Abstract
Techniques for drift elimination in a liquid-gas contactor system include configuring a pre-fabricated mechanical frame coupled to a drift eliminator material to produce a framed drift eliminator assembly with substantially no air gaps between the drift eliminator material and the pre-fabricated mechanical frame, and coupling the framed drift eliminator assembly to the liquid-gas contactor system.
Claims22
A method of drift elimination in a liquid-gas contactor system comprising:
- configuring a pre-fabricated mechanical frame coupled to a drift eliminator material to produce a framed drift eliminator assembly with substantially no air gaps between the drift eliminator material and the pre-fabricated mechanical frame;
- and
- coupling the framed drift eliminator assembly to the liquid-gas contactor system.
A liquid-gas contactor apparatus comprising:
- a drift eliminator assembly comprising:
- a pre-fabricated mechanical frame;
- a drift eliminator material coupled to the pre-fabricated mechanical frame to form a framed drift eliminator assembly;
- and
- a flexible sealant pressed against the drift eliminator material configured for substantially no air gaps;
- a packing material;
- and
- a fan positioned to circulate a gas stream through the packing material.
5 more elements
A liquid-gas contacting system, the system comprising:
- a packing material;
- a drift eliminator material;
- a fan positioned to circulate a gas stream through the packing material and the drift eliminator material;
- a liquid flowable through the packing material and configured to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) from at least one of a dilute source or a point source;
- and
- a sealant positioned between the drift eliminator material and a housing, the sealant configured to minimize bypass of the gas stream between the drift eliminator material and the housing.
