A system for evacuating NOx gases from a nitric acid storage tank in a nitric acid production plant. The production plant includes a gas ejector with at least two gas inlets and at least one gas outlet, wherein a first gas inlet is branched from a gas conduit through which NOx-containing gas is flowing at a pressure P1 ranging from 2 to 16 bar; a second gas inlet is fluidically connected to the nitric acid storage tank essentially maintained at atmospheric pressure; and a gas outlet is fluidically connected to a gas conduit through which NOx-containing gas is flowing at a pressure P2 lower than P1. A method for evacuating NOx gases from a nitric acid storage tank, a method for revamping a system of a nitric acid plant, and the use of a gas ejector for evacuating NOx gases from a nitric acid storage tank in a production plant.

An apparatus and method produces nitrate ions on-site from water, natural gas and air extracted in proximity to the apparatus. The apparatus generates nitrate ions and brings the nitrate ions into contact with an aqueous system. Hydrogen sulfide present in the aqueous system is removed and the production of hydrogen sulfide by sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) is eliminated by introducing into the system nitrate ions, whereby denitrifying microorganisms, using nitrate, outcompete the sulfate-reducing bacteria for the available carbon nutrients, thus preventing the SRB from producing hydrogen sulfide. Nitrate ions generated by the apparatus and added to the aqueous system which contains the denitrifying microorganisms can enhance oil recovery by means of microbial enhanced oil recovery mechanisms.
