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.

Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method and system for sulfur recovery. A Claus tail gas stream is fed to a hydrogenation reactor to produce a hydrogenated gas stream. The hydrogenated gas stream is fed to a quench tower to produce a quenched gas stream. The quenched gas stream is fed to a first stage adsorption vessel of first stage adsorption unit to produce a first outlet gas stream. The first outlet gas stream is fed to a second stage adsorption vessel of a second stage adsorption unit to produce a second byproduct gas stream. The first stage adsorption vessel is regenerated to produce a first byproduct gas stream. The second stage adsorption vessel is regenerated to produce a second outlet gas stream including hydrogen sulfide. Optionally, a portion of the second byproduct gas stream or nitrogen can be fed to the first stage adsorption vessel or the second stage adsorption vessel for regeneration. Optionally, a sales gas can be fed to the second stage adsorption vessel for regeneration. Optionally, vacuum can be applied to the first stage adsorption vessel or the second stage adsorption vessel for regeneration.

A process for separating carbon dioxide from a waste gas of a fluid catalytic cracking installation including converting at least a portion of the carbon monoxide of the waste gas into carbon dioxide to form a flow enriched in carbon dioxide, separating at least a portion of the flow enriched in carbon dioxide to form a gas enriched in carbon dioxide and depleted in nitrogen and a gas rich in nitrogen and depleted in carbon dioxide, and at least a portion of the gas enriched in carbon dioxide and depleted in nitrogen is separated by way of separation at a temperature of less than 0° C. to form a fluid rich in carbon dioxide and a fluid depleted in carbon dioxide and sending a gas containing at least 90% oxygen to combustion.

Provided is a carbon dioxide recovery system including: an absorption tower; a regeneration tower that takes in an absorbing solution that has absorbed carbon dioxide at the absorption tower, and separates the carbon dioxide from the absorbing solution using regenerated steam to regenerate the absorbing solution; first supply piping that supplies the absorbing solution regenerated in the regeneration tower to the absorption tower; a reclaimer that takes in part of the absorbing solution regenerated in the regeneration tower to remove degraded material and supplies the absorbing solution from which the degraded material has been removed to the regeneration tower or the first supply piping; an in-line viscometer that measures a viscosity of the absorbing solution flowing through the first supply piping; and a controller that controls an amount of the absorbing solution processed by the reclaimer based on the viscosity measured by the in-line viscometer.

The present disclosure provides systems and methods useful in capture of one more moieties (e.g., carbon dioxide) from a gas stream (i.e., direct air capture). In various embodiments, the systems and methods can utilize at least a scrubbing unit, a regeneration unit, and an electrolysis unit whereby an alkali solution can be used to strip the moiety (e.g., carbon dioxide) from the gas stream, the removed moiety can be regenerated and optionally purified for capture or other use, and a formed salt can be subjected to electrolysis to recycle the alkali solution back to the scrubber for re-use with simultaneous production of one or more further chemicals.

A carbon processing system comprises an air mover and a multi-stage reactor. The multi-stage reactor processes ambient air and generates carbon dioxide and generates exhausted gas released to ambient air. In operation, air contacts the base solution via the air mover. The air reacts with the base solution thereby generating a base solution having carbon dioxide and generating exhaust (absorption reaction). Next, the exhaust is released from the reactor. Next, heat is applied to the base solution having carbon dioxide thereby generating carbon dioxide and generating a base solution without carbon dioxide (desorption reaction). The base solution without carbon dioxide generated after applying heat is reusable in processing new air. The absorption reaction and desorption reaction are reversible reactions resulting in regeneration of the base solution into its form prior to contact with the air yielding high scalability and less processing volume as required by many conventional carbon processing techniques.
