Certain embodiments of the invention relate to a method and facility for purifying a high-flow gas stream by absorbtion, the purification facility comprising at least one absorber having a parallelepipedal enclosure arranged horizontally and comprising: a gas stream inlet and outlet, two fixed-bed absorbent masses each having a likewise parallelepipedal shape, the surfaces of which are parallel to the surfaces of the enclosure, and a set of volumes allowing the traversing of the two absorbent masses by the gas streams, in parallel but opposite directions, the traversing occurring horizontally over the entire cross-section of each of the absorbent masses and over their entire thicknesses.

The present invention relates to a computer-implemented method for monitoring at least one exhaust gas purification system for purifying an exhaust gas stream to be purified of an industrial system or an industrial process. The method comprises retrieving system data of the exhaust gas purification system from a data cloud. The system data stored in the data cloud were at least partially received beforehand by the data cloud from the exhaust gas purification system. The system data relate to at least measurement data of at least one sensor of the exhaust gas purification system and/or data about at least one adjustable parameter of the exhaust gas purification system. The method further comprises determining at least one quantity characterizing the exhaust gas purification system based on the retrieved system data.

In order to provide a filter system for separating off contaminants from a stream of untreated gas that contains contaminants that is of simple construction and is operable efficiently, it is proposed that the filter system should include the following: a base construction through which the stream of untreated gas is guidable and which includes at least one filter module receptacle for receiving at least one filter module, and at least one filter module which is selectively arrangeable on and/or in the at least one filter module receptacle and/or removable therefrom, wherein the at least one filter module includes a plurality of filter element receptacles for receiving a plurality of mutually independent filter elements.

A method of controlling an apparatus that removes specified substances from a process gaseous stream can control at least one fan and a rotary wheel that removes the specified substances. The method includes measuring a pressure difference of the process gaseous stream across upstream and downstream sides of the rotary wheel, comparing the measured pressure difference to a predetermined pressure range, and controlling the at least one fan to increase or decrease its speed if the measured pressure difference is outside of the predetermined pressure range so as to change the pressure difference so as to be within the predetermined pressure range.

A work facility that is capable of adjusting an air volume without a work defect and saving energy. The opening degree of an air volume adjusting damper corresponding to a filter booth for which the individual air volume measured by a corresponding individual flowmeter is the smallest among the respective individual air volumes for the filter booths is adjusted to a completely open state, whereas the opening degree of any other air volume adjusting damper is adjusted to such an opening degree that the individual air volume for the corresponding filter booth as measured by a corresponding individual flowmeter is equal to the smallest individual air volume, and a gas discharge fan is adjusted by a total air volume adjusting mechanism so that a total air volume measured by a total flowmeter is equal to a predetermined target total air volume.

A paint mist removing apparatus includes: a duct through which air containing paint mist passes; an element fit part provided at the duct, the element fit part being fitted with a filter element including a filter part configured to remove the paint mist and a filter case housing the filter part, the filter case having a case exit from which all air taken in from a case entrance of the filter case is caused to exit through the filter part; an frame-like projection projecting from an inner surface of the duct and abutting on an entire circumference of an opening edge of the case exit of the filter case; and a duct side-surface opening being open at a side surface of the duct and normally closed by a door member, the duct side-surface opening being open when the filter element is set in and out from the element fit part.

A method for removing overspray from air flow exiting a painting booth may include passing the air flow through an incoherent mass of cleaning elements, which are kept in a stirred condition, so as to release the overspray onto the cleaning elements of the incoherent mass.

A painting booth may include: a painting chamber and/or an overspray removal unit. Paint may be sprayed in the painting chamber. The painting chamber may be crossed by an air flow for evacuation of overspray from the painting chamber. When exiting the chamber, the air flow may pass through the overspray removal unit in order to remove the overspray from the air flow. The overspray removal unit may include an incoherent mass of cleaning elements kept in a stirred condition, through which the air flow containing the overspray passes so as to release the overspray onto the cleaning elements. A method for removing overspray from air flow exiting a painting booth may include: passing the air flow through an incoherent mass of cleaning elements which are kept in a stirred condition, so as to release the overspray onto the cleaning elements of the incoherent mass.

Provided is a concentrated catalyst combustion system including an active concentration rate control means. The concentrated catalyst combustion system including an active concentration rate control means includes an absorption blower fan absorbing exhaust gas containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs), a VOC concentrator into which the exhaust gas passing through the absorption blower fan is introduced, and in which adsorption and desorption of the VOCs are carried out, a flow rate regulating blower fan absorbing a portion of the exhaust gas flowing into the VOC concentrator in a direction in which the VOCs are desorbed, a concentration measurer, arranged between the VOC concentrator and the flow rate regulating blower fan, measuring the concentration of the VOCs after desorption, a catalyst combustor burning concentrated VOCs provided by the flow rate regulating blower fan, and a controller controlling the flow rate regulating blower fan to regulate the flow rate absorbed from the VOC concentrator to maintain within a certain range the concentration of the VOCs measured by the concentration measurer.
