  • Publication number: 20230295824
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for separating a product gas from an electrolysis medium, and for drying the product gas separated from the electrolysis medium. The apparatus includes a vessel, defining in its interior a liquid phase part and a gas phase part, whereby the liquid phase part and the gas phase part are immediately adjacent to each other, wherein the liquid phase part is configured to separate the product gas from the electrolysis medium loaded with product gas, to obtain a degassed electrolysis medium, and wherein the gas phase part is configured to dry the product gas separated from the electrolysis medium. The apparatus also includes an inlet for the supply of the electrolysis medium to the interior of the vessel, an outlet for discharging the degassed electrolysis medium from the vessel, and an outlet for discharging the separated product gas from the interior of the vessel.

  • Patent number: 11221178
    Abstract: A heat exchanger with several plates arranged in parallel is provided. The heat exchanger has a first series of passages for channeling at least one first fluid and a second series of passages for channeling at least one second fluid. The second fluid being in a heat-exchange relationship with at the first fluid. A mixer is arranged in the passage of the first series. The mixer has at least one first channel for the flow of a first phase of the first fluid in a flow direction. The mixer has at least one second channel for the flow of a second phase of the first fluid. The mixer has at least one opening fluidically connecting the first channel to the second channel.

  • Patent number: 11066347
    Abstract: Plant and process for the production of liquid methane from a feed gas stream comprising at least methane and carbon dioxide. A feed gas stream is injected into a CO2 crystallizer in countercurrent fashion against a stream of predominantly liquid methane, thereby crystallizing amounts of carbon dioxide from the feed gas stream. Gaseous methane recovered from the CO2 crystallizer is liquefied at a liquefaction exchanger.
