A valve useful in distributing gas received in one inlet to several outlets in a sequence, and burner apparatus including this valve for feeding material in sequence to outlets of a burner thereby forming a non-stationary flame at the burner.

Multi-output valve and burner useful to promote non-stationary flame

Heating provided by a burner that combusts hydrocarbon fuel can be provided at a sequence of different heat transfer rates by adjusting the total oxygen concentration of oxidant streams fed to the burner. A burner with which the method can be practiced is also disclosed.

Combustion with variable oxidant low NOx burner

A system for removing and purifying a carbon dioxide-containing stream from a batch process tool is provided. A multi-phase contaminated stream containing at least carbon dioxide and one or more co-solvent is removed from a process tool and conveyed to at least one intermediate pressure separator. The contaminant-containing stream is separated into an intermediate pressure carbon dioxide-enriched vapor stream and an intermediate pressure solvent and contaminant-enriched stream in the intermediate pressure separator.

Process for carbon dioxide recovery from a process tool

Silica-based refractories are impregnated with protective material that is more resistant towards attack by corrosive species. The protective material coats the surface of the refractory matrix and fills some of the cavity volume of its pores, crevices, surfaces imperfections and irregularities. The protective material is positioned by impregnating the refractory with a precursor which, under the input of energy, is converted into the corrosion resistant protective material.

Method for producing corrosion resistant refractories

The invention relates to an improvement in atomizing methods and apparatus useful for combusting liquid fuel, such oil. The atomizing methods and apparatus consistently produce liquid fuel streams having vary narrow spray angles. The liquid fuel streams having very narrow spray angles can be produced even when a low liquid fuel flow rate is employed and even when a liquid fuel stream is atomized outside a liquid fuel passageway. The production of the constant narrow spray angle liquid fuel stream allows the atomizing apparatus to operate for a long period without causing fouling problems even if they are sufficiently recessed from internal openings of refractory ports defined in the furnace wall.
