Abstract: An apparatus for treating a slurry substance comprising: a support structure; a dryer system including drums rotatably mounted to the structure, the drums arranged on the structure to form a throat therebetween; a drive system to rotate the drums; a heating system for heating an outer cylindrical surface of the drums; and a collecting system under the throat configured to collect the substance. The apparatus further comprises at least one feed conveyor wherein the at least one feed conveyor includes a feed plate directing a substance to the throat; and wherein the heating system includes at least one heating element in the hollow cavity configured to heat a heating fluid received within the drums.

Abstract: An apparatus for capturing combustion gases includes a container defining an inner cavity configured for holding a liquid, and an exhaust end for exhausting gas. An inlet is in fluid communication with a lower portion of the inner cavity, and adapted to receive an injection of combustion gases. One or more fragmentation members are located in the inner cavity downstream of the inlet and upstream of the exhaust end, the fragmentation member configured to be immersed in the liquid of the container, to induce a fragmentation of the combustion gases passing therethough for capture of the combustion gases by the liquid. A method for capturing combustion gases in a liquid is provided.
