Restoring Cooling Tower Outlet Fog into Water Cycle Type II
The invented system used in wet cooling tower, restore outlet fog of cooling tower into collection basin and consequently cooling water cycle. This invention consists of three main components; pump and its pertaining piping, waterfall and micron fog eliminator. In the first stage, the air containing fog is passed through a waterfall before exhausting. This action causes some portions of fog to condensate and fall down, remaining droplets of the fog grow and together with air cross the fog eliminator blades. Fog's droplets are entrapped between blades, leave the air, and restore to the tower. Therefore, humidity of exhausted air from tower will be effectively reduced.
INHERENTLY SAFE OXYGEN/HYDROCARBON GAS MIXER
Provided herein is a gas mixer for the safe mixing of a hydrocarbon containing gas with a gaseous oxidant. The gas mixer and method for mixing described includes a closed mixing vessel where bubbles of gas injected at the bottom of the vessel are mixed during their rise to the top of the vessel, forming a homogeneous mixture that can safely be removed. This simple design and method allows for safe mixing of gases and is applicable to catalytic oxidative processes such as oxidative dehydrogenation of paraffins where there is a risk of thermal runaway of reactions.
PARALLEL PASSAGE CONTACTOR HAVING ACTIVE LAYERS
The present technology relates generally to parallel passage contactors having active layers and methods for its use. Particularly, the present technology relates to parallel passage contactors having active layers with sorbents and/or catalysts and methods of use in sorptive gas separation and/or catalytic reactions.
Stacked-plate distillation column
A distillation column including a plurality of alternating plates and spacers stacked in a z-direction is provided. The plates include a respective liquid channeling network on a top surface thereof, a respective vapor opening, and a respective descending ramp. The respective descending ramps abut a respective liquid feed location of the plate immediately below to form a continuous liquid channeling network. The respective vapor openings of adjacent plates are located on opposite sides of the distillation column and form a continuous S-shaped vapor channel defined by the plurality of alternating plates and spacers, and the respective vapor openings. Systems including such distillation columns and processes of distilling a fluid mixture are also provided.
Packing Element Placed Inside a Chamber to Promote Contact Between Circulating Fluids
The invention relates to a lining (10) intended to be positioned inside a chamber (1) to promote contact between fluids circulating inside said chamber, said lining comprising a plurality of separate criss-crossing strips (12): —first strips (12.1i) parallel to a first direction (D1) and defining a plurality of first planes spaced apart from each other, —second strips (12.2i) parallel to a second direction (D2) forming an angle with the first direction (D1) and defining a plurality of second planes spaced apart from each other. In each first plane, a free space separates two first adjacent strips I a direction perpendicular to the first direction and receives a second strip, the first and second strips being secured together. Each separate strip of at least one stage is perforated (12) and selected from a strip made from a stamped metal sheet and a strip made from an expanded metal sheet.
ELECTRIC STEAM CRACKER
A reactor system and a process for carrying out steam cracking of a feed gas comprising hydrocarbons is provided, i where the heat for the reaction is provided by resistance heating by means of electrical power, so that a product stream comprising at least one olefin compound is obtained.
Structured packing
The disclosure provides a structure that is used in the treatment of a fluid. The packing structure comprises a body having an axis. The packing structure also has at least one curved flow path that rotates around, and extends along at least a portion of, the axis of the body.
STACKED-PLATE DISTILLATION COLUMN
A distillation column including a plurality of alternating plates and spacers stacked in a z-direction is provided. The plates include a respective liquid channeling network on a top surface thereof, a respective vapor opening, and a respective descending ramp. The respective descending ramps abut a respective liquid feed location of the plate immediately below to form a continuous liquid channeling network. The respective vapor openings of adjacent plates are located on opposite sides of the distillation column and form a continuous S-shaped vapor channel defined by the plurality of alternating plates and spacers, and the respective vapor openings. Systems including such distillation columns and processes of distilling a fluid mixture are also provided.
ABSORPTION COLUMN COMPRISING A FEED BOX HAVING A SERRATED WEIR AND A STRUCTURED PACKING AND PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF NITRIC ACID
A vertical absorption column comprising a liquid distributor comprising a feed box having a serrated weir for distribution of a liquid through upward-pointing serrations of the serrated weir into perforated trays of the liquid distributor and located directly above a structured packing, a structured packing, a plate packing comprising a plurality of horizontal plates, provided with cooling means, an inlet for the addition of oxygen to the lower part of the vertical absorption column, an inlet for the process gas comprising nitrogen oxides from an ammonia oxidation process at the lower part of the vertical absorption column, an inlet for an aqueous solution at the upper part of the vertical absorption column, at least one nitric acid outlet at the bottom of the vertical absorption column and an outlet for tail gas comprising nitrogen oxides at the top of the vertical absorption column.
