CPS developed a high-temperature process system designed to fluidize a granular product, such as sand, and continuously recirculate it through a closed-loop system at elevated temperatures. During this process, the fluidized granules are sprayed with various liquids, initiating a reaction that releases specific chemicals in a gaseous state. These gases are then separated and condensed for further processing. To maintain efficiency and product integrity, the system includes a regeneration phase, where the granules are subjected to even higher temperatures to burn off residual waste chemicals, ensuring their cleanliness for continued use.
The high temperature process system’s significant features are as follows;
- High Temperature (1000 to 1400 Degs F) – Significant thermal expansion compensation
- Regeneration which bakes off the residual chemicals from the granules.
- Separator that removes the gas from the recirculation loop
- Condenser that converts the gas to liquid
- Injection manifold
- Spectrometers (NIR & FTIR) and chromatograph to analyze the liquids
- Gas delivery
- Thermal expansion absorption
