Abstract
A decontamination system for decontaminating at least one contaminant in a process stream. Decontaminant liquid is dispersed into the process stream using atomization. A controller detects contaminant levels in the process stream and adjusts the flow of decontaminant fluid into the process stream in response.
Claims19
A system for decontaminating a process stream containing at least one contaminant, the system comprising:
- a supply of decontaminant;
- a controller associated the supply of decontaminant and operable to introduce a controlled amount of decontaminant to the process stream;
- a sensor to detect a level of contaminant within the process stream and provide a signal indicative of the level to the controller;
- and
- wherein the controller adjusts the amount of decontaminant introduced into the process stream in response to the signal.
A system for decontaminating of a process stream containing at least one contaminant, the system comprising:
- a supply of decontaminant;
- an atomizing nozzle to introduce decontaminant to the process stream by atomizing the decontaminant;
- a controller associated the supply of decontaminant and operable to introduce a controlled amount of decontaminant to the process stream;
- a sensor to detect a level of contaminant within the process stream and provide a signal indicative of the level to the controller;
- and
- wherein the controller adjusts the amount of decontaminant introduced into the process stream in response to the signal.
A method of decontaminating at least one contaminant in a process stream comprising the steps of:
- flowing the process stream into a vaporization vessel;
- injecting decontamination fluid into the vaporization vessel so that decontaminant is brought into contact with the process stream to neutralize the contaminant;
- detecting a level of contaminant within the process stream;
- and
- adjusting the amount of decontaminant fluid being injected into the vessel in response to the level of contaminant that is detected.
