Abstract:
In the application a spray dryer absorption apparatus for treating a stream of flue gas containing acidic components is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a chamber having vertical cylindrical walls, said chamber comprises (i) an inlet for a flue gas stream containing an acidic component, (ii) an atomizer for spraying droplets of an absorbent slurry into said flue gas stream to effect a chemical reaction between the drop- lets and the acidic component of the flue gas, thereby forming a particulate reaction product, and (iii) an outlet for the treated flue gas and entrained particulate reaction product, wherein the bottom of the chamber having vertical cylindrical walls is substantially horizontal and impervious to gases.The apparatus of the invention has the advantage of a simplified geometry accounting for lower building and maintenance costs.

At least one of the cameras is an infrared camera adapted for measuring the temperature within a predefined area.
Abstract:
The present inventions relates to a method and a system for recovering aroma componds from a coffee extract, wherein the coffee extract and a steam flow is provided to a two-fluid nozzle, to generate a spray of coffee extract in steam, which spray is separated to provide an aroma rich gas and stripped coffee extract.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a sensor system for monitoring a powder handling device. The sensor system comprising an alternating electrical signal source electrically connectable to the powder handling device and a processing device. The processing device comprising a measuring device and a controller communicatively connectable to the measuring device. The controller is configured to receive measurement data from the measuring device and de termine a phase difference between an input signal and an output signal based on the received measurement data.
Abstract:
A spray drying apparatus has a spray drying chamber; a liquid feed atomizer; a drying gas disperser; a perforated bottom; and a plenum chamber (31) with an outlet (33) below the perforated bottom. At least one guide plate (40a, 40b, 40c) is provided in the plenum chamber (31) to direct gas, which is passing through the perforated bottom into the plenum chamber (31), towards the bottom (32) of the plenum chamber (31). The guide plates (40a, 40b, 40c) have lower edges extending on average down to at least half-way between the perforated bottom of the spray drying chamber and the bottom (32) of the plenum chamber (31).
Abstract:
A rotary bearing with a damper comprises an inner bearing element configured for rotation around an axis of rotation (A); an outer bearing element coaxial with the inner bearing element; an inner damper element (33) with an outer surface (34) surrounding the outer bearing element; an outer damper element (35) with an inner surface (36) surrounding the inner damper element; at least one sealing element (37) provided between the outer surface and the inner surface, said sealing element confining a damper space (38) comprising a circumferential film space (38a) defined by a clearance between said outer surface and said inner surface. The damper space contains fluid and is a closed, isolated damper space.
Abstract:
A valve (3c) comprises a valve block (5) with two opposing surface parts (7, 9), a first channel (11) and a second channel (13) extending through the valve block (5). An outlet channel (15) extending between a third surface part (17) and an interior of the valve block (5). A first channel connection (19) connecting the first channel (11) and the outlet channel (15) and a second channel connection (21) connects the second channel (13) and the outlet channel (15). A first valve member opens and closes the first channel connection (19), and a second valve member opens and closes the second channel connection (21). In a valve arrangement at least two valves (3c) are arranged as a succession and are interconnected, e.g.by couplings (41, 49, 45).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a sampling apparatus for use in explosive environ- ments comprising particles of a mean size of up to 500µm, the sampling ap- paratus comprising a displaceable arm having a sample container, which dis- placeable arm has a first position where the sample container is inserted into a first zone for collecting asample of particles into the sample container, and a second zone where the displaceable arm is outside the product stream, the second zone being contained in a housing with an opening for the displace- able arm. The sampling apparatus has an interface between the first and the second zone, which interface is selected from the list consisting of a closable member, a gate valve or an air knife. The invention also relates to a dryer comprising a drying chamber and a sampling apparatus of the invention. In a further aspect the invention relates to a method of estimating the flowability of a sample of organic particles.
