  • Patent number: 11708548
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the valorization of gaseous effluents derived from alcoholic fermentation, comprising: a step of alcoholic fermentation in a bioreactor producing a fermented matter and a gaseous effluent, wherein the gaseous effluent comprises carbon dioxide; a step of extraction of the gaseous effluent from the bioreactor, followed by compression thereof, in order to obtain a compressed gaseous effluent; and a step of production of a suspension of alkaline bicarbonate in a bicarbonate production unit, wherein the bicarbonate production unit is divided into at least two compartments arranged successively in series. The present invention also relates to a corresponding plant.

  • Publication number: 20230099223
    Abstract: A method for constructing a wind turbine concrete floater including a central connector from which radial arms extend, the central connector carrying a central stability tower, and each arm carrying an outer stability tower. The method includes prefabricating the arms, central connector and at least parts of the stability towers, pre-assembling the central connector with one arm to form a primary pre-assembly, mounting temporary flotation devices onto the arms to provide additional buoyancy to them, floating the primary preassembly and floating the other arms of the floater, and assembling offshore said primary preassembly with said other arms.

  • Patent number: 6849161
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing anhydrous hydrazine. The process can include distilling an unconcentrated aqueous hydrazine solution into a starting binary solution, distilling the starting binary solution at a pressure where a concentration of hydrazine in the binary solution is greater than a concentration of an azeotrope at the distillation pressure, and recovering the anhydrous hydrazine.

  • Publication number: 20040081610
    Abstract: The invention concerns a device for carrying out a reaction in liquid medium during which there is gas evolution. The inventive device comprises at least: a static mixer (3) wherein emerges at least a pipe (1) supplying liquid medium; a cyclone reactor (4) connected to said static mixer (3) and provided with a vent (5) for evacuating the gas or gases formed and means for evacuating (6, 7) the liquid medium. The invention also concerns a method whereby a reaction is carried out in liquid medium during which there is gas evolution. The invention can be used particularly for a reaction involving a peroxide such as hydrogen peroxide and, in particular, for reducing chlorine contained in a liquid effluent.
