Abstract: A compressor component having an improved airfoil profile so as to eliminate previously known vibratory issues in the blade tip is disclosed. By altering the airfoil profile throughout its span, the natural frequency of the airfoil is altered so as to not coincide with a critical engine order of the compressor. Further, the present invention provides a novel airfoil profile in accordance with the coordinates of Table 1.

Abstract: An air quality control system (AQCS) 214 useful for treating flue gas FG, such as flue gas FG produced by a fossil fuel fired boiler 212 is described. The AQCS 214 is equipped with a dry scrubber 236 and a radial fabric filter 254 with a central chimney 216. The radial fabric filter 254 collects particulates and dried reacted reducing agent from flue gas FG drawn through the radial fabric filter 254 by an axial fan 288 arranged within the central chimney 216.
Abstract: A method of drying a wet carbon dioxide rich gas stream is disclosed. The method includes: feeding a wet carbon dioxide rich gas stream into a dryer unit, bringing the wet carbon dioxide rich gas stream in contact with a hygroscopic salt in the dryer unit, whereby a dry carbon dioxide rich gas stream and brine are formed, withdrawing the dry carbon dioxide rich gas stream from the dryer unit, and withdrawing the brine from the dryer unit. A system includes a method of drying.
