Here you can crank a handle to generate electricity to electrolyse water into hydrogen and oxygen (and recombine them with a bang), operate a miniature chemical plant or a gas scrubber, measure the pH of various common substances, or discover your personal hot spots by lying against a large sheet of liquid crystals.

The kiln is fitted with a condenser to capture oils in the exhaust and a gas scrubber to clean up its gas emissions.

One way CA refineries can meet their targets is to clean up their processes by installing equipment like flue gas scrubbers.

Not exact matches

Limestone scrubbers deployed at natural gas power plants could help reduce carbon emissions as well as lower ocean acidification by pumping a byproduct of the scrubbing process back into the water, according to an experiment conducted by the Energy Department's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

Another $ 3.5 - billion plant planned for Sweetwater, Tex., would burn pulverized coal to generate 600 MW of electricity while capturing its 5.75 million metric tons of emissions postcombustion with amine or ammonia scrubbers or, possibly, with advanced membranes that separate CO2 from other flue gases.

The second uses various forms of chemistry — in the form of amine or ammonia scrubbers, special membranes or ionic liquids — to pull carbon dioxide out of a more mixed set of exhaust gases.

Air pollution control devices called scrubbers use a sprayed slurry of ground limestone and water to remove sulfur dioxide from gases formed in coal combustion, said Tom Schmaltz, environmental director for Headwaters Resources, a world leader in coal combustion products.

Over about 8 months, the researchers found that the biotrickling filter was as efficient as a chemical scrubber, requiring only about 1.5 seconds of contact to remove the gas.

The use of scrubbers (yes China and India installed scrubbers although not used consistently) to remove SO2 along with the shift to natural gas means the amount of aerosols has not kept up with CO2 forcing.

If we want to reduce CO2 emissions, make the coal, gas, and oil fired powerplants install CO2 scrubbers / processors and give tax incentives and lawsuit immunity to private investment for Nuke Plants.

Carbon separation is an integral part of syngas processing for F - T (the H / C ratio has to be adjusted, and contaminant acid gases like H2S removed; amine scrubbers get CO2 along with the H2S).

There's no scrubber that will remove CO2 from smokestack gas.

Some older coal - fired generators were retrofitted with various environmental controls (see chart for data on installations of one type of control, the flue gas desulfurization unit, also called FGD or scrubber).

Wet scrubbers are used to capture both particulates and SO2 by injecting water droplets into the flue gas to form a wet by - product.

FGD scrubbers have higher capital costs but lower operating costs than DSI systems, along with a higher removal rate for SO2 and other acid gases (90 % of SO2 emissions for FGD, compared to 70 % for DSI).

SOx is very water soluble: indeed, «scrubbers» wash SOx from flue gases by passing the gases through a water shower.

Costs of German and UK electricity would increase if their coal - fired power stations had to remove SOx from flue gases by use of «scrubbers» (i.e. flue gas desulphurisation; FGD).

A plant may retire if higher coal prices, lower wholesale electricity prices (often tied to natural gas prices), or reduced utilization make investment in equipment like scrubbers uneconomical.

To meet this goal, plant owners can implement one of or a combination of three main strategies: use lower sulfur coal in their boilers, retire plants without emissions controls, or install emissions control equipment — primarily flue gas desulfurization (FGD) scrubbers.

FGD scrubbers remove the SO2 from a boiler's post-combustion exhaust (flue gas) by passing it through an alkaline solution.

She says that solutions include greater use of scrubbers, increased energy efficiency, and switching from coal to natural gas, nuclear power, and renewables.

Studies have suggested serious insufficiencies in the safety measures at the installation, including lack of safety valves to prevent the mixing of water into the Methyl isocyanate tanks which started the evolution of the toxic gas, and the failure of scrubbers to treat the gas leak — apparently they were out of service for repair.

With scrubbers in place, less dust, vapor, and gases will go through the baghouse filter and up the stacks; but they will create sulfurous acids, suspended fines, and a precipitate in the scrubber water.
