Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems for removing tritium oxide from a mixture comprising water. The method captures the tritium oxide in a much smaller volume suitable for economical disposal. The decontaminated water may be then be discharged.

Abstract: The present invention is a novel method for removing tritium oxide contamination from a solution with water. The method captures the tritium oxide in a much smaller volume suitable for economical disposal. In so doing the original water is decontaminated of the tritium oxide and may be discharged.

Abstract: A method for concentrating contaminated sorbate in a solution which includes contaminated sorbate and clean sorbate is described wherein contaminated sorbate having a freezing point which is higher than the freezing point of the clean sorbate is cooled to a temperature below the freezing point of the contaminated sorbate and above the freezing point of the clean sorbate to concentrate the contaminated sorbate by cycling alternately from a desorption cycle to an adsorption cycle. By maintaining the solution at a temperature between the freezing point of the contaminated sorbate and the freezing point of the clean sorbate, the clean sorbate can be evaporated off.

Abstract: A method and system of utilizing waste heat from a plurality of data center equipment comprising the steps of collecting waste heat from a plurality of data center equipment and utilizing said waste heat as the driving heat input for a heat driven engine. Heat recovery means collects waste heat from heat-producing equipment and transfers it in the form of hot water to drive a heat driven engine such as a chiller or heat pump. The output of the heat driven engine may be put to many productive uses, thereby reducing the over all energy load on the data center.

Abstract: A device and method for concentrating contaminants in a solution comprising contaminated sorbate and clean sorbate wherein the contaminated sorbate freezes at a higher temperature than the clean sorbate. By maintaining the solution at a temperature between the freezing point of the contaminated sorbate and the freezing point of the clean sorbate, the clean sorbate may be evaporated off for processing through a sorbent/sorbate working pair adsorption/desorption cycle. Sensors in the adsorption chamber monitors for the presence of contaminated sorbate vapor. Sensors in the evaporator chamber monitor the temperature of the solution and partial pressure within the evaporator chamber.

Abstract: A device and method for utilizing waste heat from the exhaust of a low pressure condensing steam turbine. An adsorption chiller is driven by heat recovered from the exhaust steam by incorporating a heat exchanger between the low pressure condensing steam turbine and the condenser of the steam turbine. The heat exchanger provides heated fluid which is then utilized as the hot water for the adsorption chiller. The adsorption chiller outputs chilled water which may be beneficially used for many purposes in the power plant.

Abstract: An adsorption-desalination unit utilizing a silica gel—water working pair adsorbent—adsorbate having an economizing heat exchanger to pre-heat the incoming source seawater to be desalinated in an evaporator from about 8° C. to about 1° C. above the ambient seawater temperature. The economizing heat exchanger employs heat captured during the adsorption cycle to pre-heat incoming source seawater, thereby increasing the efficient use of energy in the unit. The heating fluid utilized to drive the desorption cycle is further utilized to heat the evaporator. A mist eliminator positioned intermediate the evaporator and the adsorbent heat exchanger chambers prevents non-vaporized water from entering the adsorbent heat exchanger chambers.
