Abstract: Process and plant for membrane permeation treatment of a carbon dioxide and methane-containing biogas stream in which the biogas stream is compressed with a compressor and the compressed biogas stream is fed to a membrane separation unit comprising first and second modules each containing at least one membrane selective for carbon dioxide over methane. The first module separates the compressed biogas stream into a first, second, and third methane-deficient permeates (in comparison to the biogas stream) and a first methane-enriched retentate (in comparison to the biogas stream). The first permeate being richer in methane than the second or third permeates. The second module separates the first permeate into a fourth methane-deficient permeate and a second methane-enriched retentate. The second and third retentates are recycled back to an inlet of the compressor.

Abstract: A process for manufacturing a gas diffusion device includes providing a superposition of a composite layer and of an electrically conductive element, the composite layer including electrically conductive fibers and a polymerizable resin impregnating the conductive fibers, and the electrically conductive element having an open porosity between a first face and a second face. The process also includes compressing the superposition of the composite layer and of the conductive element so as to bring said conductive fibers into contact with the first face of the element, so as to make said resin flow into said element without the resin impregnating all the volume of said conductive element; and polymerizing the resin.

Abstract: A measuring system includes a detector having an optical waveguide including a primary dopant capable of transmuting, by neutron capture, into a stable secondary dopant that is less neutron-absorbent than the primary dopant, a moderation layer suitable for slowing down fast neutrons, and an analysis device connected to the detector. The analysis device is configured to inject, into the waveguide, an interrogation wave having a wavelength corresponding to an absorption peak of the secondary dopant, detect a response wave emitted by the waveguide, calculate, from the detected response wave, a piece of information relating to a concentration of secondary dopant in the waveguide, and, based on the information relating to the calculated concentration of secondary dopant, determine a fluence of fast neutrons during a predetermined secondary period.

Abstract: A method for sizing a greyscale lithography mask is disclosed. The mask includes first opaque zones, being opaque to light-exposing radiation, located in first pixels forming a first mask grating. A first target density of a first surface density of first opaque zones is first established. This first target density makes it possible to expose a resin to light over a first given target thickness when it is exposed to the radiation through the first grating. The dimensions of the first pixels and the dimensions of the first opaque zones are then established, such that the value of an error over the first target thickness is less than a first given threshold. The dimensions obtained for the sizing of the first mask grating are used.
