APPARATUS, SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MANAGEMENT OF RAW WATER AND EMISSIONS UTILIZING HEAT AND/OR PRESSURE ENERGY WITHIN COMBUSTION GAS SOURCES
The invention relates to methods, systems and apparatus for distributed management of raw water and internal combustion engine (ICE) gas emissions generated during industrial operations. One aspect of the invention at least partially utilizes a hot gas air knife to increase or partially increase surface area between a raw water and a hot gas in order to vaporize a proportion of the aqueous phase of the raw water and concentrate contaminants within a residual raw water concentrate. The water vapor generated by the vaporization process may be demisted, discharged directly to the atmosphere or alternatively condensed and captured for use. Another aspect relates to how the liquids and gasses interact to continuously flush the surfaces of the system which may help mitigate scaling issues. The invention may help facilitate rapid transfer of ICE combustion gas particulate and ICE combustion gas chemicals onto and into the raw water as it concentrates.

Systems and methods for removing ammonia from an ammonia-containing liquid
A system and method for removing ammonia from an ammonia-containing liquid is described. The system comprises a primary heat exchanger 12 for heating the ammonia-containing liquid to operational temperature, an ammonia stripper 14 for stripping ammonia from the ammonia-containing liquid from the primary heat exchanger and discharging it as ammonia-containing gas, and an acid scrubber 16 for reacting the ammonia in the ammonia-containing gas with acid to form an ammonium salt. The acid scrubber comprises a scrubbed air outlet 32 in fluid communication with a hot air inlet 20 of the ammonia stripper, such that scrubbed air which is discharged from the acid scrubber may be recycled for use in the ammonia stripper. Also described is a system and method for removing ammonia from an ammonia-containing liquid, wherein the system comprises a cold-water scrubber for removing ammonia from the ammonia-containing gas discharged from the ammonia stripper.
SPRAY PYROLYSIS SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURE OF MIXED METAL OXIDE COMPOSITIONS
A spray pyrolysis system and method are described for manufacture of mixed metal oxide compositions, e.g., mixed metal oxide catalyst compositions having utility for gas processing applications such as hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, reduction, and oxidation. Mixed metal oxide automotive exhaust catalyst compositions produced by such system and method achieve a substantial reduction in temperatures required for removal of automotive exhaust pollutant species, as compared to catalyst produced by conventional batch precipitation techniques. The spray pyrolysis system and method enable catalytic metal(s) to be integrally incorporated in the mixed metal oxide composition, thereby obviating a separate catalytic metal impregnation operation.
MOISTURE REMOVAL DEVICE USING ROTATING DISK AND NITROGEN PEELING
Proposed is a moisture removal device using a rotating disk and nitrogen peeling according to the present disclosure may include a circulation pump unit for circulating the oil in the storage tank connected to the circulation pump on one side of the device body via a valve, a chamber for exposing the oil circulated through the circulation pump unit into the chamber headspace through the rotation of the plurality of rotating disks, and a membrane unit that supplies dry nitrogen gas to oil exposed in the chamber headspace through rotation of a plurality of rotating disks of the chamber. The moisture removal device may remove free moisture, emulsified moisture, and dissolved moisture in oil contaminated with moisture through dry nitrogen gas purging by using a continuously rotating disk.
