An oxygenator has a plurality of porous hollow fiber membranes comprising polypropylene for gas exchange, wherein each hollow fiber membrane has an inner surface that forms a lumen and an outer surface. The oxygenator is manufactured using a method which involves preparing a coating solution containing at least one compound selected from the group consisting of dopamine, salt of dopamine, and oligomer of dopamine; and bringing the inner surface or the outer surface of the hollow fiber membranes into contact with the coating solution for less than ten hours while blowing oxygen gas in the coating solution to form a dopamine polymer layer containing a polymer of the compound on the inner surface or the outer surface.

In view of above problems, an object of the invention is to provide a primary containment vessel venting system having a structure capable of continuously discharging vapor in a primary containment vessel out of the system and continuously reducing pressure of the primary containment vessel without discharging radioactive noble gases to the outside of the containment vessel and without using an enclosing vessel or a power source. In order to achieve the above object, an nuclear power plant of the invention includes a primary containment vessel which includes a reactor pressure vessel, a radioactive substance separation apparatus which is disposed inside the primary containment vessel and through which the radioactive noble gases do not permeate but vapor permeates, a vent pipe which is connected to the radioactive substance separation apparatus, and an exhaust tower which is connected to the vent pipe and discharges a gas, from which a radioactive substance is removed, to the outside.

A medical device is configured to be attached to a part of a circulation circuit of an extracorporeal circulation device and to be inserted with an insertion member for performing a test related to blood clotting, and includes a storage portion configured to store a blood, and a main body portion configured to drop the blood stored in the storage portion onto the insertion member. The stored blood is used as samples for testing and monitoring of blood conditions (e.g., clotting) during extracorporeal circulation.

Proposed are a fuel cell membrane humidifier and a fuel cell system having the same in which humidification by moisture exchange and cooling by heat exchange are performed in one membrane humidifier such that the fuel cell system can be simplified and be miniaturized. The fuel cell membrane humidifier includes a housing part having a space divided by a partition, a humidification module formed in a first portion of the divided space and having a plurality of hollow fiber membranes allowing a first fluid flowing thereinside to perform moisture exchange with a second fluid flowing thereoutside, a heat exchange module formed in a second portion of the divided space and configured to cool a first fluid flowing inside the heat exchange module, and a flow control part configured to actively control a flow direction of the first fluid.

A natural gas processing system is mounted on a mobile platform that is transported to a natural gas source, such as a well. The system supplies retentate gas to operate multi-fuel engines for wellfield equipment such as pumps, compressors, and drills. A liquid drain discharges contaminants. A separator, first and second coalescing filters, and a particulate filter remove particulate matter and fluid contaminant matter from the natural gas. A dryer removes water vapor from the natural gas. Dual membranes separate the natural gas into a retentate gas and a permeate gas. A first heat exchanger adjusts temperature of the natural gas entering the membranes. A second heat exchanger adjusts temperature of the retentate gas output. A thermoelectric generator powered by the natural gas supplies process electricity. A process control monitors and controls the natural gas processing system, including pressure control valves, temperature control valves, and emergency shutdown systems. An instrument gas supply with an accumulator supplies gas pressure to operate pneumatic valves and instruments.
