The 300 augers may be configured to rotate against a vapor flow to clean carbon = _ = = 75 liopo l I = Pb 70 80 char from vapors comprising condensable and non-condensable hydro- 7t 71a 88 carbons. A drive system may be connected to drive and control the plu- rality of augers. An exhaust system is connected to the support body. A k z ..-er 73 gearbox housing is connected to the exhaust system, wherein the drive 7 72 I 73 system is accommodated in the gearbox housing. A ventilation system is 78 disposed within the gearbox housing. Additionally, a thermal expansion 74a = = = = = system may be connected to the support body. ri. ..t, = = 80 79 79 — = 75 — PSI I 75 1 . .4 © J U L GC 11 11 ei ei 77 FIG. 3 IN Il © ei C [Continued on next page] WO 2017/221180 Al 0111 Published: — with international search report (Art. 21(3))
