A system and method for the pyrolysis of a pyrolysis feedstock utilizes a pyrolysis reactor having a pyrolysis conduit and a solids return conduit segment. Each segment is configured with an outlet and an inlet to receive and discharge solid materials that are circulated through the reactor through the different segments. A solids conveyor is disposed within the pyrolysis conduit segment to facilitate conveying solid materials from the solids inlet upward through the pyrolysis conduit segment toward the solids discharge outlet. A pyrolysis feedstock is introduced into the pyrolysis reactor and at least a portion of the feedstock is converted to pyrolysis gases within the pyrolysis conduit segment, which are discharged through a gas outlet.

The present disclosure provides a method of collecting, including condensing, vapour of a polar fluid inside a liquid that is subjected to continuous flow in a process system, the liquid having a low vapour pressure (i.e. non-volatile) and being a non-polar liquid. The collection of the vapour, by condensation, occurs via four transition steps: (1) vapour (e.g. vapour of water) transferring sensible heat to the liquid (e.g. oil), (2) bubbles containing vapour collapse and become water in hot oil, (3) dissolved vapour liquefies through heat removal at elevated temperatures, and (4) oil and water are separated due to the difference in polarity between the polar fluid and the non-volatile non-polar liquid. The present method converts low grade (i.e. low temperature) waste heat into high grade heat source suitable for efficient heat rejection or heat recovery applications. An apparatus for collecting vapour of a polar fluid in a non-volatile non-polar liquid is also provided.

The invention relates to a cleaning device for separating an organic isocyanate produced by the reaction of an organic amine with a stoichiometric excess of phosgene in the gas phase from the gaseous raw product obtained in the reaction, said device comprising a first separating body comprising at least one raw product supply line for a gaseous raw product flow containing at least the isocyanate, hydrogen chloride and non-reacted phosgene, a first liquid supply line for a liquid flow containing at least one quench liquid, and a first liquid discharge line for a liquid flow containing at least part of the quench liquid and part of the isocyanate, a first gas line for transporting a gas flow containing at least hydrogen chloride, evaporated quench liquid and phosgene leading away from the first separating body. The invention is characterized in that at least one addition body for directly introducing at least one cooling fluid for an at least partial condensation and/or absorption of the gas flow that can be guided via the first gas line is associated with the first gas line.

A Pressure Gradient Seawater Distillation System for distilling a fluid. The elements of the system are positioned to transmit heat to improve efficiency. Fluid enters an entry tube, cooling a photovoltaic panel and cooling water in an intermediate tube. The entry tube deposits fluid in an evaporator, where the fluid is heated to transform into a gas. The gas is transmitted to a condensing chamber, where the pressure is varied to assist in condensation. Condensed water is stored in a reservoir, where a splitter is used to transmit a portion of the excess water to an exit point, while the remainder of the water is cooled by heat exchange and transmitted to a nozzle in the condensing chamber. Water falls from the nozzle to capture water vapor in condensing the gas in the condensing chamber or in condensing regions of a single compartment distiller. A flow control element, a pressure valve, and pressure controls are included for managing fluid flow and pressure.
