  • Patent number: 11819800
    Abstract: A system and method for recovering a sterilization agent from waste gaseous mixture, comprising a gas separator to wash waste gas comprising a gaseous mixture of a sterilization agent, insert dilution gases, and water vapor, from plurality sterilization chambers, with water, thereby producing a water-gaseous sterilization agent mixture collected at bottom section of the gas separator, and inert dilution gases exhausted at top section of the gas separator; a pressure reducing valve; a first tank or gas evaporator to produce gaseous sterilization agent and water vapor; a first condenser to produce condensed water vapor and separate the gaseous sterilization agent from the condensed water vapor; a water tank to receive the condensed water vapor; a separation pump for raising pressure of the gaseous sterilization agent; a second condenser to cool the gaseous sterilization agent causing the sterilization agent to condense into liquid; and a second tank for storing the liquid sterilization agent.

  • Patent number: 11819801
    Abstract: A method and system for recovering a sterilization agent and nitrogen from a waste gaseous mixture, comprising: pressure reducing valve for reducing pressure of waste gas from sterilization chambers to a first predefined pressure; a first condenser to receive the gaseous mixture and cool it to a temperature below boiling point and above freezing point of the water vapor at the first predefined pressure, to produce condensed water vapor; a first tank for storing the condensed water vapor; a separation pump for raising pressure of the gaseous mixture to a second predefined pressure; a second condenser to cool the gaseous mixture to a temperature below boiling point and above freezing point of the sterilization agent at the second predefined pressure, to condense the sterilization agent into liquid, and to discharge the nitrogen gas remaining in the gaseous mixture; a second tank for storing the sterilization agent; a compressor to compress the discharged nitrogen gas and increase pressure of the discharged nitr

  • Patent number: 11207612
    Abstract: A system for recovering a sterilization agent may include a pressure reducing valve for reducing a pressure of a waste gas from a sterilization chamber to a first predefined pressure. The waste gas may include a gaseous mixture of a sterilization agent, nitrogen gas, and water vapor. A first condenser may cool the gaseous mixture to below a boiling point temperature and above a freezing point temperature of the water vapor at the first predefined pressure. A first tank may store the condensed water vapor. A separation pump may raise the pressure of the gaseous mixture to a second predefined pressure. A second condenser may cool the gaseous mixture to below a boiling point temperature and above a freezing point temperature of the sterilization agent at the second predefined pressure causing the sterilization agent to condense into a liquid. A second tank may store the separated sterilization agent.
