Abstract: A passive spine elongation device has a front portion and a rear portion pivotally connected to the front leg portion. An adjustment device connected to the front portion and the rear portion allows the distance between the front and leg portions to be adjusted, thereby allowing a variable apex angle and adjustable height of the same. The front portion includes a head support, a torso support and a pelvic/hip support. The rear portion includes a leg support. The head support is spaced from the torso support, while the torso support is also spaced from the pelvic/hip support.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for removing a condensate from a synthetic gas treatment system. The method includes feeding a first fluid stream into a bottom section of a scrubber chamber defined by a scrubber shell of a scrubber. The first fluid stream includes at least one condensable component. A second fluid stream is fed into a top section of the scrubber chamber, such that the second fluid stream flows in the scrubber chamber in a countercurrent flow direction to the first fluid stream. The second fluid stream contacts the first fluid stream causing the at least one condensable component to form the condensate, such that the condensate and the second fluid stream are collected in the bottom section of the scrubber chamber. The method further includes feeding a third fluid stream into the top section of the scrubbing chamber, such that the third fluid stream contacts the condensate and the second fluid stream and forms an emulsion.
