  • Patent number: 9790896
    Abstract: A remedial pollution control system for treating volatile organic compounds that may include a vapor concentrator connected to a line that is laden with volatile organic compounds, the concentrator has an organic condensate output line and a vapor output line; a mixing chamber adapted to receive air provided from an air supply line, combustible fuel from an alternate fuel supply line, and a vapor stream from the vapor output line to produce a mixed fuel supplied to an internal combustion engine, a control mixing system with a controller for producing a proper air to fuel ratio in the mixed fuel supply, and power generated to operate other devices used to more efficiently abate volatile organic compounds and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

  • Publication number: 20130228230
    Abstract: A vacuum actuated valve assembly includes a valve body housing a butterfly valve configured to be connected to a vapor containing fluid source having a static pressure; a linear rack and pinion assembly; an externally exhausted pneumatic actuator having a body with a first end and a second end, an internal piston, an external piston rod shaft having a third end away from the body of the actuator, and a spring located over the external piston rod shaft and fitted in between the second end and a stopper near the third end. The externally exhausted pneumatic actuator is configured to be operated by the static pressure of the vapor in the fluid source. The rack and pinion assembly is coupled to the third end of the external piston rod shaft, and configured to operate the butterfly valve.

  • Publication number: 20060272500
    Abstract: A method of removing volatile and semi-volatile compounds from an aqueous stream is provided which may include injecting a scale reducing gas having a primarily inert gas containing carbon dioxide into the aqueous stream; flowing the stream past a first surface of a wall of a microporous, hydrophobic gas separation membrane that is substantially impermeable to water but is permeable to vapors from the volatile and semi-volatile compounds; applying a vacuum to a second surface of the wall of the membrane to draw the vapors of the compounds through the wall of the membrane; flowing a sweep gas from the first surface of the wall to the second surface of the wall to facilitate movement of the vapors through the wall of the membrane, wherein the sweep gas is a primarily inert gas containing carbon dioxide; and flowing the drawn vapors through an oxidation device to oxidize the drawn vapors.
