A method for reducing emissions from a vessel includes isolating the vessel from a downstream fluid flow line, purging a fluid from the vessel by injecting purging media into the vessel to push the fluid through a check valve of a vent tubing and into the downstream fluid flow line, and draining the purging media from the vessel. A first end of the vent tubing is coupled to the housing of the vessel, and a second end of the vent tubing is coupled to the downstream fluid flow line. Further, the vent tubing includes a check valve disposed between the first end and the second end, and the check valve is configured to allow fluid to flow from the housing to the downstream fluid flow line.

Device for cleaning, disinfecting and unblocking drains of kitchen and bathroom sinks, waste disposal units and other uses

A device is provided to clean, disinfect, and unclog a plumbing outlet. The device includes a cylindrical body (2) defining a fluid conduit between a first end configured to fit to a tap of pressurized fluid outlet (3). The cylindrical body has a diameter reducer (21) that narrows in diameter from the first end to a second end and forms an internal housing (22). The diameter reducer (22) induces a Venturi effect in water passing therethrough from the tap of pressurized fluid outlet (3). The device further includes a tube in fluid communication with the second end, a dome receiving an end of the tube and configured to surround the plumbing outlet and through which the water passes to clean, disinfect and unclog the plumbing outlet. A bar (5) of detergent or another chemical operative to clean, disinfect or unclog is configured to reside in the internal housing (22).

Painting device

The present application is related to reducing the paint left inside the piping of the painting device. More specifically the present application is directed to a painting device that includes: a paint output part for outputting paint towards an object to be painted; a paint piping for the paint to pass through towards the paint output part; and a steel ball provided inside the paint piping; and a paint supply part supplying the paint to the paint piping from a side opposite to the paint output part. After the paint supply part stops supplying of the paint, the steel ball moves inside the paint piping towards the paint output part while the paint output part outputs the paint towards the object to be painted. The first moving fluid causes the steel ball to move inside the paint piping towards the paint output part by pushing the steel ball.
