20140069625 | METHOD AND EQUIPMENT FOR HEAT RECOVERY - The present invention relates to a method and equipment for recovering heat from exhaust gas removed from an industrial process, such as an electrolysis process for the production of aluminium. Heat is recovered by means of an extraction/suction system, where the exhaust gas contains dust and/or particles. The heat is recovered as the exhaust gas being brought into contact with heat-recovery elements. Flow conditions and the design of the heat recovery elements are such that the deposits of the dust and/or particles on the surfaces stated are kept at a stable, limited level. In preferred embodiments, the heat-recovery elements have a circular or an extended, elliptical cross-section and may be equipped with fins or ribs. | 03-13-2014 |

20120006744 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR THE TREATMENT OF WASTE WATER - The invention relates to a reactor for treatment of waste water for being subject to both anoxic/anaerobic and aerobic treatment within one single reactor volume. The anoxic/anaerobic reaction zone is separated from the aerobic reaction zone by a separator which also works as a hydrodynamic separator between the two reaction zones. The reactor makes it possible that the effluent water has a lower proportion of suspended solids and also that it produces less sludge than reactors of comparison. The reactor is further more energy efficient than prior art reactors. Several reactors according to the invention may be arranged in parallel so as for the inlet waste water may be treated in a modular way, and thus allowing the maintenance of the units to be facilitated. | 01-12-2012 |
