Most steam distillation apparatuses generate their steam internally, but some use steam provided from a steam line. 

Liquid waste atomization can be achieved by any of the following atomizers rotary cup single-fluid pressure two-fluid, low-pressure air (internal mix) two-fluid, high-pressure air or steam (internal mix) and two-fluid, high-pressure air or steam (external mix).

Steam reforming of CH is commonly carried out at 750 to 900°C, thus at the lower operating temperature of MCFCs a high activity catalyst is required. The internal reforming of methane in IRMCFCs, where the steam-reforming reaction... 

Another hydrogenation process utilizes internally generated hydrogen for hydroconversion in a single-stage, noncatalytic, fluidized-bed reactor (41). Biomass is converted in the reactor, which is operated at about 2.1 kPa, 800°C, and residence times of a few minutes with steam-oxygen injection. About 95% carbon conversion is anticipated to produce a medium heat value (MHV) gas which is subjected to the shift reaction, scmbbing, and methanation to form SNG. The cold gas thermal efficiencies are estimated to be about 60%.

The objective in packaging cool sterilized products is to maintain the product under aseptic conditions, to sterilize the container and its Hd, and to place the product into the container and seal it without contamination. Contamination of the head space between the product and closure is avoided by the use of superheated steam, maintaining a high internal pressure, spraying the container surface with a bactericide such as chlorine, irradiation with a bactericidal lamp, or filling the space with an inert sterile gas such as nitrogen. 

Drum Drying. The dmm or roHer dryers used for milk operate on the same principles as for other products. A thin layer or film of product is dried over an internally steam-heated dmm with steam pressures up to 620 kPa (90 psi) and 149°C. Approximately 1.2—1.3 kg of steam ate requited per kilogram of water evaporated. The dry film produced on the roHer is scraped from the surface, moved from the dryer by conveyor, and pulverized, sized, cooled, and put iato a container. 

As the water evaporates into steam and passes on to the superheater, soHd matter can concentrate in a boHer s steam dmm, particularly on the water s surface, and cause foaming and unwanted moisture carryover from the steam dmm. It is therefore necessary either continuously or intermittently to blow down the steam dmm. Blowdown refers to the controHed removal of surface water and entrained contaminants through an internal skimmer line in the steam dmm. FHtration and coagulation of raw makeup feedwater may also be used to remove coarse suspended soHds, particularly organic matter. 

Power, Energy, and Drives. Centrifuges accomplish their function by subjecting fluids and soHds to centrifugal fields produced by rotation. Electric motors are the drive device most frequently used however, hydrauHc motors, internal combustion engines, and steam or air turbines are also used. One power equation appHes to all types of centrifuges and drive devices.

Hospital sterilizer loads vary in composition, thus the challenge presented to the test organism can vary considerably, depending on the type and contents of packages in which they are placed. The benefits of a standardized test-pack constmction and test protocol are obvious, and such recommendation is made by AAMI for steam and ethylene oxide sterilizers (11). More recentiy in European (CEN) and International (ISO) standards, biological indicators are considered as additional information supplemental to the measurement of physical parameters. Indeed, for sterilization using moist heat (steam), the biological indicator information is not considered to be relevant.
