  • Method and device for injecting two-phase COin a transfer gaseous medium
    Patent number: 7648569
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for injecting two-phase (gas+solid) carbon dioxide into a gas stream. Liquid carbon dioxide is cryogenically expanded into two-phase carbon dioxide, which is then injected into the center of the stream. An inerting gas is also injected into the stream along with the two-phase carbon dioxide.
    Type: Grant

  • Method for regulated injection of liquid carbon dioxide in a pressured liquid
    Patent number: 6533252
    Abstract: Method and its associated device for the regulated injection of liquid carbon dioxide (CO2L) into a liquid (L) under pressure inside a chamber. The liquid carbon dioxide (CO2L) is, according to this method, injected at a fixed flow rate, in stepped mode, under the protection of a stream of gas (when injection is stopped).

  • Plant for transferring a gas into a liquid
    Patent number: 6494228
    Abstract: A plant for transferring a gas in the gaseous or liquified state into a liquid. The plant includes a pressurized-gas circuit (2) having a device (21, 22) for injecting gas in the gaseous or liquid state into a liquid, a chamber (13) for mixing the gas with the liquid, the chamber located downstream of the gas injection device and having an outlet connected to the overhead of a buffer tank (14) in order to introduce, into the latter, liquid, in the form of droplets or streams, with which the gas is mixed, and a mechanism (15) for withdrawing the liquid/gas mixture from the tank. The plant may be used for the carbonation of consumable liquids.

  • Plant and method for liquid-phase filtration of a cryogenic fluid
    Patent number: 6119480
    Abstract: A plant for liquid-phase filtration of a cryogenic fluid comprising, in an ambient environment:a supply of a cryogenic fluid in liquid phase;a filtration component arranged between an inlet for feeding the cryogenic fluid and an outlet for use of the filtered cryogenic fluid, in which the filtration component filters microorganisms and/or particles and causes a head loss which is less than that which converts liquid phase to a solid or gaseous phase.
