Abstract: An apparatus for providing in-situ radiation measurements within a density equivalent package is disclosed. The apparatus may include a radiation detector embedded within the density equivalent package that is configured to measure an amount of exposure of a phantom material of the density equivalent package to radiation emitted by an irradiation device. The phantom material may have density equivalence with an object or substance for which radiation exposure information is sought and the phantom material may serve as a substitute for the object or substance. A signal including the measurement of the amount of exposure of the phantom material to the radiation may be provided to a processor of the apparatus for processing. The processor may process the signal to interpret and provide additional information relating to the measurement and may provide the information to a device communicatively linked to the apparatus.

Abstract: Configurations and methods of reducing oxygen infiltration into an oxygen-sensitive process environment of a plant are presented in which carbon dioxide is isolated from a process stream within the plant, and in which a small portion of the isolated carbon dioxide is used in the plant as a transport gas or a seal gas for devices that are known to exhibit air in-leaking.
