METHOD AND DEVICE FOR TREATING OIL GAS
Provided is a method for treating an oil gas, which can realize high-efficiency separation for and recovery of gasoline components, C.sub.2, C.sub.3, and C.sub.4 components. The method first conducts separation of light hydrocarbon components from gasoline components, and then performs subsequent treatment on a stream rich in the light hydrocarbon components, during which it is no longer necessary to use gasoline to circularly absorb liquefied gas components, which significantly reduces the amount of gasoline to be circulated and reduces energy consumption throughout the separation process. Besides, in this method, impurities, such as H.sub.2S and mercaptans, in the stream rich in the light hydrocarbon components are removed first before the separation for the components. This ensures that impurities will not be carried to a downstream light hydrocarbon recovery section, thus avoiding corrosion issues caused by hydrogen sulfide in the light hydrocarbon recovery section.

The after treatment method may include: operating an engine at a lean air/fuel ratio; calculating an amount of NH.sub.3 stored in an SCR catalyst; calculating an amount of NOx which will flow into the SCR catalyst; determining whether conversion to a rich air/fuel ratio is desired; calculating, when the conversion to the rich air/fuel ratio is desired, a rich duration for which the rich air/fuel ratio is maintained and a target air/fuel ratio; and operating the engine at the target air/fuel ratio for the rich duration.
Air pollution remediation system for large open-air spaces
An air pollution remediation system is provided. The systemic apparatus includes a tubular column having a plurality of spaced apart vents along its outer surface. Each vent has adjustable louvers for controlling the airflow therethrough. An airflow conduit extends along the longitudinal length of the column with porous layers and a mass of absorbent disposed between the airflow conduit and the plurality of vents. A fan fluidly coupled to the airflow conduit urges ambient air into the airflow conduit and through the porous layers and the mass of absorbent and out of the vents in a selectively controlled manner by way of the adjustable louvers. A prefilter may be disposed upstream of the fan. A network of the systemic apparatus can be arranged to provide, in a selective enabled manner through the adjustable louvers, a contiguous looping canopy of purified air over large open spaces.
