The invention concerns a method to select the smoke treating unit (3) of a system (1) of a roasting apparatus (2) and an associated smoke treating unit when said system is used in a room (10), said method comprising:—receiving room data input,—receiving roasting use data input in order to determine the quantity of each contaminant produced by the roasting apparatus during a period,—for each system of the roasting apparatus and of one smoke treating units, calculating the concentration of each contaminant present in the room during said period,—for each system and for each contaminant, comparing the calculated concentration of said contaminant present in the room during the period with the concentration of said contaminant authorised according to local health and safety regulations,—selecting the smoke treating unit of the system in the list of smoke treating units providing for each contaminant a calculated concentration inferior to the authorised concentration.

The present disclosure relates to a method for treating exhaust gas including a plasma reaction operation of reacting exhaust gas containing a volatile organic compound (VOC) with low-temperature plasma to generate exhaust gas containing a VOC-derived intermediate, and a combustion operation of combusting the exhaust gas containing the VOC-derived intermediate to produce carbon dioxide and water.

An emission reduction device for cooking fumes produced from smoking, frying and roasting is provided, which includes a purifying-tank shell. One end of the purifying-tank shell is provided with an air inlet and other end of the purifying-tank shell is provided with an air outlet. The device further includes a nebulizer, an ultrasonic coagulating unit, and an electrostatic deposition unit, which are sequentially arranged in the purifying-tank shell from the air inlet to the air outlet. A box body is connected to the air outlet of the purifying-tank shell, the box body is provided with a photocatalytic oxidation unit, a plasma catalytic oxidation assembly and an end filter unit therein. An exhaust port is installed on a rear side of the box body. Two sides of the ultrasonic coagulating unit are each provided with a flow rectifier which is longitudinally and slidably arranged in the purifying-tank shell.

This invention deals with an emission capture device with grease which is composed of a main duct, here it is connected to the outlet of the emitter of particles which are required to be treated (said emitter is conventional, such as an internal combustion engine exhaust, incinerator duct, meat roaster chimney, etc. Just to mention a few), it is then absorbed and propelled by an electric fan, from which its wind force drives the emissions into the emissions capture tank, the mechanism to dissolve the particulate emissions inside the tank is composed of, The mechanism to dissolve the emission particles inside the tank is composed of the main duct inside the tank, which reaches the upper part of the tank, making a spiral return to the lower part of the tank, having the main duct as its end, through which the emission already dissolved in the liquid comes out, between the mechanism to dissolve the emission and the walls of the tank it has four supports, in the upper part of the tank it has its outlet duct to the open air, it also has four liquid inlet ducts, At the bottom of the tank there are two outlets to drain the liquid and direct it to a cooling device, and from there it is transported through a duct to a decanter tank, which in its lower part has a decanter tank, and at the same time it is transported to the bottom of the tank, On one side of the decanter tank is a duct that is connected directly to a pump that is responsible for driving and supplying the liquid through its outlet duct directly to the ducts that are responsible for distributing the liquid to the emissions capture tank and its mechanism to dissolve the emissions that are treated there.

A scrubbing assembly for treating malodorous air by chemical scrubbing one or more chemical components from an influent airflow, particularly one or more chemical components that have become airborne from chemical intervention solutions used during food processing, such as vapors from peroxycarboxylic acid solutions used during food processing. The peroxycarboxylic acid vapors are removed from air in a continuous manner within the scrubber assembly utilizing a neutralizing chemical solution to provide a treated effluent airflow that can be returned back to the point of use area from which the malodorous air was removed for treatment.

An air purifier (100) includes a housing (400) formed with an air duct (401), an ozone generation device (20), an activated carbon purification unit (80), and a fan (200) arranged in the air duct (401). The air duct (401) includes an air inlet (402) and an air outlet (403). The air outlet (403) is disposed indoors. The ozone generation device (20) and the activated carbon purification unit (80) are arranged in the air duct (401) along the direction of the air inlet to the air outlet (403), and the ozone generation device (20) is used to generate ozone. The fan (200) is used to suck gas from the air inlet (402) during operation and let the gas pass through the ozone generation device (20) and the activated carbon purification unit (80) to be discharged from the air outlet (403) into the room.

A method and system to treat cooking emissions (e.g., smoke) employs a nanosecond high voltage pulse generator and a transient pulsed plasma reactor. The system is used in a scheme that substantially reduces particulate matter produced in commercial charbroiling processes (e.g., cooking of hamburger meat). Both a reduction in the size distribution and total particulate mass is achieved using the method and system described herein.

The invention disclosed herein relates to an odor control system including features to allow a media scrubber to function to treat a humid, or saturated, or superheated exhaust stream. In some embodiments, the system disclosed herein can capture a humid, or saturated, or superheated exhaust stream, such as from a kettle vent, and dilute the exhaust with fresh air to lower the temperature of the combined air flow below its dew point. Water is drained from the system as it condenses in the system. The combined air flow can be further diluted and/or treated according to embodiments disclosed herein such that the exhaust stream, after having excess water removed, will have a relative humidity (RH) value enabling it to be run through a media scrubber.

Disclosed herein are aluminum oxide aerogels and methods of making and use thereof. The methods of making the aluminum oxide aerogel include contacting a solid comprising aluminum with a Ga-based liquid alloy to dissolve at least a portion of the aluminum from the solid, thereby forming an aluminum-alloy mixture; and contacting the aluminum-alloy mixture with a fluid comprising water, thereby forming the aluminum oxide aerogel. In some examples, the methods can further comprise capturing and converting carbon dioxide to a syngas comprising carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
