Abstract
An air treatment system including an exhaust including an exhaust annulus defined by an inner exhaust wall, an outer exhaust wall circumscribing the inner wall, and a pressurized annulus between the inner and outer walls, and at least one condenser suspended within the exhaust annulus, where the at least one condenser includes a cooling fluid therein.
Claims27
An air treatment system comprising:
- an exhaust including an exhaust annulus defined by an inner exhaust wall, an outer exhaust wall circumscribing the inner wall, and a pressurized annulus between the inner and outer walls, where the pressurized annulus includes and inert gas that is heated to a temperature of about 145° to about 175° C.;
- and
- at least one condenser suspended within the exhaust annulus, where the at least one condenser includes a cooling fluid therein.
A process for treating air emissions comprising:
- directing combustion gases into an exhaust, where the exhaust includes an exhaust annulus defined by an inner wall, an outer wall circumscribing the inner wall, and a pressurized annulus between the inner wall and the outer wall;
- directing the combustion gases through at least one condenser, where the at least one condenser is suspended within the exhaust annulus, and where the at least one condenser includes a cooling fluid therein, thereby condensing compounds included within the combustion gases to condense into a condensate;
- collecting the condensate within the exhaust;
- and
- directing the condensate out of the exhaust.
