Sodium bicarbonate ($NaHCO_3$) was used as a reactant for the removal of acid gases from a waste incinerator. The removal efficiencies of HCl and $SO_x$ were tested with a reactant mixing apparatus and a distributor installed at the bag filter inlet. It was shown that the stoichiometric ratio of $NaHCO_3$ to the acid gases which allows a removal of over 90% for both HCl and $SO_2$ was about 1.2. When a reactant mixing apparatus was installed on the duct, the removal efficiencies of HCl and $SO_2$ at the end of the duct were increased by approximately 1.5 and 3 times respectively, compared to when the apparatus was not installed. At the end of the bag filter, the removal efficiencies of the both were as high as 98% with a stoichiometric ratio of 1.35. Installing a reactant mixing apparatus on the duct and a distributor at the entrance of the bag filter and using $NaHCO_3$ as a reactant helped overcome the problem of low removal efficiencies of acid gases by dry scrubbing.

A cluster of servers is the most promising solution to provide highly scalable and highly available network services with low implementation cost. One of popular solutions is using dispatcher as a request distributor. However this solution has the problem that is can be the bottleneck or single-point of failure point of itself. ONE-IP, the previous work, solves this serious problem by using broadcast message for distributing the request packet in LAN. Using simple scheduling technique, in addition, the overhead due to dispatching the request becomes minimal. However, as ONE-IP using very simple static scheduling algorithm, it would spread the request among servers unevenly and downgrades the cluster performance consequently. In this paper, we propose an improved TCP connection scheduling technique solving this unbalanced distributing problem. Using Round-Robin(RR) scheduling instead of hashing clients IP address, proposed technique can more evenly distribute incoming service requests among the servers. Experiments show average 3.8% improved performance in throughput compared to original ONE-IP technique.
