A combined power conversion and carbon capture and recycling subsystem including a fossil fueled oxidation unit, a physical adsorbent CO2 capture medium, rotor, motor, heater, CO2 compressor, diffuser and water storage tank. Exhaust gas from fossil fuel oxidation is scrubbed of CO2 via passage across a physical adsorbent and then released from the adsorbent via fuel oxidation waste heat. High CO2 concentration scrubber exhaust air is then compressed and fed to a diffuser which facilitates dissociation of the CO2 into water where it is temporarily stored for use in watering plants. Carbon from fossil fuel is recycled back into the environment and permanently stored as biomass by natural means of photosynthesis.

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.

A thermal management assembly is provided for both removing heat and absorbing acoustic energy. The thermal management assembly includes a heat sink base component and a plurality of thermally conductive fins disposed in a sparsely-arranged array in thermal communication with the heat sink base component. Each fin defines a two-sided Helmholtz unit cell disposed in a periodic array extending from the heat sink base component. Each unit cell includes a lossy resonator and a lossless resonator. The lossy resonator includes a first chamber portion bounded by at least one first boundary wall defining a first chamber volume, and a first neck forming an opening in the first chamber portion. The lossless resonator includes a second chamber portion bounded by at least one second boundary wall defining a second chamber volume, and a second neck forming an opening in the second chamber portion.

A gas scrubber and a waste gas treatment system with a gas scrubber for removing particles from a waste gas has a housing with a waste gas inlet and a waste gas outlet. A substantially circular plate member defining an axis of rotation is rotatably arranged in the housing. Waste gas fed into the housing via the waste gas inlet is directed toward approximately the center of the circular plate member. An outlet nozzle sprays a liquid, especially a cleaning liquid or a scrubbing liquid, onto the circular plate member, in order to obtain a mixture of waste gas and liquid in front of the plate member. A combination of inner and outer rotor arrays, and inner and outer stator arrays are arranged alternatingly and concentrically relative to each other, and separated from the circular plate member, and rotate about the axis of rotation. A rotary atomizer for atomizing the mixture of waste gas and liquid may be arranged on the circular plate member. Particles from the waste gas stream are transferred into the liquid.

According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, an exhaust gas treatment apparatus may include: a preprocessor configured to primarily remove harmful substances from exhaust gas produced by combustion; and a postprocessor configured to further remove harmful substances from preprocessed gas, which is the exhaust gas from which the harmful substances have been primarily removed by the preprocessor, wherein the postprocessor may include a postprocessor housing having a preprocessed gas inlet through which the preprocessed gas is introduced and a postprocessed gas outlet through which postprocessed gas from which harmful substances have been further removed by the postprocessor is discharged and forming a flow path of the preprocessed gas therein, and a diffuser disposed adjacent to the preprocessed gas inlet and configured to diffuse the preprocessed gas introduced through the preprocessed gas inlet.

Given that power blackouts occur very infrequently, a TRANSportable GENset emissions reduction system (XGEN) that fixes a larger and more significant problem of reducing emissions from routine periodic testing of gensets, whereas the system may be scheduled to be shared by a multitude of gensets, thereby reducing costs through efficient use of capital expenditures while also increasing the quality of emissions reductions as compared to applying individual exhaust treatments each genset.
