A simultaneous reaction system and method for organic material pyrolysis and combustion. The system comprises a time sharing reactor for pyrolysis and combustion, a feeder, a recovery apparatus for pyrolysis volatility products and a flue gas purifier. The whole process mainly consists of two time sharing stages of pyrolysis and combustion. The system has the advantages of cascade utilization of energy, short time of pyrolysis reaction and high efficiency of heat transfer.

A membrane method processing system and process for a high-concentration salt-containing organic waste liquid incineration exhaust gas is described. The system consists essentially of a waste liquid incinerator (I), a gas-solid separator (II), a heat exchanger (III), an air blower (IV), an anti-caking agent storage tank (V), a membrane method dust cleaner (VI), an induced draft fan (VII), a check valve (VIII), and a desulfurization tower (IX). The present invention introduces the dust collecting membrane into the tail gas treatment system and utilizes the small pore size and high porosity of the dust collecting membrane to prevent inorganic salt particles from entering the internal of the filter material and agglomerating there. When the humidity of the gas entering the dust collector increases during the dust removing process, the anti-caking agent is also introduced into the tail gas treatment system to change the surface structure of the inorganic salt crystal to prevent the crystal from agglomeration.

A method of operating an incinerator (100) for solid fuel, said incinerator (100) comprising a device (160) for separating ash from flue gas, which method comprises the step of collecting ash deposits originating from the flue gas comprising ash from the incinerator (100) resulting in collected ash; To improve the flowability of the ash collected, the method comprises the step of introducing a powdery additive material comprising i) clay and ii) calcium carbonate into the flue gas comprising ash wherein the flue gas comprising ash has at the location where the additive material is introduced a temperature of at least 700° C., wherein the additive is introduced with a rate R of at least 0.1 times the mass of ash in the stream of flue gas comprising ash.

Thermal treatment techniques for recycling are generally very clean but their byproducts include a fine ash that may become entrained in the exhaust air plume as smoke. We therefore disclose a materials recycling apparatus comprising a heat treatment chamber for processing the material at an elevated temperature, the chamber having a vent leading via a heat exchanger to a scrubber comprising a disrupted flow path, at least one spray nozzle directed towards the disrupted flow path, and a supply of liquid (ideally water with a little detergent) to the or each spray nozzle. In this way, the entrained ash can be efficiently removed from the air flow, allowing it to be vented, and the captured ash disposed of via a waste water outlet together with the ash washed from the chamber. The flow path can be disrupted by at least one baffle plate, ideally with the spray nozzle located ahead of the baffle plate(s).

A semiconductor manufacturing apparatus in this embodiment includes a reactor, a pump, an exhaust pipe and a mesh member. The reactor houses a semiconductor substrate to treat the semiconductor substrate. The pump exhausts a gas inside the reactor. The exhaust pipe connects between the reactor and the pump. The mesh member is located at a flow inlet of the pump for the gas or in the exhaust pipe and has a main plane having a plurality of meshes arranged thereon. The mesh member has a protrusion and/or protruding shape projecting upstream of the gas.

A method for improving effectiveness of a steam generator system includes providing air to an air preheater at a mass flow such that the air preheater has a cold end outlet temperature defined by the improved air preheater operating with increased heat recovery (HR) of at least 1% calculated according to the equation: HR=100%((TgiTgoAdvX)/(TgiTgoSTD)1). The method requires either reducing the amount of heat that flows into the air preheater from the flue gas and/or increasing the amount of heat extracted from the flue gas. The method includes mitigating SO.sub.3 in the flue gas which is discharged directly from the air preheater to a particulate removal system and then directly into a flue gas desulfurization system. The method includes extracting heat from the Flue gas to create equipment preheat and/or flue gas stack reheat air with the latter being fed to heat the flue gas prior to entering a discharge stack to raise the temperature of the flue gas to mitigate visible plume exiting and to mitigate corrosion in, the discharge stack.

The present disclosure is directed to the use of elemental or speciated iodine and bromine to control total mercury emissions.

A smoke removal device, which can burn the particulates in the smoke efficiently, includes a tube body and a combustion unit. The combustion unit is provided in the tube body and includes a main body, a gas pipeline, and a lighter. The main body is located at a first end of the tube body. A smoke passage is formed between a periphery of the main body and an inner wall of the tube body, and the smoke enters the smoke removal device through the smoke passage. The main body has a central passage therethrough, where a fuel gas is ignited. The fuel gas is guided to the central passage through the gas pipeline and then ignited by the lighter to burn the smoke particulates passing through the smoke passage.
