  • Cyclone exchanger with tranquilizing tank and method for purifying and decontaminating air
    Patent number: 5968231
    Abstract: A device and a method for purifying and decontaminating air uses an exchanger of the cyclone type and furthermore employs a combination of the action of cyclonic centrifugation and the action of at least one path enhancing field. A tranquilizing chamber, which is separated from the cyclone exchanger by a vent, maintains a volume of liquid into which particles and droplets are received from the peripheral wall. To this end, particulates are partially electrified before entering the enhancing field.
    Type: Grant

    Assignee: Grignotage, (SARL)
    Inventors: Michel Parmentier, Jean-Charles Weber
  • Method for the separation of a hydrophobic liquid phase melted medium into high and low melting point fractions
    Patent number: 5792358
    Abstract: A method for separating an oil or anhydrous fat in hydrophobic liquid phase into a high melting point fraction and a low melting point fraction. The method comprises a step of tangential flow filtration of oil or the anhydrous fat in hydrophilic liquid phase on a hydrophobic membrane to cause separation of the oil or anhydrous fat into a retentate constituting a high melting point fraction and an ultrafiltrate constituting a low melting point fraction. The method is useful for producing butter with hard or soft texture characteristics.

  • Process and device for treating working atmosphere using a cyclone exchanger
    Patent number: 5766314
    Abstract: A process for the pollution-cleaning treatment of air combines the actions of dehumidification, thermal control, washing of the gases, fixing of the particles, disinfection, spraying and vaporization. An apparatus is provided for implementing the process, and includes a cyclone exchanger or a pseudo-cyclone exchanger which includes a nozzle for injecting a fixing liquid into the inlet stream.

  • Apparatus for the removal of vapors and vapor products
    Patent number: 4957520
    Abstract: A device for removing (i.e., suction, capture and trapping) vapors and products carried by the vapors, for placement above a system for cooking food products in water or oil, circulates the exhaust gases in a cyclone having cooled walls to cause cold-wall condensation of the exhaust gases over the flow path through the cyclone.
