APPARATUS AND PROCESS FOR TREATMENT, DELIVERY AND RECYCLE OF PROCESS FLUIDS FOR DENSE PHASE CARBON DIOXIDE APPLICATIONS

摘要

The present invention relates generally to providing an apparatus (8) for on-site CO2 process fluids management. A standardized and universal platform is described which provides CO2 process fluids at various capacities, purity levels, pressures, temperatures and phases. Moreover, herein is described an apparatus and process for communicating with factory cleaning and automation tools (28). Finally, the present invention describes novel apparatus and method for treating gas or liquid phase CO2 using a photo-initiated catalytic reaction, a novel self-cooling and self-regenerating bulk phase recycling system for liquid phase CO2, and a novel quality control technique using on-line fiber optic spectroscopic analysis.
