ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a system for removing an organic compound capable of forming a negative azeotrope mixture with water from a vapor stream using condensation, comprising a conducting system for providing a path for communicating the vapor stream into a condensation region; first sensing apparatus positioned in the path and operable for detecting and for evaluating the mass rate flow of the organic compound in the vapor stream flowing towards the condensation region; a second sensing apparatus positioned in the path operable for sensing the temperature in the condensation region; first supplying apparatus operable for supplying water in the form of a mist or vapor into the vapor stream; second supplying apparatus operable for supplying a hydrophobic agent into the vapor stream; third supplying apparatus operable for supplying air at a predetermined temperature into the vapor stream so that the temperature of the vapor stream is at a temperature at least above the lowest boiling point of the mixture of the organic compound and water; condensing apparatus positioned to contact the vapor stream in the condensation region with the added water and hydrophobic agent for condensing the vapor stream; and cooling apparatus coupled to the condensing apparatus and operable for maintaining the temperature difference between the condensing apparatus and the local vapor stream sufficient to induce substantial condensation of the vapor stream.
