Patent GB-8609619-D0 (GB)
Title: Gas analysis
IPC: G01N21/35
Filed: 1986-04-19
Abstract: Gas analysis apparatus comprises a radiation source (13) arranged to transmit radiation through a gas (12) to be analysed to a radiation sensor (32). Datum means (50-60) intercepts the radiation and transmits it to the sensor at a reference or datum value. The datum means comprises a mirror to reflect the radiation directly to the sensor thereby providing a zero absprption datum point. The datum means may also comprise one or more gas cells (54, 56,58) containing a high concentration of the gas to be analysed and thereby giving a high scale value datum point. The mirror and gas cells are mounted on a datum wheel (20) which is continuously rotated . Infra-red radiation from a source (13) is transmitted at two frequencies chosen for each gas to be analysed , by virtue of a rotary filter wheel 16 having pairs of filter discs (M1,R1) and (M2,R2) and (M3,R3).

Date Jul. 18, 1996A centrifugal fluid cleaning system includes a centrifugal cleaner through which a proportion of a circulated fluid is diverted, and a drainage assistance arrangement which includes a venturi arrangement through which non-diverted fluid is passed, the venturi developing locally a significant pressure drop in a region into which opens an induction port connected to the cleaner holding sump so that the cleaned fluid is entrained into the non-diverted fluid and returned to the circulation. While the pressure difference between inlet and induction ports is sufficient to drive the centrifugal cleaner rotor, the absolute pressures of the supply to, and drain from, the cleaner do not depend on the ambient atmospheric pressure and the overall pressure drop of the venturi arrangement is small, permitting it to be included within a closed circulation system. A pressure regulator permits bypass of the venturi arrangement to regulate the flow of fluid therethrough.

Title: Method of producing sugars using stong acid hydrolysis of cellulosic and hemicellulosic materials
Inventor: FARONE WILLIAM A
IPC: C13B20/14
Filed: 1994-03-25
Abstract: An economically viable method for producing sugars using concentrated acid hydrolysis of biomass containing cellulose and hemicellulose is disclosed. The cellulose and hemicellulose in the biomass are first decrystallized and then hydrolyzed to produce a hydrolysate containing both sugars and acid. Silica present in the biomass can then be removed for further processing. The remaining solids are then subjected to a second decrystallization and hydrolyzation to optimize the sugar yields. An improved method for separating the sugars from the acid in the hydrolysate is also disclosed. The resulting sugar stream can then be fermented, using an improved method which allows both hexose and pentose sugars to be fermented simultaneously.
