Abstract: An incinerator 20 for disposing of boil-off gas on an LNG carrier comprises a combustion chamber 42 wherein the boil-off gas admitted at 40 is burned in the presence of combustion air admitted at 44, producing a flame 46 and combustion products C. Dilution air A is delivered into the combustion chamber 42 and mixed with the combustion products C to produce a diluted mixture M. The combustion chamber 42 has an inner wall 48 and an outer wall 50 together defining a first passage 52 through which the dilution air A is passed before being mixed with the combustion products C, whereby the dilution air A cools the incinerator 20. The dilution air A in the first passage 52 also provides a thermally insulting layer limiting radial heat transmission from the combustion chamber 42. A flue 58 is configured and arranged so that the flame 46 is enclosed.

Abstract: Described is an ester mixture of 1-cyclohexylethan-1-yl butyrate and 1-cyclohexylethan-1-yl acetate wherein the weight ratio of 1-cyclohexylethan-1-yl butyrate:1-cyclohexylethan-1-yl acetate is from about 20:80 up to about 80:20. The mixture is synergistically effective for its ability to counteract a malodour (1) emanating from a malodourous solid or liquid source into a 3-space proximate the solid or liquid source or (2) present in a malodourous air 3-space.

Abstract: This invention pertains to a method of counteracting a malodor in a solid or liquid, soap or detergent caused by a compound selected from the group consisting of lower carboxylic acids, thiols, thiophenols, phenols, lower amines, phosphines, arsines, lower alcohols, and lower ketones. The method comprises introducing into the solid or liquid, soap or detergent an effective malodor counteracting amount of a malodor counteracting compound selected from the group consisting of 1-cyclohexyl-ethyl-butyrate, 1-cyclohexyl-ethyl-acetate, 1-cyclohexyl-ethanol, 4-isopropyl-cyclohexyl-propionate, and phenoxyacetic acid 2-hydroxy-ethyl ester. The perceived total odor intensity in the solid or liquid, soap or detergent is reduced and the perceived malodor intensity in the solid or liquid, soap or detergent is substantially eliminated. The malodor counteractant compositions may be used in a wide variety of solid or liquid, soaps or detergents.
