Abstract: The present invention comprises a fish guidance rack (2) for use in a fish guidance system in a watercourse (W) at a run-of-river hydropower plant or a water intake. The rack comprises a series of vertical bars (1) mounted on a rack frame (7) along a longitudinal axis (L) of the rack between a first end (5) of the rack and a second end (6) of the rack. The rack comprises bars with a hydrodynamic curved form, and a generally increasing inter-bar spacing (sb) in the downstream direction.

Abstract: A gas separation unit for the separation of carbon dioxide from air is proposed for use in a cyclic adsorption/desorption process and using a loose particulate sorbent material. Sorbent material is arranged in at least two stacked layers, and each layer comprises two sheets of a flexible fabric material which is gas permeable but impermeable to the loose sorbent material. The sheets are arranged parallel defining an inlet face and an outlet face, are arranged with a distance in the range of 0.5-2.5 cm, and are enclosing a cavity in which the sorbent material is located. Said layers are arranged in the unit such that the inflow passes through the inlet face, subsequently through the particular sorbent material located in the cavity of the respective layer, subsequently to exit the layer through the outlet face to form the gas outflow.
