Abstract: The invention relates to a method for hydrothermal carbonisation of biomass containing organic matter, the method comprising: —injecting the biomass, a heat transfer fluid and a reagent into a reactor (1), —circulating a mixture consisting of the biomass, the heat transfer fluid and the reagent under specific pressure and temperature conditions for transforming the organic matter by hydrothermal carbonisation. The invention consists in: 1) determining the production rate of the emitted gas Te during the hydrothermal carbonisation reaction; 2) comparing the determined production rate of the emitted gas Te with a predefined value for the set gas production rate Tc, and 3) adjusting at least one of the reaction control parameters chosen from among the temperature within the reactor (1), the quantity of injected reactant, and the residence time in the reactor in order to adjust the production rate of the emitted gas Te, such that the value of said production rate of the emitted gas Te tends to be equal to the value of the set gas production rate Tc. The invention is applicable to treatment of biomass containing organic matter.

Abstract: A method and a system for detecting anomalies in a water distribution system comprises a network of nodes, and is equipped with sensors of at least water velocity at a subset of the nodes. The water distribution system is modeled by a hydraulic model. The method comprises parametrizing the hydraulic model with initial values of a set of control variables, using the sensors to obtain values of state variables of the network at the nodes, using the hydraulic model to calculate predicted values of state variables, recursively calculating the values of control variables which, applied to the hydraulic model, permit to obtain the predicted values of state variables the closest to the observed values, and classifying nodes of the network based on the values of control variables.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for the gravitational separation of the first and second liquid phases of a two phase liquid containing predominantly a continuous first liquid phase with a dispersed second liquid phase having a lower specific gravity than the first liquid. The apparatus comprises a tank defining an interior chamber. A feed inlet introduces the two 5 phase liquid into the lower portion of the chamber. The upper portion of the chamber has an upward flow zone through which the two phase liquid rises, with the dispersed second liquid rising more than the first liquid and being separated therefrom due to the second liquid's lower specific gravity. The second liquid forms a floating layer and a conduit directs separated second liquid from the floating layer to a second liquid outlet.

Abstract: A process for thermal cracking of a feedstock of plastic materials, in particular waste materials, includes the steps of melting the feedstock, conveying melted feedstock in a pyrolysis chamber where the melted feedstock is heated in a substantially oxygen purged environment, to convert it into pyrolysis gases, the process further comprising the steps of: driving pyrolysis gases from the pyrolysis chamber into a tray reflux column comprising a partial condenser at its upper extremity, returning pyrolysis gases condensed in the tray reflux column into the pyrolysis chamber, distilling pyrolysis gases exiting the partial condenser of the reflux column, to provide one or more fuel products.

Abstract: A computerized process for controlling an air purification system comprises a bioreactor in particular, the system may include a photobioreactor for treating urban air, in particular for CO2 removal. The system may be connected to the sanitation network and/or to a (drinking and/or municipal) water supply network. The connection and the drainage system may in particular maintain a fluidic isolation between the two types of networks. The system may optionally be equipped with measurement sensors and/or actuators that make it possible to control the internal activity of the bioreactor. Various control modes of a grid of bioreactors are described. Data on the status of the connected networks (e.g. water, sanitation, cooling, heating networks) contribute to the control of a network of geolocalized bioreactors. The software aspects are described. The supervision of the grid of bioreactors may in particular be carried out remotely via onboard communication devices.
