The quick response system and method for removing volatile compounds from contaminated water disclosed herein may comprise, at least, a preconditioning stage, a stripping stage, a condenser stage, a refrigeration stage, and a scrubber stage. The present invention relates to a portable system and method that can be deployed on an emergency or quick response basis to purify aqueous streams containing volatile organic compounds (VOC) and chlorinated hydrocarbons, collectively volatile compounds (VC), emitted from petroleum and chemical processing facilities. The system allows manufacturing facilities having internal cleanup issues to become compliant with environmental standards and guidelines quickly. Once the issues in the petroleum facility are fixed, this method can be demobilized and removed from the site in a short period of time.

Described are a high pressure carbamate condenser, urea plant, and urea production process. The high pressure carbamate condenser as described is of the shell-and-tube heat exchanger type with a tube bundle and has a redistribution chamber connected to tubes of the tube bundle and to a duct. The duct extends between the redistribution chamber and the shell.

The present invention relates to a method for producing purified phosgene vapor, comprising the following steps: 1) providing a gas flow obtainable from the reaction of chlorine with carbon monoxide and comprising phosgene and carbon monoxide; 2) one-stage or multi-stage condensation of the gas flow and separation of non-condensable residue gases; 3) one-stage or multi-stage evaporation of the liquid phosgene obtained in step 2) and optional overheating of the produced phosgene vapour, wherein there is an energy integration between one or more of the condensation steps of step 2) and one or more of the evaporation steps in step 3) and the pressure in the last condensation step is between 0.2 and 6.0 bar higher than in the first evaporation step.

A system and method for expanding the production capacity of an existing ethanol production facility including: a source of fermented mash (beer); a first beer column configured for receiving beer input from the source and for producing overhead comprising alcohol vapor and water vapor; and a first rectifier receiving an alcohol and water mixture from said first beer column. The system includes a second beer column, first and second condensers receiving overhead from the beer columns and a second rectifier receiving condensed overhead from the second condenser and bottoms from the first rectifier. A processing component receives bottoms from the first and second beer columns and steam condensate. The method includes the steps of retrofitting an existing ethanol production facility with a second beer column, first and second condensers and a second rectifier.

A method which allows the ejection of non-condensable gases, notably air, from a closed loop power generation process or heat pump system, is disclosed. A vessel in which a working fluid is absorbed or condensed can be separated from the power generation processes by valves. Residual gas comprising CO2, non-condensable gas such as air, water and alkaline materials including amines may be compressed by raising the liquid level in said vessel. The concurrent pressure increase leads to the selective absorption of CO2 by alkaline materials. In simpler embodiments, mainly air is removed from one- or two-component processes. Following the compression, non-condensable gas may be vented, optionally through a filter. The method is simple and economic as vacuum pumps may be omitted. The method is useful for any power generation and Rankine cycle, and particularly useful for the power generation process known as C3 or Carbon Carrier Cycle.

The present invention relates to a method for producing purified phosgene vapor, comprising the following steps: 1) providing a gas flow obtainable from the reaction of chlorine with carbon monoxide and comprising phosgene and carbon monoxide; 2) one-stage or multi-stage condensation of the gas flow and separation of non-condensable residue gases; 3) one-stage or multi-stage evaporation of the liquid phosgene obtained in step 2) and optional overheating of the produced phosgene vapour, wherein there is an energy integration between one or more of the condensation steps of step 2) and one or more of the evaporation steps in step 3) and the pressure in the last condensation step is between 0.2 and 6.0 bar higher than in the first evaporation step.
