Abstract:
The present invention discloses an apparatus and process for removing particulate material and mercury-containing compounds from a gas stream. The apparatus includes a particulate removal means to remove the particulate material and a mercury collection means to remove the mercury-containing compounds. The apparatus can selectively remove particulate material and mercury-containing compounds which may be disposed of separately. The mercury collection means is positioned downstream of the particulate removal means and includes a regenerable sorbent. The sorbent is regenerated by elevating the temperature of the sorbent to release the mercury-containing compounds from the sorbent.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a process for removing undesired particles (35) from a gas stream (36) including the steps of injecting (10) by the use of nozzles (37) a composition containing an adhesive (40) into contact with the gas stream (36); collecting the undesired particles (35) and adhesive (40) on a collection surface (28) to form an agglomerate (44); and removing the agglomerate (44) from the collection surface (28).
Abstract:
A device and method for measuring the concentrations of components of a fluid stream. Preferably, the fluid stream is an in situ gas stream, such as a fossil fuel fired flue gas in a smoke stack. The measurements are determined from the intensity of radiation over a selected range of radiation wavelengths using peak-to-trough calculations. The need for a reference intensity is eliminated.
