A system and method for processing unconditioned syngas first removes solids and semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOC), then removes volatile organic compounds (VOC), and then removes at least one sulfur containing compound from the syngas. Additional processing may be performed depending on such factors as the source of syngas being processed, the products, byproducts and intermediate products desired to be formed, captured or recycled and environmental considerations.

A process for treating a gaseous effluent obtained from a pyrolytic decomposition of one or more polymers, including: a condensation step, in a condensation chamber maintained at a first pressure, of a gaseous effluent placed in contact with an absorbent liquid, the temperature of the absorbent liquid being below the temperature of the gaseous effluent, a step of partial vaporization, by expansion of the condensate in a chamber maintained at a second pressure below the first pressure, a reinjection step which includes at least partly redirecting a first liquid or vapor fraction, obtained on conclusion of the partial vaporization step, to the condensation chamber, and a recovery step including purification of a second liquid or vapor fraction, obtained on conclusion of the partial vaporization step and charged with monomer(s).

A method for processing hydrogen chloride from isocyanate preparation comprises the steps: a) providing hydrogen chloride; b) purifying the hydrogen chloride provided; and furthermore step c) or step d): c) bringing the purified hydrogen chloride into contact with water and/or with hydrochloric acid which is not saturated with respect to uptake of hydrogen chloride, d) further processing the purified hydrogen chloride to chlorine by partial oxidation. The hydrogen chloride provided in step a) contains organic and/or nitrogen-containing impurities and in step b) the purification is carried out by bringing hydrogen chloride into contact with hydrochloric acid which is saturated to the extent of 90% with respect to uptake of hydrogen chloride at least in a first gas scrubber (10) and circulating this hydrochloric acid at least partially through the first gas scrubber (10).

The invention relates to an on-site medical gas production plant (100) comprising a unit (50) for purifying gas, such as air, a first compartment (A) for storing purified gas, and a main gas line (10) fluidically connecting the gas purification unit (50) to the said first storage compartment (A). It furthermore comprises an actuated valve (304) arranged on the main gas line (10) upstream of the first storage compartment (A), and furthermore connected to the secondary purifying device (306), as well as an operating device (4) which controls at least the actuated valve (304), and at least a gas analysis device (D2) in fluid communication with the main line (10), and which is in communication with said operating device (4).

Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for processing liquefied natural gas (LNG). In one implementation, a solvent is injected into a feed of natural gas at a solvent injection point. A mixed feed is produced from a dispersal of the solvent into the feed of natural gas. The mixed feed contains heavy components. A chilled feed is produced by chilling the mixed feed. The chilled feed includes a vapor and a condensed liquid. The condensed liquid contains a fouling portion of the heavy components condensed by the solvent during chilling. The liquid containing the fouling portion of the heavy components is separated from the vapor. The vapor is directed into a feed chiller heat exchanger following separation of the liquid containing the fouling portion of the heavy components from the vapor, such that the vapor being directed into feed chiller heat exchanger is free of freezing components.

The invention pertains to processes for separating gases, acid gas, hydrocarbons, air gases, or combinations thereof. The processes may employ using a liquid phase cloud point with or without subsequent liquid-liquid separation. In some embodiments membranes can be employed with reverse osmosis to regenerate a solvent and/or an antisolvent. In some embodiments thermal switching phase changes may be employed during absorption or desorption to facilitate separation.

This invention relates to a method for cleaning air comprising one or more pollutants, the method comprising contacting the air with thermal decompositions products of ozone.

An apparatus for removing sulfur from a hydrocarbon liquid may comprise a tank with a chamber, a barrier in the chamber forming at least a partial barrier to liquid flow with a gap defined therein, a gas distribution manifold for introducing the gas into the liquid, and a gas conversion structure defining an interior in fluid communication with the chamber. The gas conversion structure may include a conversion tube defining a tube interior in fluid communication with the chamber, an air injection device configured to inject air into the tube interior and draw gas from the chamber, a water injection device configured to inject water into the tube interior to create a mist of water in the tube interior to contact the gas from the chamber of the tank, and a fluid drain configured to drain fluid from the tube interior.
