Embodiments of a system including a remotely controlled reaction device and associated controller are described. Methods of use and control of the device are also disclosed. According to various embodiments, a reaction device is placed in an environment in order to perform a chemical reaction in an environment. Exemplary environments include a body of an organism, a body of water, or an enclosed volume of a fluid. In selected embodiments, a magnetic field, an electric field, or electromagnetic control signal may be used.

The present disclosure is directed to a hydrogen production system for creating and extracting hydrogen gas. The hydrogen production system contains a reactor vessel into which a solution and a metallic or semi-metal material may be placed. The solution is added to the reactor vessel contains both water and a caustic. When contacting the metallic or semi-metal material within the reactor vessel a chemical reaction occurs. The chemical reaction creates hydrogen gas as well as heat and other byproducts. The hydrogen gas may then flow through a hydrogen extraction point located on the reactor vessel for collection or operational use.

Methods and systems for on-site generation of peracid chemistry, namely peroxycarboxylic acids and peroxycarboxylic acid forming compositions, are disclosed. In particular, an adjustable biocide formulator or generator system is designed for on-site generation of peroxycarboxylic acids and peroxycarboxylic acid forming compositions from sugar esters. Methods of using the in situ generated peroxycarboxylic acids and peroxycarboxylic acid forming compositions are also disclosed.

Methods and systems for on-site, continuous generation of peracid chemistry, namely peroxycarboxylic acids and peroxycarboxylic acid forming compositions, are disclosed. In particular, an adjustable biocide formulator or generator system is designed for on-site generation of peroxycarboxylic acids and peroxycarboxylic acid forming compositions from sugar esters. Methods of using the in situ generated peroxycarboxylic acids and peroxycarboxylic acid forming compositions are also disclosed.

Systems and methods include a computer-implemented method for managing crude oil demand at a crude oil processing plant. Real-time process data is received for the plant and includes quantitative values for conditions and operations at the plant. A multiple stabilizer oil flow control strategy is determined for crude oil stabilizer columns of the plant using the real-time process data. A targeted oil flow rate is determined for each stabilizer column using the strategy. The targeted oil flow rate provides a continuous and on-target crude oil supply to components of the plant in multiple operating scenarios. The on-target crude oil supply includes a range of oil flow volumes required for continuous operation. The plant is operated using the strategy, including maintaining, using the targeted oil flow rate for each stabilizer column, crude oil demand for different combinations of the crude oil stabilizer columns and multiple operating scenarios.

An acoustic reactor is provided, comprising a body defining a chamber for holding an ultrasound medium and a reactor vessel for receiving a reactant, the reactor vessel positioned in the chamber. An ultrasound transducer arrangement is configured to emit coherent ultrasound waves into the chamber. A reflector arrangement is arranged to reflect coherent ultrasound waves from the ultrasound transducer arrangement in opposing directions into the reactor vessel so as to form a standing wave in the reactor vessel.

A reactor has a reactor vessel and one or more reaction tubes. One or more power input elements are guided into the reactor vessel for the electrical heating of the reaction tube(s). The one or more power input elements each have a rod-shaped section, and the rod-shaped section(s) each run in a respective wall passage through a wall of the reactor vessel. A connection chamber into which the rod-shaped section(s) project is arranged outside the reactor vessel and adjacent to the wall of the reactor vessel through which the rod-shaped section(s) run in their wall passages. Gas feed means apply an inerting gas to the connection chamber, and the wall passages with the rod-shaped sections received therein in a longitudinally-movable manner are designed to be gas-permeable so that at least a portion of the inerting gas fed into the connection chamber flows out into the reactor vessel.
