Abstract
A gas accumulation and combustion control device combining a sorption system, a ventilation system, a control system, and sensor system, with the sensor system configured to detect gas contaminants, transmit a gas detection signal to the control system, the control system configured to adjust the ventilation system based on the gas detection signal, the ventilation system configured to draw the contaminated air in from the atmosphere and lead it toward the sorption system, which in turn is configured to adsorb or absorb the gas contaminants.
Claims20
An enclosed flammable or toxic gas remediation device comprising:
- a. an enclosure configured to enclose portions of the enclosed flammable or toxic gas remediation device against an atmosphere, with the atmosphere being external to the enclosed flammable or toxic gas remediation device;
- b. a set of sensors configured to detect gas concentration in the atmosphere external to the enclosure;

- ii. under the first program the incoming stream flows to the first sorption module but not the second module;
- iii. under the second program the incoming stream flows to the second sorption module but not the first sorption module;
- g. an outlet positioned downstream from the humidity control unit, the pressure differential convection generator, and the first and second sorption modules, with the outlet configured to recycle ambient air from the enclosure back into the atmosphere;
- h. with the humidity control unit, the first and second sorption modules, and the pressure differential generator disposed within the enclosure;
- i. wherein the enclosure is configured to operate under controlled pressure conditions relative to the atmosphere.
