Zusammenfassung:A METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR RETROFITTING AN INTEGRATED SCRUBBER TO PROVIDE MAXIMUM OXYGEN CONTENT IN A CONTROLLED DECOMPOSITION OXIDATION (CDO) ABATEMENT PROCESS COMPRISING A THERMAL/WET INTEGRATED SCRUBBER (11), AND A COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY (4) FOR SUPPLYING AIR TO AN OXYGEN SEPARATION DEVICE (8) THAT SEPARATES THE AIR INTO A NITROGEN-ENRICHED COMPONENT AND AN OXYGEN-ENRICHED COMPONENT. THE OXYGEN SEPARATION DEVICE (8) COMPRISES A MODULE, SUCH AS A VESSEL CONTAINING CERAMIC-MATERIALS (54) ARRANGED IN AN ADSORBENT BED (68) OR COATED ON A SUBSTRATE. THE PRESENT INVENTION USES A CERAMIC OXIDE MATERIAL THROUGH WHICH ONLY OXYGEN CAN DIFFUSE. THE COMPOSITION OF THE CERAMIC OXIDE ADSORBENT MATERIAL IS SUCH THAT A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF OXYGEN VACANCIES EXIST IN THE MATERIAL. BY PLACING EITHER A VOLTAGE POTENTIAL OR A PRESSURE GRADIENT ACROSS THE MEMBRANE, OXYGEN IS SELECTIVELY DIFFUSED IN AND THROUGH THE OXIDE MATERIAL TO SEPARATE THE AIR SUPPLY INTO AN OXYGEN COMPONENT FOR INTRODUCTION INTO THE INTEGRATED SCRUBBER (11).
