Disclosed is a multi-stage degassing unit for degassing waste water, such as effluent from grain milling processes, through impingement upon successive impact plates. The degassing unit has one or more stages of impact plates, which alternate with redistribution trays that receive the waste water that impinges upon the impact plates directly above the trays and then redistributes the waste water through a plurality of apertures in the redistribution tray. The process of impinging the waste water against the impact plates, collecting the water, and redistributing the water into a plurality of streams may be repeated as necessary to sufficiently remove gas clinging to biomass in the waste water. This degassing will promote the settlement of the biomass for reuse in the water treatment process to reduce biological oxygen demand.

A degasser includes a vessel having a series of chambers. Liquid containing a gas is directed through the vessel and the chambers therein. A stripping gas is injected into the vessel and moves through the vessel in a counter-current direction relative to the flow of liquid. More particularly, the stripping gas moves from one chamber to another chamber in an upstream direction (relative to the flow of the liquid) and is mixed with the liquid in each chamber, causing gas in the liquid to be displaced. Displaced gas is vented from the vessel at a location near where the liquid enters the vessel.

The invention relates to devices for purifying hydraulic and dielectric fluids (oils and fuels) of dispersed and dissolved water. The unit for dehydrating and degassing hydraulic and dielectric fluids comprises a vacuum tank, an atomizer with a spray member, said atomizer being disposed in the vacuum tank, a hydraulic feed pump connected by a pipe to the atomizer, a hydraulic discharge pump connected by a pipe to the tank, and a vacuum pump connected by a pipe to the tank, wherein the atomizer is arranged vertically in the lower part of the vacuum tank with the spray member oriented upward and consists of: a T fitting with a lower inlet for oil and with a lateral air inlet; a mixing chamber disposed above the T fitting; and a spray member disposed above the mixing chamber. The technical result consists in providing more efficient dehydration and degassing of hydraulic and dielectric fluids, increasing useful volume of the vacuum tank without increasing the dimensions thereof, reducing the dispersivity of fluid sprayed from the atomizer, and simplifying the design.

A modular Subsea Level Gas Separator of Oil Well Effluent (SLGOE) about the well-head, precludes gas entrainment reaching the rig. The effluent, past the well-head BOP, through ab oil-diversion tube, enters into gas-separator tanks, creating fountain-like up-flow (Sumathi Paturu Up-flow Model). The oil down-streaming into an oil-passage tank, is styphoned to the partitioned collection system, past the diversion tube. Massively clustered top outlets of the tanks let off the instantly rising gases. In another embodiment otherwise similarly configured, the oil flows down from the top to the bottom of the tank (Symathi Paturu Down-flow Model). In either model, a gas entrainment instantly reaching the top of the tank(s) is precluded to entrain into the down-streaming oil. Additionally, the immensely pressured gases are attenuated by enormous receptive volume of the tanks and the multiple upstream gas-outlets. A Continuation-in-part application will detail the incorporated emergency measures encompassing a blown-out oil-well.

A vacuum deaerator degasses material to be processed by placing a rotating rotor with a screen in a vacuum vessel, introducing a liquid material to be processed into the rotor from the interior thereof and causing the liquid to pass through the screen to refine the same. The vacuum deaerator is characterized in that: the screen is a cylinder with a circular cross-section and is in the form of a porous plate in which a plurality of through holes are opened in the radial direction of the cylindrical screen; and the screen is provided such that the area of inflow openings is greater than the area of outflow openings, where the inflow openings are openings of a plurality of penetration portions provided on the inner wall face of the screen and the outflow openings are openings of the plurality of penetration portions provided on the outer wall dace of the screen. Thus, the processing capacity of the vacuum deaerator is improved without increasing the size of the device.

A deaerator includes a vessel having a chamber defined by an outer wall; and a tray module detachably connected to the vessel, the tray module having a plurality of deaerator trays which are connected to one another in a spaced relationship to form a stack which is suspended within the chamber.

The degassing system can include a degassing vessel and can utilize a vacuum pump and a fluid pump located downstream of the degassing vessel to control the pressure within the degassing vessel in order to control the concentration of gases in fluid exiting the degassing system. The degassing system can further comprise sensors in communication with the pumps to control the rate of flow and pressure through the degassing system. The degassing system may be placed in a dialysate flow path to remove dissolved gases including carbon dioxide from the dialysate.

Systems and processes for treating, reducing and/or disposing of leachate created by a landfill system by aerating, spraying and/or stripping leachate in a controlled environment to promote evaporation of a water component of the leachate, to strip a portion of ammonia from the leachate and/or to promote biological decomposition of the leachate. The reduced or concentrated leachate produced by the system or process, whether liquid, solid or slurry, can be disposed of as allowed or desired at a cost benefitted by the reduced volume and/or treated condition of the leachate.

The devised modular of Subsea Level Gas Separator of Oil Well Effluent (SLGOE) precludes giant gas entrainment entering the rig. The effluent, past the BOP, is diverted by gravity through a diversion tube, into the bottom of 1-3 gas separator tanks, creating fountain-like flow. The downstream, syphoned from an oil passage tank, joins the partitioned collection system past the diversion tube. The large top outlets of all tanks let off instantly rising gases.

In another embodiment of two gas separator tanks, oil flows from the top of the first. Its bottom outlet directs it into the top of the second. From it, oil is siphoned to the collection system. The large top outlets of both tanks instantly let off gases.

In either device, the gas instantly separates from the effluent tossed into aerial milieu of the tanks, a simplest model conceivable, the laws of nature taken advantage of.
