A carbon dioxide and exhaust gas capture device that is a device being unique in the world and being able to truly suppress carbon dioxide is provides and has a cold water tank set, a photosynthetic tank set, and a terrestrial plant tank set. The cold water tank set reduces temperature of exhaust gas and filters toxic gases and pollutant particles. The photosynthetic tank set and the terrestrial plant tank set further photosynthesize the exhaust gas with organisms that derive energy from photosynthesis and terrestrial plants to produce oxygen. Moreover, the carbon dioxide and exhaust gas capture device requires low cost, has high efficiency, produces zero pollution during the process, has a long service life, and has high added value.

In a process for treating a carbon dioxide-rich gas (1) containing water, the treatment by compression and/or washing and/or drying of the gas produces acidified water (W1, W2, W3, W4, W7) which is sent to a cooling circuit (W8, W10).

A process for capturing carbon dioxide (CO.sub.2) present in a gas stream is provided. The process includes providing a cooling tower that treats a gas stream. The gas stream including CO.sub.2 is introduced into the cooling tower. A liquid carbon-dioxide-capturing media is released into the gas stream in the cooling tower. The carbon-dioxide-capturing media absorbs the CO.sub.2 in the gas stream, and the carbon-dioxide-capturing media including the absorbed CO.sub.2 is collected. An absorber for capture of CO.sub.2 in a gas stream is also provided. The absorber includes a cooling tower for treatment of a gas stream including CO.sub.2. The cooling tower includes an input for the gas stream, an outlet for a treated gas stream, and a sprayer that releases liquid carbon-dioxide-capturing media into the cooling tower. The carbon-dioxide-capturing media absorbs the CO.sub.2 from the gas stream in the cooling tower. A collector collects the carbon-dioxide-capturing media including absorbed CO.sub.2.

An exhaust gas cleaning system comprises a first sub system including a scrubber unit comprising a scrubber arranged to wash the exhaust gas with a scrubber fluid, and a centrifugal separator arranged in communication with the scrubber unit for receiving the scrubber fluid after washing and separate it into a first and a second fraction, which second fraction is more polluted than the first fraction. The exhaust gas cleaning system further comprises a second sub system including a membrane filter arranged in communication with the centrifugal separator for receiving the first fraction output from the centrifugal separator and separating it into a third and a fourth fraction, which fourth fraction is more polluted than the third fraction. A method for cleaning exhaust gas onboard a ship involves cleaning an exhaust gas onboard a ship.

Disclosed are a pollutant capturer and mobilizer and method of mobilizing a polluted gaseous substance from one location towards another location and capturing one or multiple types of polluting substances, such as CO.sub.2, from an atmospheric body of polluted gaseous substance or from exhaust of vehicles, chimneys, or stacks and thereby combat the negative health, environmental, and economic impacts of the of the polluting substances on communities. Wet or dry embodiments of the pollutant capturer and mobilizer utilize wet or dry pollutant capturing components, respectively, to capture one or multiple types of polluting substances from a body of polluted gaseous substance. Flow establishing devices can be used to set the body of polluted gaseous substance in motion through the pollutant capturing component. The pollutant capturer and mobilizer may also be mounted on any type of vehicles, with or without using flow establishing devices.

A multi-stage system comprising a digester, a bioreactor, a scrubber, a biofilter, and a membrane filter extracts and purifies biogas from a wastewater feed. The digester separates raw biogas from wastewater, the wastewater is then purified with a three-stage bacterial process in a bioreactor. The scrubber receives raw biogas from the digester under pressure, dissolving waste gases and purifying the methane, which can be further condensed and purified in the membrane filter. The bioreactor receives waste gases from the scrubber and membrane filter, with the ammonia portion of the waste gases rising through water from the bioreactor and being converted by annamox bacteria into nitrogen gas. The multiply recycled gas and water feeds produce a biogas having high purity and reduced atmospheric emissions of waste gases.
