An inline drain sanitizing system, includes: a manifold assembly including an inlet port, an outlet port, and a treatment port, wherein: the inlet port is configured to be couplable to a condensate supply line and receive unsanitized condensate, and the outlet port is configured to be couplable to a condensate drain line and provide sanitized condensate; and a treatment subsystem configured to interface with the treatment port and process the unsanitized condensate to generate the sanitized condensate.

A substrate treating apparatus and a substrate transporting method wherein a platform is disposed on a first ID block, and a platform is placed on a second ID block. A currently-used carrier platform is provided only on the first ID block. Accordingly, a substrate is transported in both a forward path and a return path between the first ID block and a second treating block. The substrate is returned not to the first ID block but to the second ID block disposed between the two treating blocks in the return path.

Aggregate washing systems are described including mechanisms for slurrying, washing and/or dewatering aggregate material.

A developing treatment apparatus for performing a developing treatment on a treatment object substrate. The developing treatment apparatus includes: a rotating and holding part that holds and rotates the treatment object substrate; a discharger that discharges a predetermined solution relating to the developing treatment to the treatment object substrate held on the rotating and holding part; and a destaticizer that supplies ions ionized by an X-ray to the predetermined solution discharged to the treatment object substrate held on the rotating and holding part, to destaticize the predetermined solution.

Systems for extracting solute from a source material are shown and described. Each of the systems includes: a solvent source container configured to store a cooled solvent, a canister configured to contain the source material and receive solvent to produce an extract solution, and one or more extract containers in communication configured to receive and distill the extract solution, the solvent source container being configured to receive a post-extraction portion of the solvent. In some examples, the one or more extract containers are first and second extract containers that are each selectively coupleable to the canister and are selectively removable for storage of the extract mixture or the solute. In some other examples, the system further includes a cooling mechanism coupled to the solvent source container for cooling the recycled solvent within the solvent collection container.

An insert assembly for a foam generating device includes a first insert and a second insert with a channel defined therethrough. Inserts may be formed by two shell halves that are coupleable to one another to define the channel. A plurality of ribs extends along an interior surface of the channel. Pad structures defined by porous media are provided in the channel and gripped by the plurality of ribs. The pads receive cleaning solution passing through the channel and cause foam to be generated by breaking-up the cleaning solution and agitating. The ribs may be arranged horizontally relative to a longitudinal axis of the insert assembly and retain the pads within the device. Inserts may be arranged in series along a longitudinal axis of the foam generating device with the pad structures arranged within the channel.

A cleaning system for oil and gas core samples includes a vapor extraction chamber configured to receive and drain liquid solvents, a movable portion including a movable tray, a lid and a sample cooler, a heater configured to provide heat to the chamber to produce heated and vaporized solvents, a vapor extraction chamber chiller, a controller, and a dryer. A method of cleaning oil and gas core samples includes a vapor extraction step and a drying step. The vapor extraction step includes transferring core samples into and sealing the vapor extraction chamber, heating liquid solvents and maintaining an elevated temperature and a positive pressure in the chamber until an extraction time expires, cooling and transferring the core samples out of the chamber. The drying step includes transferring the cleaned core samples into a dryer, drying the core samples until substantially free of solvents, and cooling the core samples.
