A complex malodor removing equipment includes: a neutralizing module which dissolves a portion of malodor-causing substances, in malodorous gas introduced from malodor-producing equipment, in liquid water and removes same, which includes an acidity neutralizing module that introduces an alkaline substance from outside and removes an acidic malodor-causing substance from the malodor-causing substances, and an alkaline neutralizing module that introduces an acidic substance from outside and removes an alkaline malodor-causing substance from the malodor-causing substances, and which connects the acidity neutralizing module and the alkaline neutralizing module; and a balancing module which dissolves the remainder of the malodor-causing substances, in the malodorous gas introduced from the neutralizing module, in water and removes same, which includes an oxidation balancing module that introduces an oxidizing agent from outside and balances the malodor-causing substances, and a reduction balancing module that introduces a reducing agent from outside and balances the malodor-causing substances.

A semiconductor waste abatement system for a semiconductor processing system includes a vacuum pump, an abatement apparatus having an abatement chamber in fluid communication with a source of semiconductor waste gas from the semiconductor processing chamber, and with the abatement chamber configured to ionize the waste gas and to exhaust ionized gas. The abatement system further includes a filter apparatus with a filter chamber, which forms a liquid reservoir. The inlet of the filter apparatus is in fluid communication with the outlet of the abatement chamber and the liquid reservoir, and the outlet of the filter apparatus is in communication with the inlet of the vacuum pump, wherein the filter chamber is under a vacuum, and wherein semiconductor waste gas is ionized in the abatement chamber and then filtered by the filter apparatus prior to input to the vacuum pump.

The present invention relates to an apparatus for reducing greenhouse gas emission in a vessel cooperated with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), and a vessel including the same, in which NO.sub.X generation is reduced, which is the original purpose of EGR, while maintaining existing EGR, SO.sub.X as well as CO.sub.2, which is the representative greenhouse gas, are absorbed and converted into materials that do not affect environments, and the materials are discharged or stored as useful materials, thereby preventing corrosion of an engine and improving combustion efficiency.

A system for treating a fluid used for cleaning exhaust gas from pollutants including particulate matter comprises a circulation tank for accommodating the fluid, the circulation tank comprising an outlet for bleeding off part of the fluid. A first device is provided for adding a first chemical to the part of the fluid, wherein the first chemical comprises a coagulant. A separation device receives a mixture comprising the part of the fluid and the first chemical, and separates the mixture into a first fraction and a second fraction, which first fraction contains more particulate matter than the second fraction. A flocculation arrangement comprising a first flocculator device is arranged between the separation device and the first device to retain the part of the fluid and the first chemical to promote agglomeration of particulate matter comprised in the part of the fluid before the mixture is received by the separation device.

An air breathing filtering system includes a housing having an air input and an air output, a first filtering stage that filters out particles from a first air stream to generate a second air stream, and a second filtering stage that filters out germs from the second air stream to generate a third air stream, wherein the second filtering stage uses a different filtering process than the first filtering stage. The first air stream is received at the air input and the third air stream is discharged outside the housing at the air output. The second filtering stage uses a liquid to disable the germs from the second air stream.
