Abstract: An atomizer system 160 for use in a spray dry absorber 130, the atomizer system 160 includes a support member 161, an atomizing disc 162 rotatably coupled to the support member 161, a first feed line 163 for delivery of a reagent slurry 163a to a delivery area 165 and a second feed line 164 for delivery of a dilution liquid 164a to the delivery area 165. The delivery area 165 is positioned within the atomizer system 160 to reduce scale buildup generated by interaction of the reagent slurry 163a and the dilution liquid 164a.

Abstract: In a method for reducing lime consumption in DFGD systems, a slaker is provided wherein lime and water is introduced to produce a slaked lime slurry. The slurry is introduced into a spray dryer wherein the slurry is atomized. A flue gas stream is also introduced into the spray dryer and reacts with the atomized slurry, causing calcium sulfate and sulfite, as well as unreacted lime particulate to form. A portion of the particulate is filtered and sent back in a substantially dry form to the slaker to form part of the slurry.

Abstract: An evaporative emission control system for an internal combustion engine isolates the fuel tank from the engine during purging of a carbon canister used to store fuel vapor drawn from the fuel tank during refueling. The flow of vapor from the tank to the canister is controlled by a main vapor control valve, and the flow of vapor from the canister to the engine is controlled by a purge valve. Pressure transducers are used to independently sense vapor pressure in the tank and in the canister. An electronic controller operates the valves based in part on the pressure information generated by the pressure transducers.

Abstract: A fuel system, a method for operating the fuel system and a method for operating an engine which is supplied by the fuel system each comprise: (1) a fuel tank; (2) a fuel vapor tank in fluid communication with the fuel tank by means of a first fuel vapor conduit; and (3) an engine in fluid communication with the fuel vapor tank by means of a second fuel vapor conduit. Within each of the fuel system and the two methods, there is captured, contained and compressed within the fuel vapor tank a fuel vapor extracted from the fuel tank when either: (1) refueling the fuel tank whether or not the engine is operating; (2) when the engine is operating whether or not refueling the fuel tank; or (2) immediately after shutting down the engine after having operated the engine. The fuel vapor within the fuel vapor tank may then be employed alone for restarting the engine, in absence of liquid fuel from the fuel tank.
