A breather device (1) for dehumidifying air to be supplied into an expansion vessel (103) of a power electrical device (100), said breather device comprising an air demoisturizer unit (2) including one or more tanks (21), each tank having an internal volume (20) accommodating a regenerable moisture absorbing substance and a heater (23) for regenerating said moisture absorbing substance, at least a first opening (25) configured to put the internal volume of said tank in fluid-dynamic communication with the external environment and at least a second opening (22) configured to allow a flow of air to exit from the internal volume of said tank towards another section of said breather device.

Each tank (21) comprises at least a third opening (24) in fluid-dynamic communication with the external environment and valve means (26) operatively associated to said third opening, said valve means (26) being configured to automatically allow or prevent a flow of air to pass through said third opening, depending on the internal temperature of said tank.

A method, and a support vessel for use in the system. The system can in various embodiments include: a carrier vessel for carrying fluid hydrocarbon cargo across sea, the hydrocarbon cargo to be loaded into at least one cargo tank of the vessel; a support vessel; VOC recovery means on the support vessel for recovering volatile organic compounds, VOCs, the VOCs being produced from the cargo tank in loading the cargo tank, in use; and at least one hose extending between the carrier vessel and the support vessel for communicating gas having volatile organic compounds, VOCs, through the hose from the cargo tank of the carrier vessel to the VOC recovery means on the support vessel.

In some implementations, a system for removing oxygen from a container includes a recirculation pump and an oxygen removal device. The recirculation pump includes an intake and a discharge, and the intake includes a first connector. The discharge is fluidically connected to an oxygen removal device.

The present invention relates to a reusable food storage container designed to store food items while preventing the odor of stored food from being retained in the container material. The container has a base comprised of odor-resistant material, such as stainless steel or glass, and has a lid with an embedded replaceable charcoal filter. The charcoal filter is configured to absorb odor emanating from stored food items. The container can comprise different sizes, designs, shapes, and colors and can be washed and reused. In one embodiment, a lid of the container has a cavity for embedding the charcoal filter, and in another embodiment, the bottom surface of the lid has a frame with a continuous channel for accommodating the charcoal filter. The lid is configured to seal the stored food material using a skirt wall for preserving the food items.

Electronic device processing assemblies including an equipment front end module (EFEM) with at least one side storage pod attached thereto are described. The side storage pod has a side storage container. In some embodiments, an exhaust conduit extends between the chamber and a pod plenum that can contain a chemical filter proximate thereto. A supplemental fan may draw purge gas from the pod plenum through the chemical filter and route the gas through a return duct to an upper plenum of the EFEM. Methods and side storage pods in accordance with these and other embodiments are also disclosed.

An air composition adjusting device includes: an oxygen separator that separates oxygen from external air to be supplied to a target space; a gas supply path including a high concentration gas supply path for oxygen through which the oxygen separator communicates with the target space; and a controller that performs an oxygen concentration raising operation of supplying a high oxygen concentration gas, which has a higher oxygen concentration than external air before being treated by the oxygen separator, to the target space through the high concentration gas supply path for oxygen.

The invention generally relates to a process for purifying a hydrogen gas for use in a fuel cell. The process involves taking a hydrogen feed stream from a high-pressure tank and passing it through a purifier comprising an adsorbent to provide a purified hydrogen stream which is sent to a fuel cell. A particular adsorbent which can be used is a metal-organic framework composition. The adsorbent can be housed in a device such as a canister or cartridge having an inlet and outlet port.

A hybrid nitrogen gas generation system includes a membrane nitrogen gas generator and a pressure swing absorption nitrogen generator. A gas comprising nitrogen is purified to a first nitrogen purity using one of the membrane nitrogen gas generator and the pressure swing absorption nitrogen generator. The gas is either bypassed around the other of the membrane nitrogen gas generator and the pressure swing absorption nitrogen generator to provide the gas having the first nitrogen purity or the gas is purified to a second nitrogen purity using the other of the membrane nitrogen gas generator and the pressure swing absorption nitrogen generator.

A fuel oxidation system including an inlet in fluid communication with an interior of a sealed container, and the sealed container is holding permeated gas released from a pressure vessel within the sealed container. Another inlet is in fluid communication with an environment surrounding the sealed container, and the environment includes oxygen gas (O.sub.2). An oxidation module is in fluid communication with the inlet and the other inlet, and the oxidation module is combining the permeated gas received by the inlet with the oxygen gas (O.sub.2) received by the other inlet to form a preferred substance.

Disclosed are daucus-based oxygen scavenging compositions and materials, particularly of the carrot species, and their methods of use in containers and packaging of oxygen sensitive products. Further disclosed are daucus-based oxygen scavenging materials used in combination with tea-based oxygen scavenging compositions. Such compositions, materials and containers are of use for preserving the shelf-life of a myriad of products such as foods, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, tobacco and cannabis.
