Patent CA-2679437-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MATEOS DAVID
IPC: A62D3/40
Filed: 2008-02-29
Abstract: A method for the production of vegetable charcoal with a high carbon content for use in biofuel production, involves an initiation stage in which biomass is pyrolysed with oxygen-deficient hot gas in a column, a transition stage in which hot gas is replaced by air and a stage of continuous production with further replacement of hot gas and increased heat transfer between gas and biomass. A method for the production of vegetable charcoal with a high carbon content (I), involves (a) initiation: pyrolysis of the organic components by circulating hot gas in the column (5) of a reactor (R), with evacuation of the treated biomass at the base of the reactor when the temperature of the layer of material above a grating (4) reaches the temperature of the hot gas, (b) transition: introduction of air to increase the oxygen content of the hot gas, followed by further addition of air to oxidise volatile compounds at the bottom of the column at the level of the grating and having for reasons of functionality to (i) reduce the amount of gas from the generator and increase the amount of gas from the oxidation of organic material and on the other hand (ii) cause the accelerated mineralisation of the biomass, (c) production: implementing the continuous and independent production of (I) by replacing hot gas from the generator with compressed air at the base of the column, enabling increased heat transfer between the gas and the biomass so as to produce (I) with a high carbon content and maintain the temperature in the layer of biomass just above the grating while continuously discharging the product (I). This makes it possible to achieve and maintain an accelerated rhythm of production while adding biomass at the top of the reactor and removing (I) through the grating at the bottom. An independent claim is also included for an installation for use with this method, comprising a generator (1) of oxygen-deficient hot gas, a downstream fan (2) for increasing the pressure of hot gas in the lower part of the reactor (R), a reactor comprising a high column (5) with an upper charging inlet for the continuous addition of biomass and a grating (4) at the bottom for supporting and discharging the product, a chamber (3) under the grating for injecting the hot gas, a mechanism for recovering the treated product, a thermal chamber (6) for post-combustion of the evacuated gas at the top of the column, a heat exchanger (7), a second heat exchanger (9) and a vent (10), plus connecting pipes (11-12) for recycling gas between the components and the circuit defined by the components. The installation also includes another circuit between the reactor and the fan which is defined by a compressor group (1a) supplying compressed air during the production phase (c) to replace the gas from the generator.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for enhanced THz radiation coupling to molecules, includes the steps of depositing a test material near the discontinuity edges of a slotted member, and enhancing the THz radiation by transmitting THz radiation through the slots. The molecules of the test material are illuminated by the enhanced THz radiation that has been transmitted through the slots, thereby producing an increased coupling of EM radiation in the THz spectral range to said material. The molecules can be bio- molecules, explosive materials, or species of organisms. The slotted member can be a semiconductor film, a metallic film, in particular InSb, or layers thereof. THz detectors sense near field THz radiation that has been transmitted through said slots and the test material.

Abstract: A high flow rate infusion unit includes a heating unit with opposing, electrically-operated heating plates that contact a heat exchanger to heat infusate flowing therethrough. Pressure infusers on the infusion unit are operable to provide infusate at a high flow rate. A flat, elongate heat exchanger has a laminar fluid flow path receivable between the heating plates to which heat is conducted by contact with the heating plates. A bubble trap and a valve are disposed within the heat exchanger. The bubble trap collects bubbles and vents air from infusate exiting the fluid flow path, and the valve shuts off the flow of infusate if the volume of air in the bubble trap exceeds a predefined limit.

Abstract: The invention relates to a casting die for the continuous casting of blooms, slabs, or billets, having a die tube (2) and a support shell (4) surrounding the tube.    The die tube (2) is supported on the support shell (4) by support profiles (15) which are distributed around the periphery and which run in the longitudinal direction of the tube, and is positively connected to the support shell by connection profiles (20) which extend in the longitudinal direction. The connection profiles (20) are each designed as profile strips (21, 22) which extend outward from the outer periphery of the die tube (2) and inward from the inner periphery of the support shell (4), and which engage in each other in such a manner that a play is created in the peripheral direction of the die. The invention thereby substantially avoids tension caused by thermal expansion, lasting deformation, and fatigue cracks.

Abstract: Après acquisition de données sismiques de type walkaway et d'une estimation du champ de vitesse de propagation d'ondes sismiques dans le sous-sol, on sélectionne p angles d'éclairage. Puis, on transforme les mesures sismiques en des données D p par angle d'éclairage. On détermine, à l'intérieur de la cible, la distribution d'impédances acoustiques qui explique au mieux les données D p, au moyen d'une inversion non linéaire. Celle-ci consiste à minimiser un écart entre les D p issues de mesures, et de données par angle d'éclairage issues d'une estimation. Cette estimation est réalisée par résolution d'une équation de propagation des ondes à partir du champ de vitesses, d'une distribution d'impédance acoustique, et d'une distribution de pression au niveau du toi de la cible pour chaque angle d'éclairage. Application à l'exploitation de gisements pétroliers ou à la surveillance de site de stockage géologique.
