The invention provides a scrubbing column for cleaning gas streams laden with absorbent residues, for example with methanol, and also with solid particles, for example with fuel dust. The gas scrubbing is effected by means of a random packing disposed in the lower region of the scrubbing column and the gas scrubbing of the gas stream laden solely with absorbent residues but not with solid particles by means of a structured packing disposed in the upper region of the scrubbing column. The use of the scrubbing column according to the invention in the integrated plant system between a gasification plant and a plant for gas scrubbing which is operated by the Rectisol process, for example, offers particular advantages with regard to its industrial employability owing to the possible connections described, which bring synergies for efficient operation of the integrated plant system.

A gas separation unit for the separation of a first gas, carbon dioxide, from a mixture, by using an adsorption/desorption process using a loose particulate sorbent material arranged in at least two stacked layers. The primary heat exchange piping is arranged on the two outer edges of the layer within the cavity extending along a longitudinal direction. Further, an essentially parallel array of secondary heat exchange pipes is provided, the secondary heat exchange pipes extending along a transverse direction. The first diameter of the secondary heat exchange pipes is at least twice as large as the second outer diameter of the secondary heat exchange pipes and the secondary heat exchange pipes are in thermal contact with sheets of metal which extend oscillating between pairwise adjacent secondary heat exchange pipes.

A method for removing solvent from a solvent containing sweep gas stream obtained from a fertilizer coating process is disclosed. The method can include directly contacting the solvent containing sweep gas stream with an aqueous composition comprising 50% wt/wt to 100% wt/wt of water, condensing at least a portion of the solvent out of the solvent containing sweep gas stream into the aqueous composition to produce a solvent-enriched aqueous composition and a recovered sweep gas stream, and removing the recovered sweep gas stream from the solvent-enriched aqueous composition.

The invention relates to a system and method for CO.sub.2 capture. The system includes a fleet of CO.sub.2 producing assets comprising a fleet of assets having at least two individual assets that produce CO.sub.2 containing gas streams, and a set of modular CO.sub.2 capture units to capture the CO.sub.2 from the CO.sub.2 containing gas streams produced by the fleet of assets, wherein at least one of the individual assets is equipped with not less than two modular CO.sub.2 capture units, and at least one of the modular CO.sub.2 capture units is operated at more than one of the assets during the service life of the modular CO.sub.2 capture unit. The method for CO.sub.2 capture includes providing the fleet of assets and equipping them with a set of modular CO.sub.2 capture units. Advantage over current approaches is performance is optimized across a fleet of assets rather than at an individual site.

A system and method for recovering a sterilization agent from waste gaseous mixture, comprising a gas separator to wash waste gas comprising a gaseous mixture of a sterilization agent, insert dilution gases, and water vapor, from plurality sterilization chambers, with water, thereby producing a water-gaseous sterilization agent mixture collected at bottom section of the gas separator, and inert dilution gases exhausted at top section of the gas separator; a pressure reducing valve; a first tank or gas evaporator to produce gaseous sterilization agent and water vapor; a first condenser to produce condensed water vapor and separate the gaseous sterilization agent from the condensed water vapor; a water tank to receive the condensed water vapor; a separation pump for raising pressure of the gaseous sterilization agent; a second condenser to cool the gaseous sterilization agent causing the sterilization agent to condense into liquid; and a second tank for storing the liquid sterilization agent.

A method and system for recovering a sterilization agent and nitrogen from a waste gaseous mixture, comprising: pressure reducing valve for reducing pressure of waste gas from sterilization chambers to a first predefined pressure; a first condenser to receive the gaseous mixture and cool it to a temperature below boiling point and above freezing point of the water vapor at the first predefined pressure, to produce condensed water vapor; a first tank for storing the condensed water vapor; a separation pump for raising pressure of the gaseous mixture to a second predefined pressure; a second condenser to cool the gaseous mixture to a temperature below boiling point and above freezing point of the sterilization agent at the second predefined pressure, to condense the sterilization agent into liquid, and to discharge the nitrogen gas remaining in the gaseous mixture; a second tank for storing the sterilization agent; a compressor to compress the discharged nitrogen gas and increase pressure of the discharged nitrogen gas to a preset pressure value; and a third tank or storing the nitrogen gas for reuse.

Disclosed is a method for reducing the increase in temperature at the surface of the earth and the increase in the content of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere due to the fossil fuel and non-fossil fuel combustion operations, remarkable in that it consists in reducing the increase in the temperature of the earth and the increase in the content of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which reductions in the temperature of the earth and of the content of carbon dioxide are achieved by reducing the drop in the oxygen content in the atmosphere, which reduction in the drop in the oxygen content includes: producing pure oxygen or producing hydrogen peroxide, and using for fuel combustion the oxygen or hydrogen peroxide to reduce the consumption of oxygen contained in the air during the combustion operations. Also disclosed is the device, the vehicle and the plant for carrying out the method.
