  • Publication number: 20230321585
    Abstract: An exhaust system for the treatment of a humid exhaust gas comprising a species to be treated, the system comprising: a dehumidifier system comprising a humid air inlet for providing a flow of humid exhaust gas; a first gas inlet for providing a flow of dehumidified exhaust gas; a second gas inlet for providing a flow of heated gas; a plurality of sorbent beds for releasably storing the species; a treatment unit comprising either: one or more catalysts for decomposing the species; or a condensing unit for recovering the species in liquid or aqueous form; first and second exhaust gas outlets; and a valve system configured to establish independently for each sorbent bed fluid communication in a first or second configuration, wherein: i) in the first configuration the flow of the dehumidified exhaust gas from the first gas inlet contacts a sorbent bed for storing the species and then passes to the first gas outlet; and ii) in the second configuration the flow of heated gas from the second gas inlet contacts a so

  • Publication number: 20230226488
    Abstract: There is provided an exhaust system for the treatment of a humid exhaust gas comprising ammonia in an amount of up to 250 ppm, the system comprising: a dehumidifier system comprising a humid air inlet for providing a flow of humid exhaust gas; an exhaust gas inlet for providing a flow of dehumidified exhaust gas; an ammonia storage material arranged to receive the dehumidified exhaust gas from the exhaust gas inlet; an ammonia oxidation catalyst arranged downstream of a selected portion of the ammonia storage material; and a heating device for heating gas before it passes through the selected portion of the ammonia storage material to release ammonia stored therein for treatment on the ammonia oxidation catalyst; wherein the system is configured so that the selected portion of the ammonia storage material changes over time; and wherein the flow of dehumidified exhaust gas provided by the exhaust gas inlet is received from the dehumidifier system.
