Abstract: A conduit-receiving device for receiving a conduit on a packing means handling machine has conduit carriers held along a course of the conduit-receiving device. The carriers are spaced apart from one another by being latched to a wall element of the machine. Each conduit carrier has a base section adjacent to the wall element, and an upper arm section that latches to a first profile section of the wall element to hold the conduit carrier. The upper arm section projects away from the base section. The conduit carrier is held to a second profile section of the wall element by a rear of the base section.

Abstract: A method for testing tightness of container includes placing a bell-shaped test head over a mouth of the container, sealing the container against the test head, accommodating at least a portion of the container in a testing chamber within the test head, increasing a pressure difference between a pressure within the testing chamber and an internal pressure of the container, identifying evidence of matter exiting the container and entering the testing chamber. Typical evidence includes emergence of filling substance into the testing chamber and/or foaming of the filling substance in the testing chamber. Identifying such evidence includes using a camera to monitor either the region of the container or the test chamber for the evidence.

Abstract: In a process for preparing nitric acid, nitrogen oxides are first generated in an ammonia combustion plant (2), and these are then supplied to at least one absorption tower (4, 5). In the absorption tower (4, 5), the nitrogen oxides are contacted in the water and oxygen, with at least partial reaction of the nitrogen-containing gas mixture with the water and the oxygen to form an aqueous nitric acid-containing solution which collects at the base of the absorption tower (4, 5) and is subsequently compressed and introduced via a riser line (12, 14, 21) back into the absorption tower (4, 5). In order to minimize the concentration of nitrogen oxides in the offgas from such a plant, it is proposed in accordance with the invention that oxygen be introduced in liquid form or gaseous form into a region of the riser line (12, 14, 21) that is lower in a geodetic sense. This promotes the dissolution of the oxygen and the reaction of the oxygen with likewise dissolved nitrogen oxides to give nitric acid.
