecting from a second end thereof.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GAS DISPOSAL
A discharge system includes a mixing vessel and a feedstock input in fluid communication with the mixing vessel. A solvent input is in fluid communication with the mixing vessel. A discharge output is in fluid communication with an outlet of the mixing vessel to discharge effluent. A method for generating turbulence on a liquid surface within a discharge system includes supplying a mixing vessel with feedstock fluid and solvent fluid to generate a liquid mixture and a gas pocket in the mixing vessel. The method includes supplying an impinging solvent fluid through a nozzle extending from a first end of the mixing vessel to generate a roiling surface at an interface between the gas pocket and the liquid mixture and permit uptake of gas from the gas pocket into the liquid mixture.
