Abstract: This invention relates to an in-situ cleaning fixture for mist removal separator vane assemblies. The cleaning fixture includes an injection chamber with an inlet and a perforated plate which extends horizontally, substantially over the length of the mist removal separator vane assembly. A cleaning fluid source is connected to the injection chamber during a cleaning process. The injection chamber is designed to receive the cleaning fluid, pass the cleaning fluid through the holes formed in the plate, downwardly along a plurality of vanes in the mist removal separator vane assembly and into the drain trough. The in-situ cleaning fixture facilitates removal of scale build-up from the mist removal separator vane assembly and thereby restores the efficacy of the vanes.

Abstract: A separation system for separating drops from a flue gas flow for installation in a gas scrubber of a power plant or an incineration plant includes a front coarse separator arranged in a gas flow direction, and a rear final separator arranged in the gas flow direction. The rear final separator is provided to have a lower separation performance in comparison with an upstream separator in the gas flow direction and/or is provided as a tube separator.

Abstract: The invention relates to a mist eliminator system for gas scrubbers and the like. Said mist eliminator system comprises front and rear mist elimination layers in relation to the direction of the flow of gas, which layers are composed of respective rows of parallel mist elimination profiles, one layer of which being configured in the shape of a V or of an upturned V and the lateral sections of this layer extending away from the corresponding lateral sections of the other layer or extending in parallel thereto. Both mist elimination layers can be or are received on a single common carrier structure by a common lateral wall or a common supporting structure on which the lateral walls of the mist elimination layers are stationarily or detachably arranged.

Abstract: A system for reducing the occurrence of fires in a fabric filter dust collection system. The system includes an elongated housing having a first end and a second end distal from the first end. A gas flow inlet is provided in flow communication with an interior portion of the housing for flow of gas and particulates from a source into the housing. A gas flow outlet is provided in flow communication with the housing for flow of gas and particulates out of the housing and into the dust collection system. An elongated spark arrestor is disposed in the housing between the first end and the second end. The spark arrestor has a plurality of spaced-apart, wedge-shaped members having a gap between adjacent members sufficient to interrupt the flow of combustible particles from the source to the dust collection system.

Abstract: A droplet separator installation for gas washers, cooling towers etc. is described according to which a row of parallel droplet separator profiles is supported at a support construction by means of an intermediate construction. The intermediate construction serves for the support and the stabilization of the droplet separator profile row and for the support of a rinsing means for rinsing the droplet separator profile row.

Abstract: An arrangement and associated method for abating effluent from an etching process is disclosed.

Abstract: A hot-mix asphalt manufacturing system including treatment of emissions and recirculated gases includes a counter-flow rotary dryer 12 having a combustion chamber 28, an inlet 24 for dry ingredients, an outlet 26 for hot-mix asphalt, and a plate collector 70 for treating recirculated gases. A fiber bed filter 90 (FIG. 5) is provided to remove hydrocarbons and particulates from the rotary dryer emissions before they are released into the surrounding environment. A cooling zone 92 is provided upstream from the fiber bed filter to cool the emissions to a temperature that is compatible with the fiber bed filter.
