F23B 700

US Classification:

110346, 110341, 110185, 110186, 110191, 110101 C, 110101 CF

Abstract:

The present invention provides a novel method of controlling the incineration temperature of industrial waste incineration processes such that the incineration emissions products comply with governmental regulations and operating and capital costs are minimal. Modifying the incineration temperature in response to changes in the emission products and the waste streams results in optimal and reliable control of the incineration process and the resultant incineration emissions. Capital and operating costs are reduced significantly as a result.

Abstract:

A conical reactor head for use in chemical processes or other systems is provided. The reactor head includes a robust internal insulator to boost efficiency while maintaining safety by allowing the reactor head to self-radiate at high temperatures. The reactor head also includes a plurality of support lugs to protect its bottom flange from scratches or other damage when the reactor head is set on the ground. The reactor head is adapted to connect to a catalyst-containing barrel which is specially designed to facilitate easy installation and removal of catalysts or other equipment from outside the barrel. The reactor may be coupled with a rotation vane to induce laminar flow at the inlet of the reactor to increase reactor efficiency and prolong catalyst.

Appl. No.:

09/847126

Inventors:

Abraham Benderly - Houston TX
Michael Stanley DeCourcy - Houston TX
Ronald Eugene Myers - Houston TX

Assignee:

Rohm and Haas Company - Philadelphia PA

International Classification:

B01D 5314

US Classification:

95232, 423237

Abstract:

A method which reduces iron contamination of a system which receives ammonia from an ammonia recovery process by one or more of the following techniques: a) Physically separating iron oxide, iron containing colloidal particles, and liquid droplets from the gas stream; b) Preventing AC from depositing on piping via elimination of condensation, thereby preventing corrosion of the piping; or c) Installing piping and equipment that is not susceptible to corrosive attack by AC, thereby eliminating the source of iron contamination.
