Abstract: A particle separator comprises a pipeline that allows a fluid to flow in a curved direction of flow. The particle separator includes an inlet region, a curved deflection region, which in the direction of flow follows on from the inlet region, with an inside wall and an outside wall, and a delimitation body. The delimitation body at least in some sections extends between the inside wall and the outside wall in the interior of the deflection region and is curved in the same direction as the deflection region.

Abstract: A vertically oriented co-current contacting system and methods for separating impurities from a gas stream including a vertically oriented co-current contactor (VOCC) located in-line within a pipe, a vertically oriented mixer (VOM) including an annular support ring configured to maintain the VOM within the pipe, a number of radial blades configured to allow a liquid stream to flow into the VOM, and a central gas entry cone configured to allow a gas stream to flow through a hollow section within the VOM, a vertically oriented mass transfer section downstream of the VOM. The VOM and the vertically oriented mass transfer section provide for efficient incorporation of liquid droplets including impurities from the gas stream formed from the liquid stream into the gas stream. The vertically oriented co-current contacting system also includes a separation system configured to remove the liquid droplets.

Abstract: A vacuum assembly has a vacuum housing. The vacuum housing has lower and upper ends. The vacuum housing has a cylindrical wall adapted to secure the system onto a work surface. An enclosure assembly has an enclosure housing. The enclosure housing has lower and upper ends. The enclosure housing has a cylindrical wall. The upper end has two semi-circular closure panels. The panels have hinges. The panels are adapted to cover the upper end. The panels having mating semi-circular recesses. In this manner a passageway is formed. A horizontal membrane couples the vacuum and enclosure housings.

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

Abstract: Carbon capture is effected by mechanical means, producing out of flue gas a concentrated, cleaned, and cooled stream of carbon dioxide. This is a new method of carbon capture which avoids the limitations of known cryogenic, membrane, or chemical capture methods. A mechanically assisted turbulent flue gas scrubber comprises counter-rotating coaxial centrifugal impellers and a shrouding tank for receiving the flow from between the impellers. Feed is at the axis of rotation. Axial extraction of nitrogen and water vapor is driven by an axial pump and by back pressure from the tank while radially outward flow of carbon dioxide and scrubbing targets is driven by the impellers. Scrubbing of the concentrated targets is in high turbulence during a long residence time. Tiny centrifugation effects of innumerable turbulent eddy vortices in a shear layer between the impellers and in the tank are integrated by the forcing regime of the impellers and the axial pump.

Abstract: A gas treatment device comprises an oxygen-mixed unit, a treatment unit, a working fluid and a sprayer. The sprayer has an inner wall and a plurality of nozzles circumferentially arranged on the inner wall. The nozzles are used for outputting the working fluid to form a filtering region so that the particles can be easily and efficiently removed.

Abstract: A sprinkling appartaus for cooling tower includes nozzle groups having water tubes and air tubes through the tower wall and corresponding guiding assemblies wherein both water and air tubes have one ends within and adjacent to tower wall and the other ends pierced through tower wall and throttle valve to communicate with water and air tanks respectively, and one end of water tube is bent to face the air discharged opening of air tube; the air tube is oblique with respect to tower wall for effecting a whirling motion in discharged air; and each guiding assembly includes a baffle plate having an engagement portion, a spindle having one end pivotably secured to baffle plate and the other end secured to tower wall, and an adjustment bolt obliquely pierced through tower wall to urge on engagement portion.
