Abstract
A liquid collection device for removing a liquid from a catalyst brick is provided and includes a containment vessel having an inner volume and a receiver supported by the containment vessel and in fluid communication with the inner volume, whereby the receiver supports the catalyst brick relative to the containment vessel. The collection device further includes a vacuum source spaced apart from the receiver and in fluid communication with the inner volume. The vacuum source exerts a fluid force on the catalyst brick to draw the liquid from the catalyst brick and into the inner volume.
