20140255282 | System and Method for Scrubbing Contaminated Gas with a Glycerol Solution - Both a system and a method for scrubbing a contaminated gas stream with a glycerol solution are disclosed. The system includes a contaminated gas stream in need of purification, along with a column which receives the contaminated gas stream. A glycerol solution is also received by the column and is used to scrub the contaminated gas stream in the column. The glycerol solution is used to reduce at least three contaminants from the gas stream, and includes greater than 50% glycerol and less than 98% glycerol. In one embodiment, the glycerol solution includes between 0.5% to 10% salts, wherein the salts are sodium based, potassium based or a combination thereof. The salts act catalytically to convert glycerol and carbon dioxide to glycerol carbonate. | 09-11-2014 |
20090234629 | Control and online real time monitoring of purity for fatty acid alkyl ester refinery - The production of fatty acid alkyl esters in a refinery setting is broken into three sections which comprise of: the preprocessing high FFA feedstocks; the transesterification of feedstock into fatty acid alkyl esters and; the purification of the fatty acid alkyl esters. Within each of these sections of the refinery, a system of controls and an on-line, real time series of tests utilizing pH, conductivity, viscosity, near infra red spectroscopy, gas chromatography water content and flash point are utilized to tell a process controller when the product is acceptable to move to the next stage of processing. | 09-17-2009 |
