Abstract: Systems and methods for remote monitoring of refrigeration systems to detect leaks of refrigerant include a local monitoring station, having at least one sensor configured to be in communication with a refrigeration system having refrigerant, the sensor measuring at least one parameter of the refrigeration system. At least one server is in communication with the local monitoring station and accessible by at least one user communication device. Software residing at least partially on the local monitoring station and/or the server: records data from the sensor periodically to generate recorded sensor data; collects the recorded sensor data over time to generate collected sensor data; determines via at least one algorithm, using the collected sensor data, whether a refrigerant leak is occurring in the refrigeration system being monitored to thereby generate a state of the refrigeration system; and communicates the state of the refrigeration system to the at least one server.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for separating a plurality of chemical components from a chemical mixture comprising a plurality of fluorinated fluids, the method comprising: ? a step of identifying, in the chemical mixture, at least two sub-mixtures, each complex sub-mixture being associated either with a first group for secondary pressure swing distillation or with a second group (G2) for secondary extractive distillation, ? a step of primary distillation, using a main column, so as to separate each identified sub-mixture, ? a secondary distillation step, using the same advanced unit of two auxiliary columns, for distilling each complex sub-mixture, the complex sub-mixtures of the first group being separated by the pressure swing distillation method and the complex sub-mixtures of the second group being separated by the extractive distillation method.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system for measuring the filling level of a container, by means of acoustic waves, the system comprising at least three transducers configured to be positioned at different vertical heights on the outer face of the cylindrical portion of the casing, each transducer being configured to emit, upon receiving a first electric signal, an incident acoustic wave at the outer face of a wall of the casing, and to emit a second electric signal upon receiving a reflected acoustic wave generated by the reflection of the incident acoustic wave on the inner face of the wall, and at least one calculation unit configured to determine, based on the electric signals and physical properties of the monophase fluids, the presence of the first monophase fluid at each vertical height of the transducers.
