Degassing device for systems for treatment of food products such as leaf vegetables, tuberous, fruit of meet, cheeses or sausages, and like, characterized in that it includes—a degassing conduct for a food product treatment fluid, the degassing conduct having, in sequence along its development trajectory, an inclined inlet tract, within which the flow fluid rises, a degassing tract, and an outlet tract, within which the flow is directed downward; and—a degassing chamber, in correspondence of the degassing tract; the degassing tract having, at least on its upper wall, a plurality of holes suitable to communicate said degassing tract with the degassing tract to permit exit of air bubbles trapped within the flow from said degassing chamber, preventing exit of food products.

A new device and method for separating all phases of a three-phase fluid of the crude oil type, by means of a two-phase fluid separating device provided with a “T” joint for splitting the feed flow. The invention allows the conversion of two-phase separator into a three-phase fluid separating device, updating its functionality, increasing service life, using most of the original parts and components.

A system for deaeration of a liquid comprises a heater for heating the liquid to a well-defined temperature, means for pressurizing the liquid, a first piping for guiding the heated liquid to a separation vessel, a vacuum pump for evacuating deaerated gases from the separation vessel, and a second piping for guiding the deaerated liquid from the separation vessel. The system further comprises an inert-gas supply and a mixer for supplying and mixing in inert gas into the liquid in the first piping. The vacuum pump is controllable to maintain a separation pressure in the separation vessel corresponding to a pressure at or slightly above the saturation pressure.

A method and system are disclosed for safe, efficient, economically productive, environmentally responsible, extraction and utilization of dissolved gases in deep waters of a rare type of “exploding” lake, where methane (CH.sub.4) is accompanied by abundant CO.sub.2. CH.sub.4 is combusted to generate electricity. CO.sub.2 usually is considered a contaminant requiring removal to avoid power loss. Cleaning high CO.sub.2 levels from CH.sub.4, however, is costly and causes CH.sub.4 loss. Venting CO.sub.2 is environmentally undesirable. Or, if CO.sub.2 is disposed in water flow returned to the deep lake, danger persists. CO.sub.2 and CH.sub.4 are degassed efficiently together and input into oxy-fuel combustion. Three process outputs are: degassed nutrients-rich water flow, power and CO.sub.2+H.sub.2O exhaust, all usable for industrially productive purposes. Extracting and using both gases together in an integrated method advances safety, economic productivity and environmental stewardship. Previously, it has not been possible to accomplish these ends together. The invention provides a hyper-efficient way.

An in-line dissolved gas removal membrane-based apparatus for removing dissolved hydrogen and fission gases from the letdown stream from a reactor coolant system.

A system for separating a flow of matter is shown and described. The system includes one or more flow separation devices, one or more surgical instruments, and one or more suction sources. In some embodiments, the flow of matter comprises biological material. In some embodiments, the flow of matter comprises surgical waste.

A fluid recovery system includes a separator configured to separate a hydrocarbon stream into L-Grade, water, and natural gas. The system further includes a storage vessel in communication with the separator and configured to store the L-Grade separated from the hydrocarbon stream. The system further includes a compressor in communication with the separator and configured to pressurize the natural gas.

This gas-liquid separator is provided with: a tank part which stores and separates a refrigerant; and a pipe connection part forming outlet/inlet ports for the refrigerant from the tank part. The pipe connection part has: a first connection part having a first connection pipe which guides the refrigerant to an expansion valve; a second connection part having a second connection pipe through which the cooled refrigerant returns; a third connection part having a third connection pipe which guides the refrigerant to a compressor; a fourth connection part having a fourth connection pipe which guides the refrigerant into the tank part from an outdoor heat exchanger; and a first flow path switching valve which allows the inside of the tank part to communicate with the third connection pipe during heating operations, and allows the second connection pipe to communicate with the third connection pipe during cooling operations.

In a method for deaerating a liquid the liquid is pressurized to a pressure above atmospheric, after which it is guided to an upstream end of a nucleation valve. A low pressure resides on the downstream end of the nucleation valve and as the liquid passes the valve, bubble nucleation is initiated, forming the first step in a deaeration process. According to the method the temperature and pressure on the downstream side of the valve is controlled such that the static pressure is above the saturation pressure, while the lowest pressure as the liquid passes the valve is below or equal to the saturation pressure.
