A portable electric powered or pneumatic powered paint system designed to worn in a typical workman's tool belt and thus accompany the painter as he moves from wall to wall and room to room without the restriction of electrical cords plugged into wall outlets or air hoses connected to an air compressor. The electrically powered embodiment of the invention consists of a paint reservoir, an electric paint pump, a power pack of two or more 18 Volt batteries, a paint applicator and associated paint supply tubing for transfer of paint from the reservoir to the paint applicator. The pneumatic embodiment of the invention replaces the electric paint pump and battery power pack with a pressurized air bottle and pressure regulator. Both embodiments of the invention provide the painter with a self-contained powered painting system.

A carrier is provided for high pressure processing of food (HPP), beverage, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, or biological products at moderate temperatures in horizontal machines. The carrier includes a cylindrical body, an inner space to accommodate the products, and one or more small openings longitudinally distributed along the carrier side wall. The carrier also has one or several inner pieces, acting as ballast, placed on the diametrically opposite side wall of the openings. The one or several inner pieces are coated by one or more sheets of a material with high adiabatic heating properties upon compression.

Fuel mixed in water is combusted in a reactor having an internal operating pressure and temperature greater than 3200 psi and greater than 374? C., where the combustion of the fuel is exothermic. Air and fuel are pressurized for introduction into the reactor to a pressure greater than the internal operating pressure using energy generated from the combustion of the fuel, and the pressurized air and the pressurized fuel are injected into the reactor. Pressurized water from the reactor is injected into a drive water column that is partially filled with water to increase a pressure of the drive water column, and water at a temperature less than 100? C. is injected into the reactor to replace water from the reactor that is injected into the drive water column. Pressurized water from the drive water column is used to drive a hydroelectric drive system to produce electrical power.

A process for synthesis of urea from ammonia and carbon dioxide wherein: the urea synthesis is performed with a stripping process in a synthesis loop including at least a reactor (1), a stripper (2) and a condenser (3); the reactor effluent is treated in the stripper to remove unreacted ammonia and carbon dioxide; the urea solution (14) from the stripper is sent to a low-pressure recovery section (4); the stripper vapours are split into a first portion (151) directed to the reactor and a second portion (152) sent to the condenser; the condenser (3) is a shell-and-tube kettle condenser where condensation of stripper vapours is performed in the tube side (30); a carbamate-containing effluent (20) from the condenser is returned to the reactor.

In a general aspect, a system can include a reactor for combusting fuel and producing high-temperature, high-pressure liquid as a byproduct, and at least one vessel defining a cavity to be partially filled with water, with an air pocket within the cavity above the water. The system can further include respective valves to control admission of liquid from the reactor into the air pocket when the air pocket has a pressure lower than an operating pressure of the reactor, and to control emission of the water from the at least one vessel through of the vessel after the water in the at least one vessel has been pressurized by the liquid from the reactor. The system can also include a hydroelectric drive system for receiving water emitted from the cavity, and for converting energy in the received water into electrical energy.

A reactor vessel (1) for biomass material, wherein said reactor vessel (1) is a pressurized reactor vessel, said reactor vessel being elongated and comprising: a substantially tubular vessel part (3); two gables (5a, 5b) connected one to each end (19a, 19b) of the tubular vessel part (3), hereby enclosing a vessel internal compartment (7); and a material transporting screw (8) comprising a central shaft (9) provided within the vessel internal compartment (7) extending between the two gables (5a, 5b) along a central axis (A) of the reactor vessel (1), wherein said material transporting screw further comprises screw flight (11) provided around the shaft (9), wherein said material transporting screw is configured for transporting the biomass material through the reactor vessel, wherein both gables (5a, 5b) are inwardly dished.

A pressure release mechanism for use with a capsule for processing materials or growing crystals in supercritical fluids is disclosed. The capsule with the pressure release mechanism is scalable up to very large volumes and is cost effective according to a preferred embodiment. In conjunction with suitable high pressure apparatus, the capsule with pressure release mechanism is capable of processing materials at pressures and temperatures of 20-2000 MPa and 25-1500 C., respectively. Of course, there can be other variations, modifications, and alternatives.

A vessel system for high-pressure reactions is disclosed. The system includes a plugged polymer cylinder reaction vessel with a pressure vent opening extending radially through the wall of the reaction vessel and a supporting frame into which the vessel is received. Complementing keying structure elements on the vessel and on the frame limit the orientation of the reaction vessel in the supporting frame and the radially extending vent opening to a defined single position.
