  • Publication number: 20240109053
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for regenerating media in a siloxane removal system. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a method for regenerating an adsorption medium, comprising receiving a source gas stream comprising at least one hydrocarbon and carbon dioxide; separating the source gas stream into a carbon dioxide-rich gas stream, and a substantially carbon dioxide-free gas stream; directing the carbon dioxide-rich gas stream into a regeneration vessel containing an adsorption medium having one or more adsorbed impurities on the adsorption medium; desorbing impurities from the adsorption medium by contacting the adsorption medium with the carbon dioxide-rich gas stream to generate a carbon dioxide-rich gas containing desorbed impurities and a regenerated adsorption medium; and directing the carbon dioxide-rich gas stream containing desorbed impurities out of the regeneration vessel.

  • Publication number: 20240096041
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that include a processor executing an avatar generation program to obtain driving view(s), calculate a skeletal pose of the user, and generate a coarse human mesh based on a template mesh and the skeletal pose of the user. The program further constructs a texture map based on the driving view(s) and the coarse human mesh, extracts a plurality of image features from the texture map, the image features being aligned to a UV map, and constructs a UV positional map based on the coarse human mesh. The program further extracts a plurality of pose features from the UV positional map, the pose features being aligned to the UV map, generates a plurality of pose-image features based on the UV map-aligned image features and UV map-aligned pose features, and renders an avatar based on the plurality of pose-image features.

  • Publication number: 20230096898
    Abstract: Systems for and methods of treating a fluid containing siloxanes, silanes and/or other silicon compounds. A hot box is configured to receive an initial flow of the fluid, react the flow with water at a temperature and pressure suitable for hydrolysis to generate a first treated flow, in which at least a portion is hydrolyzed to produce silicon dioxide and methane, and discharge the first treated flow. A solid removal mechanism can be configured to receive the first treated flow, separate at least a portion of the silicon dioxide as solid material, and discharge the remaining components as a second treated flow. Techniques of the present disclosure can lead to very low siloxane levels.

  • Publication number: 20230094126
    Abstract: A system for and method of regenerating a siloxane treatment vessel. At least one heat exchanger receives a flow of fluid from the siloxane treatment vessel, and discharges a cooled flow. A knockout tank receives the cooled flow, separates a condensed portion for disposal, and discharges the remainder. A heater raises a temperature of the remainder flow of fluid, and delivers a heated flow to the siloxane treatment vessel.
