Patent WO-2018203024-A1 (WO)
Inventor: AKHTAR MIRZA SIBTAIN
IPC: F01K23/10
Filed: 2018-05-08
Abstract: Power is produced by operating first and second nested cycles utilising CO 2  as working fluid without mixing of working fluid between the nested cycles. The first cycle comprises a semi-open loop operating under low pressure conditions in which CO 2  is sub- critical. The second cycle comprises a closed loop operating under higher pressure conditions in which CO 2  is supercritical. The first cycle operates in a Brayton cycle including oxycombustion of hydrocarbons, preferably LNG, in a combustion chamber under low pressure conditions, expansion for power production to provide a first power source, cooling in a recuperator, compression, reheating by counter-current passage via the recuperator, and return of working fluid heated by the recuperator back to the combustion chamber. Water and excess CO 2  resulting from the oxycombustion step are separated from the first cycle. The first cycle serves as a source of heat for the second cycle by gas/gas heat exchange in a gas/gas heat exchanger which results in cooling of the products of combustion and circulating working fluid in the first cycle and heating of working fluid in the second cycle. The second cycle is operated in a Brayton cycle including heating of working fluid in the second cycle by the gas/gas heat exchanger, expansion for power generation to provide a second power source, cooling in two-stages by first and second recuperator steps, compression, reheating by counter-current passage via the first recuperator step, and return of working fluid heated by the first recuperator step back to the gas/gas heat exchanger. Working fluid in the first cycle following the compression step is heated by working fluid in the second cycle by counter-current passage via the second recuperator step.

Title: Using high frequency vibration for operational improvement of membrane filtration process
Inventor: CHATZIKONSTANTINOU KONSTANTINOS
IPC: B01D63/16
Filed: 2015-06-29
Abstract: The present invention provides method and system for controlling membrane fouling in a membrane filtration process which is well tested in a pilot MBR system treating synthetic wastewater (SWW) as a municipal simulated wastewater, using small copies of commercialized modules and different type of membranes working for a long period, wherein said fouling control includes high frequency membrane vibration. The mechanical energy of vibrated apparatus is used to create and/or increase the shear-rate at the interface of the membrane filtration element in order to increase or improve rejection of the remaining or stacked elements, thus reducing or eliminating the accumulation of these retentate compounds, which causes blockage of the membranes. The method and system according to the present invention, works in situ at the relaxing intervals of the filtration process in a continuous or intermittent mode. The results of the present invention in accordance with the attached diagrams proven that there is no need of continuous use of HFPV process, as if a periodic vibration applied. The main goal of this invention was to establish a method/system to prevent or to remove deposits from filtration membranes used in a fluid separation process, by means of vibrators coupled either directly to the membranes or to the frame bearing said membranes, wherein the vibration applied in periods of membranes relaxing, which alternate with periods of active filtration, without vibration. Vibration can take place mainly in a direction parallel or perpendicular to the surface of the membranes themselves or the surface of the array of membrane elements, at amplitude ranging from 0.1-1.5 mm, but also in other directions, at smaller amplitude. Preferably vibrator's frequency ranges from 20 to 600 Hz, wherein the frequency, amplitude and/or waveform of the vibration can be constant or may be varied, during the membrane cleaning process and can be properly regulated according to the system needs, with an advanced monitoring operational system. It is a further object of this invention to provide an MBR system that does not utilize membrane air scouring as main cleaning process but as an associated cleaning system and process thus reducing energy consumption. In addition one more issue of this invention is to provide a new approach for the membranes' cleaning, taking into consideration for the first time the cleaning water temperature in a tank or in backwash process with or without vibration.
