Systems and methods for converting BHEEU to DGA are provided. An exemplary system includes an amine unit; a reclaimer configured to receive a lean DGA stream including BHEEU and DGA exiting the amine unit and a reclaimer steam stream to convert at least a portion of the BHEEU to DGA; a sparge line connected a steam source and to the reclaimer configured to introduce sparge steam to restore accumulated DGA at the bottom of the reclaimer; and an output stream comprising DGA.

Described herein are delivery containers, systems and methods using same for providing improvements to precursor utilization in the containers for deposition process, as well as the cleaning and refilling of the containers. The containers are designed with structures which allow a carrier gas to be delivered from a flow distributor. The flow distributor comprises a plurality of small openings (jets) through which the carrier gas enters the precursor chamber and impinges upon the surface of the chemical precursors to produce a vapor.

An outdoor water management system including at least one reservoir configured to receive highly concentrated contaminated water, a weather proof cover, covering the reservoir to define at least one chamber and water vapour removal means, configured to remove evaporated water from the at least one chamber wherein the at least one chamber is configured to further concentrate the contaminated water while providing long-term weatherproof storage thereof.

The present disclosure describes an apparatus that may be used to generate desalinated water from a supply of untreated water using a photovoltaic cell. The front surface of the photovoltaic cell is partially enclosed to form an evaporation chamber. The front surface of the photovoltaic cell is exposed to sunlight or another light source. This exposure results in power generation by the photovoltaic cell and also heats the air in the evaporation chamber. Untreated water is subsequently introduced into the evaporation chamber. Upon contacting the heated air and the front surface of the photovoltaic cell, a portion of the untreated water evaporates to generate water vapor. The water vapor is then removed from the evaporation chamber and transported to a condensation chamber. The water vapor is cooled in the condensation chamber to yield desalinated water.

This disclosure concerns a system and a method for removing dissolved solids from liquids. Specific implementations concern desalinating water. The system may comprise a blower, such as a thermal fan/compressor, configured to atomize a solid-bearing liquid to produce a hot, humid gas containing dissolved solids; a gas-solid separator configured to receive hot, humid gas containing entrained dissolved solids from the blower to separate the solids from the humid gas and to transmit the humid gas with solids removed through an exit port; a heater configured to heat the hot, humid gas received from the exit port of the gas-solid separator; and a condenser configured to receive heated humid gas from the heater and to condense solids-free liquid therefrom. The thermal fan/compressor may comprise a plurality of nozzles with outlets positioned adjacent atomization apertures across which a solid-bearing liquid flows and through which gas exiting the nozzles passes.

A feed liquid flows into a second-stage humidifier chamber to form a second-stage humidifier bath. A first remnant of the feed liquid from the second-stage humidifier chamber then flows into a first-stage humidifier chamber to form a first-stage humidifier bath having a temperature lower than that of the second-stage bath. A second remnant of the feed liquid is then removed from the first-stage humidifier. Meanwhile, a carrier gas is injected into and bubbled through the first-stage humidifier bath, collecting a vaporizable component in vapor form from the first remnant of the feed liquid to partially humidify the carrier gas. The partially humidified carrier gas is then bubbled through the second-stage humidifier bath, where the carrier gas collects more of the vaporizable component in vapor form from the feed liquid to further humidify the carrier gas before the humidified carrier gas is removed from the second-stage humidifier chamber.
