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.

The present teachings include a fibrous structure including one or more nonwoven layers comprising a fibrous web layer and one or more functional insert layers for providing additional properties to the material. The one or more of the nonwoven layers and one or more functional insert layers may be lapped together to form a vertically lapped structure. The present teachings also include a method of forming the fibrous structure.

An exhaust gas treatment system for an internal combustion engine includes an exhaust gas pathway configured to receive exhaust from the engine, a diesel particulate filter (DPF) element positioned in the exhaust gas pathway to capture particulate matter from the exhaust, and a regenerator operable to increase a temperature of the exhaust that passes through the DPF element. The system also includes a controller configured to selectively operate the exhaust gas treatment system in a first mode in which the regenerator is inactive such that a temperature of the exhaust is within a first range, a second mode in which the regenerator is activated to increase the temperature of the exhaust to a first target temperature beyond the first range, and a third mode in which the regenerator is activated to increase the temperature of the exhaust to a second target temperature greater than the first temperature.

Process for cleaning an off-gas containing sulphur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter employing SOx adsorption and ammonia-SCR in one filtration unit, in particular a filter bag house with one or more catalysed fabric filter assemblies.

Process water supply unit for supplying a medical treatment unit with process water (BW), containing biocide, comprising: a container receptacle for receiving a pressurised water container; a compressed air inlet for connecting the process water supply unit to a compressed-air source; a compressed-air connection, via which compressed air (DL) originating from the compressed-air inlet can be introduced into the pressurised water container; and a process water connection, via which the process water (BW) which is to be delivered out from the pressurised water container by the compressed air (DL) introduced into the pressurised water container can be dispensed to the medical treatment unit, wherein the process water supply unit has a sterile air filter which is integrated into a compressed-air path between the compressed-air inlet and the compressed-air connection or into a compressed-air path between the external compressed-air source and the compressed-air connection.

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).

The present invention relates to a breathing air charger for detecting a tank state, capable of providing air properly adjusted in the concentration of oxygen and nitrogen to a breathing air tank used by a firefighter or a scuba diver, and of effectively discharging air from the breathing air tank.

An ionization device may be configured to be portable, and to rest on a surface such as a floor or desk top. The ionization device includes an air-intake port, an ion generator, an ozone catalyst for removing at least some ozone from air, and an air discharge. Air enters the device through the air-intake port, and at least some of the air is ionized to remove particulates. The air is then moved past or through the ozone catalyst to remove at least some of the ozone from the air. A controller may be used to monitor particulates, temperature, humidity, and/or other relevant factors and/or to adjust the ionization level.

A filter bag is disclosed that comprises a porous membrane having a strength in the transverse direction to improve durability. There is a filter assembly for filtering particulates from a gas stream comprising a support substructure and a filter bag at least partially surrounding the support substructure. The filter bag comprises a porous membrane having a upstream surface exposed to the gas stream. The porous membrane is lightweight and has a structure to collect the particulates on the upstream surface. In particular, the porous membrane has a bubble point of 0.06 MPa or more and has a strength in a transverse direction that is 100 N/m or more. Other filter bags disclosed comprise a laminate comprising a porous membrane having a bubble point of 0.06 MPa or more and a second layer that acts as a sacrificial material.

A powder sieving system that is configured as part of a powder reclamation system is provided. The powder sieving system includes a support structure; and a filter housing movable relative to the support structure, the filter housing defining an inlet and an outlet and comprising a broad frequency filter disposed between the inlet and the outlet, the broad frequency filter including: a first filter fixed relative to the filter housing, the first filter being substantially rigid; and a second filter coupled within the filter housing adjacent to the first filter, the second filter being substantially flexible such that the second filter is movable relative to the first filter within the filter housing when the filter housing moves relative to the support structure, the first filter and the second filter configured to restrict a first portion of a powder larger than a predetermined threshold from reaching the outlet.
