A method for producing valuable organic liquid from a biomass wherein a gas is heated to a predetermined temperature to produce a heated gas. The heated gas is mixed with a biomass to produce an enriched organic vapor and a biomass waste product. The biomass waste product is separated from the enriched organic vapor. The enriched organic vapor is cooled to produce a liquid organic oil and the liquid organic oil is collected. A system for producing the liquid organic oil wherein the system includes a heat source for heating a gas to produce a heated gas and a first separation unit to separate an enriched organic vapor and a biomass waste product. The enriched organic vapor and the biomass waste product are generated from mixing the heated gas and a biomass. The system also includes a wet scrubber for cooling the enriched organic vapor to remove certain compounds from the enriched organic vapor to generate an enriched organic smoke. The organic smoke can be transformed to the liquid organic oil in an electrostatic precipitator.

The air so ionized couples with one or more pathogens on or adjacent to the planar surface. The automated pathogen cleaner includes a pathogen-collecting subassembly configured to collect said ionized air and at least disrupt functioning of said one or more pathogens so coupled with the ionized air.

An engine emission treatment system incudes at least one out of an air inlet dust removal system (101), a tail gas dust removal system (102), and a tail gas ozone purification system. The tail gas dust removal system (102) has an inlet of the tail gas dust removal system, an outlet of the tail gas dust removal system, and a tail gas electric field device (1021). The tail gas ozone purification system has a reaction field (202), used for mixing an ozone stream and a tail gas stream for reaction. The engine emission treatment system may effectively treat engine emissions, so as to make the engine emissions cleaner.

A method and apparatus for electro-hydrodynamic destruction of an aerosol. The method includes receiving air having large aerosols, greater than about 1 micron, and small aerosols, smaller than about 1 micron, and entraining the large aerosols and small aerosols within an airflow. The airflow is directed to an electric field, which causes the large aerosols to react with the electric field to accumulate an electric charge resulting in extraction of the large aerosols from the airflow. The airflow is also directed to a non-thermal plasma such that the small aerosols remain entrained in the airflow and are subject to electro-hydrodynamic (EHD) phenomena. The non-thermal plasma outputs at least one of radicals, excited species, and ionized atoms and molecules capable of reacting with the small aerosols to result in physical and/or chemical destruction of the small aerosols.
