A supercritical water oxidation vortex reactor has a reactor shell configured to contain a pressurized and heated material including water, a burner assembly configured to create a supercritical core region in the material in the reactor shell, the supercritical core region including water above its critical point, an injector assembly configured to inject into the enclosed volume a subcritical wash stream including water below its critical point and an aspirator arranged in the enclosed volume and configured to remove a processed flow including purified water from an upper portion of the supercritical core region. The supercritical water oxidation vortex reactor is configured with an upward helical flow to transfer precipitated ionic compounds out of the supercritical core region, through a transcritical intermediate region, and into the subcritical wash stream where they re-dissolve.

A piston pressure device includes a gas concentration-regulating piston pressure device and a high temperature autoclave. In the gas concentration-regulating piston pressure device, the proportion and concentration of corrosive gases can be accurately adjusted, intermediate gases can be stored and filled into the high temperature autoclave according to experimental needs, and an actual corrosion process in oilfield is accurately simulated.

In a method of treating a gas stream (32) containing combustible and/or reactive particles (34) at least a part of the particles (34) contained in the gas stream (32) is separated from the gas stream (32) by means of a separation device (36). The particles (34) separated from the gas stream (32) by means of the separation device (36) are supplied to a collecting vessel (40). The supply of particles (34) to the collecting vessel (40) is interrupted. A flame retardant material (57) is supplied to the collecting vessel (40) so as to form a cover layer of flame retardant material (57) on the particles (34) contained in the collecting vessel (40).

An aspect ratio flow metering device may comprise a concentrate inlet portion, one or more restricted flow portions of tubing fluidly connected to the concentrate inlet portion, and a metered concentrate outlet portion fluidly connected to the one or more restricted flow portion of tubing. The narrowest part of the one or more restricted flow portions of tubing may each have a length (R.sub.L): inner diameter (R.sub.ID) ratio of at least 10:1. The metered concentrate outlet portion may have an inner diameter (O.sub.ID) greater than R.sub.ID. The concentrate inlet portion may have an inner diameter (I.sub.ID) greater than R.sub.ID. The aspect ratio flow metering device may be structurally configured to limit flow of a concentrate into a hydrodynamic mixing apparatus. Also disclosed are methods for using the aspect ratio flow metering device to mix fluids.

Polymerization processes and reactor systems for producing multimodal ethylene polymers are disclosed in which at least one loop reactor and at least one fluidized bed reactor are utilized. Configurations include a loop reactor in series with a fluidized bed reactor and two loop reactors in series with a fluidized bed reactor.

An easily polymerizable substance handling device is provided that can prevent generation of irregularities and steps between a pipeline and a cover member due to the cover member being installed at an opening part of the pipeline. A cover part 3 is formed to have a curved surface 3a on a side closer to inside of a pipeline 1. The shape of the surface 3a on the pipeline 1 side is preferably a concave shape when viewed from inside of the pipeline 1. The shape of the surface 3a of the cover part 3 on the pipeline 1 side is more preferably the shape of a curved surface having a curvature radius equal or approximate to that of the internal circumference of the pipeline 1. With this configuration, a polymer material is unlikely to be generated at the cover part 3 and around a gap 1b at an opening part 1a, and the frequency of cleaning can be reduced as compared to conventional cases.
