Abstract: A gas-liquid separator includes a housing which encloses a separation chamber, an inlet port for feeding the multi-phase flow into the separation chamber, a liquid outlet port for discharging the liquid dominated flow from the separation chamber and a gas outlet port provided at a position above both the inlet port and the liquid outlet port for discharging the gas dominated flow from the separation chamber. Both the inlet port and the liquid outlet port are positioned adjacent to an elongated lower bottom wall of the housing and define a flow direction into the and out of the separation chamber approximately aligned along the bottom wall. The separation chamber extends above the bottom wall in between the inlet port and the liquid outlet port. The liquid outlet port is provided with a gas seal to prevent entrainment of free gas from the separation chamber into the liquid outlet port.

Abstract: A method and equipment for distribution of two fluids into and out of channels in a multi-channel monolithic structure (monolith) where the channel openings are spread over an entire cross-sectional area of the monolithic structure. The equipment consists of a manifold head, a monolith unit or a monolith stack, a row of monolith units or monolith stacks, or a monolith block. In addition a method and a reactor for mass and/or heat transfer between two fluids transfers the two fluids using one or more of the manifold heads and monolith units, the monolith stack, the row of monolith units or monolith stacks, or the monolith block.

Abstract: The gas-liquid separator separates a variable multi-phase flow of gas and liquid in a gas dominated flow and a liquid dominated flow. The separator includes a housing which encloses a separation chamber, an inlet port for feeding the multi-phase flow into the separation chamber, a liquid outlet port for discharging the liquid dominated flow from the separation chamber and a gas outlet port provided at a position above both the inlet port and the liquid outlet port for discharging the gas dominated flow from the separation chamber. Both the inlet port and the liquid outlet port are positioned adjacent to an elongated lower bottom wall of the housing and define a flow direction into the and out of the separation chamber approximately aligned along the bottom wall, wherein the separation chamber extends above the bottom wall in between the inlet port and the liquid outlet port.

Abstract: A combustion installation comprising a combustion device for combustion of a fuel and an oxygen-containing gas to a combustion gas and a method for such combustion is described. A nozzle means is arranged for injection of the fuel into the combustion device and a membrane device for supplying oxygen to the combustion gases for production of the oxygen-containing gas, wherein the combustion device comprises at least a first inlet for the oxygen-containing gas and an outlet for the combustion gases. The combustion installation comprises at least a first ejector including the nozzle means and the first inlet, wherein the nozzle means and the first inlet are arranged to drive the flow of oxygen containing gas and fuel through the combustion device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a reactor for mixing and reacting two or more fluids as well as transferring heat between said fluids. Said reactor comprises a pressure vessel (g) having at least one inlet and one outlet and which enclose a multi-channel monolithic structure (f), a manifold assembly (b) sealed to one end of said structure where the channel openings are, for feeding fluid to said structure and discharging fluid from said structure, a means (h) sealed to the opposite end of said structure where said manifold assembly is sealed, for changing the direction of fluid flow path 180 degrees when said flow leaves the channels in said structure. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method for operating said reactor.

Abstract: A method with associated equipment for feeding two gases into and out of a multi-channel monolithic structure. The two gases will normally be gases with different chemical and/or physical properties. The first gas and the second gas are fed by means of a manifold head into channels for the first and second gases, respectively. The gases are distributed in the monolith in such a way that at least one of the channel walls is a shared or joint wall for both gases. The walls that are joint walls for the two gases will then constitute a contact area between the two gases that is available for mass and/or heat exchange. This means that the gases must be fed into channels that are spread over the entire cross-sectional area of the monolith. The entire contact area or all of the monolith's channel walls are directly used for heat and/or mass transfer between the gases. This means that the channel for one gas will always have the other gas on the other side of its channel walls.

Said equipment consists of a manifold head, a monolith unit or a monolith stack, or a row of said units or stacks or a monolith block. Furthermore, the present invention concerns a method and a reactor for mass and/or heat transfer between two fluids where said fluids are distributed through one or more of said manifold heads and units or stack or row of units or stacks or blocks.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for combustion of a carbon containing fuel in a nitrogen free atmosphere, and a method for operating said device. The device may be integrated with a power generation plant (i.e. gas turbine(s)) to obtain an energy efficient process for generation of power with reduced emission of carbon dioxide and NOx to the atmosphere. Furthermore, the device may be integrated with a chemical plant performing endothermic reactions.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method with associated equipment for feeding two gases into and out of a multi-channel monolithic structure. The two gases will normally be two gases with different chemical and/or physical properties. The gases, here called gas 1 and gas 2, are fed by means of a manifold head into channels for gas 1 and gas 2 respectively. Gas 1 and gas 2 are distributed in the monolith in such a way that at least one of the channel walls is a shared or joint wall for gas 1 and gas 2. The walls that are joint walls for the two gases will then constitute a contact area between the two gases that is available for mass and/or heat exchange. This means that the gases must be fed into channels that are spread over the entire cross-sectional area of the monolith. The present invention makes it possible to utilise the entire contact area or all of the monolith's channel walls directly for heat and/or mass transfer between gas 1 and gas 2.

Abstract: A method for recovering substantially all carbon dioxide generated in a combustion process where the method comprises the following steps: a) a sweep gas is used to pick up oxygen on the permeate side of a mixed conducting membrane in a first stage which is capable of separating oxygen from a hot air stream fed to the retentate side of the membrane; b) the sweep gas containing oxygen is applied as oxidant in a combuster in the first stage where a carbon containing fuel is combusted; c) hot combustion products of step b) containing CO2, H2O and a low concentration of O2 is used as sweep gas in a membrane in a second stage downstream the combuster in step b); d) the concentration of oxygen in the sweep gas of step c) is increased in the membrane in the second stage (step c) to a sufficiently high level to be used as oxidant in the combuster in the second stage; e) and the steps c)-d) are repeated in one or more stages. Furthermore, the present invention relates to use of the method in different processes.
