Method and apparatus for condensing a majority of the solvent in a process gas stream at low temperatures, e.g., below the freezing point of water, ca. −5° C. The gas stream exiting the condenser step may be further processed in one or more emission control devices, such as a single or multi-step series of concentrator devices, such as zeolite concentrator devices. One or more emission control operations can be carried out downstream of the single or multi-step concentrators. The aforementioned condensing process enables the one or more concentrators to operate in a favorable temperature range for removal of 99% or more of VOC, thereby meeting or exceeding strict environmental regulations.

A methane destruction apparatus for capturing and converting fugitive methane gas emissions into carbon dioxide and water comprises a methane-capturing module for capturing the fugitive methane gas emissions and a methane conversion module for receiving captured methane from the methane-capturing module. The methane-capturing module includes a fugitive methane gas emission intake connected to an emissions line having a backpressure equal to 1 to 3 inches of water (249 to 746 Pa), a natural gas feed for feeding natural gas into the methane-capturing module, may include a relief vent for preventing overpressure within the methane-capturing module and a drain for draining liquids that have condensed within the methane-capturing module. The methane conversion module includes a conversion pad for catalytically converting the captured methane into carbon dioxide and water, a water vapour opening for outputting the water and a carbon dioxide opening for outputting the carbon dioxide.

An atmospheric water generation system comprises water vapor consolidation systems configured to increase the relative humidity of a controlled air stream prior to condensing water from the controlled air stream. The water vapor consolidation system comprises a fluid-desiccant flow system configured to decrease the temperature of the desiccant to encourage water vapor to be absorbed by the desiccant from an atmospheric air flow. The desiccant flow is then heated to encourage water vapor evaporation from the desiccant flow into a controlled air stream that circulates within the system. The humidity of the controlled air stream is thereby increased above the relative humidity of the atmospheric air to facilitate condensation of the water vapor into usable liquid water.

This disclosure is directed to a system for generating liquid water from a gaseous ambient environment containing water vapor. The system includes a mobile trailer and a liquid water generator provided on the mobile trailer. The liquid water generator is configured to generate liquid water by condensing the water vapor from the gaseous ambient environment. An energy source provided on the mobile trailer that is self-contained and is configured to collect and store energy sufficient to power the liquid water generator.

A method and a device for the purification of gases from the degassing of polymer melts—in particular, for the continuous further processing to form stretched polymer films. In this case, the gas to be purified is fed from a vacuum zone of a plasticizing unit, via at least one vacuum or degassing line, to a vacuum separator with a gas inlet and a gas outlet in which condensible, separable by freezing, and/or re-sublimable substances are separated from the supplied and purified gas by means of a cooling arrangement, and the separated substances are removed from the vacuum separator. By means of a heating arrangement, the substances separated by means of the cooling arrangement are at least partially liquefied or softened in the vacuum separator and removed from the vacuum separator in particular by suction.

An on-line measurement system for aerosol precursors emitted from industrial sources has three parts: online measurement part, pipeline cleaning part and automatic control part. The system includes: a particulate filter, high temperature intake pipe, two detergent tanks, an air pump, a cooling water pump, two detergent pumps, a condenser, an impinger, a cooling water meter, a salinity meter, a liquid flow meter, a gas flow meter, nitrogen cylinders, connecting pipes, control valves, computer control program etc. The aerosol precursor concentration Cg emitted from industrial sources is measured in the online measurement section. After every measurement, the pipeline is cleaned by the pipeline cleaning part to remove organic and inorganic residual. The automatic control part is controlled by the computer through a controlling program to control the working process of the system. The system has small area occupation, low investment cost, simple maintenance, convenient transformation and high applicability.

There is provided a liquid water harvester based on a valve-controlled active air supply and belongs to the field of liquid water harvesters. The present disclosure aims to address the problem of low airflow speed, high environmental humidity requirements, and auxiliary heating of an adsorption stage in the current atmospheric water harvesting technologies. In the present disclosure, the active air supply device is used to speed up the air circulation in the harvester so as to greatly shorten the adsorption time of the moisture absorbing material for the water vapor in the air and improve the heat dissipation of the micro-nano structure condensation surface. The electric valve controls the air circulation circuit and cooperates with the active air supply device. In this case, only one active air supply device can be used to complete the air supply and the condensation heat dissipation at the same time.

An apparatus, system, and method for the extraction of water molecules from the air includes a combination of electrical mechanisms and materials engineering. With the help of hydrophobic and hydrophilic materials on an array of thermally conductive and electrically insulated materials, the extraction of water from the air is significantly increased. A combination of hydrophobic and hydrophilic materials and an electric field gradient moves the water molecules towards the collection system thus speeding up the water formation process. This also inhibits the re evaporation of the water droplets.
