  • Patent number: 10814275
    Abstract: A scrubber system for cleaning exhaust gas from different engines. The scrubber system includes a scrubber, such as a wet scrubber, for removing a constituent from the gas and a housing having an inlet for receiving the gases into the scrubber and an outlet for discharging cleaned gas. An exhaust mixer has plural inlets for receiving exhaust gas from the different engines and an outlet for discharging the gases into the scrubber through the inlet. The exhaust mixer mixes the exhaust gases into a combined flow stream exiting the exhaust mixer outlet. The scrubber system can clean exhaust gases from different engines by connecting exhaust pipes from each engine to a respective inlet, mixing the exhaust gases in the mixer, and directing the mixed gases into the scrubber, which cleans and discharges the cleaned, mixed gases. The scrubber system can be provided to a marine vessel.

  • Patent number: 4889624
    Abstract: A lamella separation apparatus comprising a liquid receiving tank having a lamella plate assembly supported therein defining flow passages between adjacent lamella plates. The lamella plates have a generally rectangular inclined settling surface and rear surface and a leg portion extending perpendicular to an upper portion of the rear surface along the entire width thereof. The leg portion extends between adjacent lamella plates in closing relationship to the corresponding flow passage therebetween. A plurality of horizontally spaced orifices extend through the lamella plates at an elevation a small distance below the elevation of the leg portion in communication with a corresponding flow passage for directed clarified liquid therethrough into an area above the lamella plate assembly. The orifices are sized so as to create a small pressure drop across the orifices to ensure substantially equal flow distribution through the flow passages.
