  • Method and apparatus for producing a pyrolysis liquid
    Patent number: 8668811
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an apparatus and a method for producing a pyrolysis liquid, wherein the pyrolysis liquid is formed by means of pyrolysis from a raw material by forming, and a pyrolysis reactor, a gaseous pyrolysis product by pyrolysis and condensing it in a condenser into a pyrolysis liquid, and feeding circulation gas into the pyrolysis reactor. The circulation gas is conducted by a liquid ring compressor into the pyrolysis reactor and purified before being conducted into the pyrolysis reactor, and the pyrolysis liquid is used as the liquid layer in the liquid ring compressor.

  • Method and an apparatus for removing carbon dioxide from sulphur dioxide containing flue gases
    Patent number: 7910079
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from sulphur dioxide containing (SO2) flue gases, wherein the flue gases are washed with washing solution in a scrubber, which comprises at least two washing stages. In the first washing stage the flue gases are washed for removing the sulphur dioxide in the flue gases and after that in the second washing stage for removing carbon dioxide (CO2). Sodium carbonate solution (Na2CO3) is used as washing solution in both the first and the second washing stages.
