Abstract: A gas analyzer uses continuous sonic signals through a conduit to determine the composition of a gas in the conduit. A transmitting transducer drives sonic signals at a fixed frequency and a second transducer receives the sonic signals. The phase shift between two signals corresponds to the speed of sound through the gas and is related to the composition of the gas. The electronic versions of these signals are processed by lowering, or dividing, the fixed frequency which expands the range of phase shift measurement and allows the determination of an expanded range for the gas composition. In an ozone generation system, the gas analyzer is highly suitable for determining the composition of gases derived from air as a gas of known composition and a calibration point.

Abstract: Methods of treating water containing PFAS are disclosed. The methods include dosing water containing PFAS with a removal material, e.g., adsorption media, to promote loading of the removal material, e.g., adsorption media, with PFAS. The methods include producing a slurry stream including the PFAS-loaded removal material. e.g., adsorption media. The methods include subjecting the slurry stream to a supercritical water oxidation (SCWO) process. The SCWO process is driven at least in part by a predetermined calorific value of the removal material, e.g., adsorption media. Systems for treating water containing PFAS are also disclosed. Systems include a contact reactor containing removal material. e.g., adsorption media; a source of water comprising PFAS fluidly connected to an inlet of the contact reactor; a separation system fluidly connected downstream of the contact reactor; and SCWO reactor fluidly connected downstream of the separation system.
