There is provided an apparatus and for removing pollutants from a gas. The apparatus comprises a gas flow path along which gas passes from an inlet to an outlet in use; and a cooling device on the gas flow path and orientated so as to direct the gas flow path upward towards the outlet. The apparatus is arranged in use to provide water and gaseous reagent to gas upstream of the cooling device in quantities based on one or more properties of the gas and a cooling capability of the cooling device so as to cause the reagent to react with one or more constituents of the gas to produce a reaction product and to cause the gas to reach its saturation point when passing through the cooling device thereby causing water in the gas to capture the reaction product, condense and pass out of the gas.

Methods and systems are provided for addressing engine cold-start emissions while an exhaust catalyst is activated. In one example, a method for improving exhaust emissions may include flowing ionized air into an engine exhaust, downstream of an exhaust catalyst, to oxidize exhaust emissions left untreated by the catalyst. The approach reduces the PM load of the exhaust as well as of a downstream particulate matter filter.

Methods and apparatus for treating an exhaust gas in a foreline of a substrate processing system are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method for treating an exhaust gas in an exhaust conduit of a substrate processing system includes: flowing an exhaust gas and a reagent gas into an exhaust conduit of a substrate processing system; injecting a non-reactive gas into the exhaust conduit to maintain a desired pressure in the exhaust conduit for conversion of the exhaust gas; and forming a plasma from the exhaust gas and reagent gas, subsequent to injecting the non-reactive gas, to convert the exhaust gas to abatable byproduct gases.

A carrier gas supplied from a carrier gas source is injected from a carrier gas injection nozzle. Also, a fuel including a hydrocarbon-based liquid and supplied from a fuel source is supplied to a tip end of the carrier gas injection nozzle, whereby this fuel is atomized with the carrier gas injected from the carrier gas injection nozzle. Furthermore, an inlet of a reforming part that decomposes the atomized fuel and reforms the atomized fuel into a reducing gas including either or both of hydrogen and an oxygen-containing hydrocarbon is provided so as to face the carrier gas injection nozzle and the fuel supply nozzle, and a reducing gas supply nozzle that supplies the reducing gas discharged from an outlet of the reforming part is provided in an exhaust pipe.

In some embodiments, an apparatus for treating an exhaust gas in a foreline of a substrate processing system includes a plasma source coupled to a foreline of a process chamber, a reagent source coupled to the foreline upstream of the plasma source, and a foreline gas injection kit coupled to the foreline to controllably deliver a gas to the foreline, wherein the foreline injection kit includes a pressure regulator to set a foreline gas delivery pressure setpoint, and a first pressure gauge coupled to monitor a delivery pressure of the gas.

The catalytic device has a connection region, a first double pipe region, a triple pipe region, and a second double pipe region. The connection region, the first double pipe region, the triple pipe region, and the second double pipe region are arranged in this order from the upstream side toward the downstream side in the exhaust direction. A sealing member having heat insulating property is sandwiched between the inner pipe and the outer pipe in the second double pipe region. The passageway between the introduction pipe and the inner pipe in the triple pipe region, the passageway between the introduction pipe and the outer pipe in the first double pipe region, and the passageway between the inner pipe and the outer pipe in the triple pipe region are in communication.

The present invention relates to a flue ozone distributor applied in a low-temperature oxidation denitrification technology and an arrangement manner thereof. The flue ozone distributor comprises a distribution main pipe, multiple distribution branch pipes, multiple Venturi distributors and multiple delta wings. The multiple distribution branch pipes are led out from the distribution main pipe as parallel branches. The multiple Venturi distributors are arranged with an equal space on the distribution branch pipes. The delta wings are arranged on one diffusion segment side of the Venturi distributors. The flue ozone distributor is arranged in the flue. The present invention is mainly applied in a field of denitrification for flue gas of an industrial boiler/kiln by a low-temperature ozone oxidation method in industries such as pyroelectricity, steel and the like. The ozone-injecting direction is consistent with a flow direction of the flue gas. A soot deposit congestion problem does not exist. A turbulent flow behavior of the flue gas and ozone is especially strengthened. The oxidation efficiency is improved. A flue distance of a valid reaction is shortened. An application advantage in an actual project is very obvious.

A gas treatment apparatus for treating nitrogen oxide exhaust using ozone includes an ozone generator; a mass flow controller, controlling the gas flow amount flowing to the ozone generator; a reaction chamber; and a neutralizing chamber, provided with a third gas inlet and a fourth gas outlet. The reaction chamber includes an ozone inlet located on the side of the reaction chamber, an ozone sprayer installed inside the reaction chamber and connected to the ozone inlet, an exhaust gas inlet located on the top surface of the reaction chamber away from the center, an exhaust gas inlet tube and a third gas outlet. The exhaust gas inlet tube is provided with a connecting end and an inclined end. The inclined end and the exhaust gas inlet are connected to the outer side of the top of the reaction chamber.
