Process stream decontamination systems and methods

摘要

A decontamination system for decontaminating at least one contaminant in a process stream. Decontaminant liquid is dispersed into the process stream using atomization. A controller detects contaminant levels in the process stream and adjusts the flow of decontaminant fluid into the process stream in response.

1. A system for decontaminating a process stream containing at least one contaminant, the system comprising:
a supply of decontaminant; a controller associated the supply of decontaminant and operable to introduce a controlled amount of decontaminant to the process stream; a sensor to detect a level of contaminant within the process stream and provide a signal indicative of the level to the controller; wherein the controller adjusts the amount of decontaminant introduced into the process stream in response to the signal; and a decontaminant recirculation mechanism wherein at least a portion of the supply of decontaminant is provided from a recirculation tank which contains at least some spent decontaminant and some useable decontaminant.
