Abstract: A portable apparatus for producing sulphur granules includes a granulator with a rotatble drum having distinct zones for seed generation and product growth. The seed generation zone has an intense water spray pattern for each sulphur spray nozzle with intersecting water sprays to solidify molten sulphur and create seeds. The growth zone has a moderate, non-intersect-ing water spray pattern to allow sulphur nozzles to coat and grow a curtain of seeds into granules. The granulator's exhaust air is filtered either by a heated cyclone separator to recapture residual sulphur particles and moisture before venting, and/or by a granular air filter which uses the produced granules to filter the granulator's exhaust air. A two piece collar enhances maintenance of the granulator's drive system.

Abstract: There is described In anoth-er of its aspects, the present invention pro-vides a radiation source assembly compris-ing: (i) an elongate radiation source; (ii) a positioning element connected to a proximal portion of the elongate radiation source; and (iii) a connecting portion secured to a proxi-mal portion of the positioning element and configured to engage a support element to maintain a distal portion of the elongate ra-diation source in a cantilevered position.  The present radiation source assembly is configured such that the distal portion of the radiation source is cantilevered with the re-spect to the distal portion of the protective sleeve in which it is disposed. This feature obviates the need to use spacers, stops, springs and the like in a distal portion of the protective sleeve to maintain correct posi-tion of the radiation source within the pro-tective sleeve. Further, the present radiation source assembly is advantageous in that al-lows for withdrawal of the radiation source from the radiation source assembly without the need to disengage all of the components. Thus, it is possible to replace a single radiation source by removing it from the protective sleeve during operation of the fluid treatment system. This operation can be accomplished quickly without the need to shut down the fluid treatment system or other-wise compensate for the fact that one of the radiation source is being serviced.
