A firebrick liner panel device is disclosed, which is used to expedite the brick liner installation in fireplaces in a more conventional fashion. The firebrick liner panel device comprises a panel component made of a fire brick liner and constructed in different sizes to fit a variety of fireplace walls to be lined. The panel component is constructed using a cement board or other planer surface. The brick is then placed in a pattern with spacers in between to create even separation of the bricks. Users then fill the joint spaces with mud, then a sheet of diamond mesh lath is positioned over the bricks. The user with a trowel, adds a 0.25 mud bed over the mesh and lets it dry. Once completed, the panel component is installed within the fireplace by a user with minimal mason experience.

A method of coating a component includes attaching the component to a support that is configured to hold a plurality of components and placing a base of the support in a holder that is attached to rotatable member of a fixture, wherein an axis of the holder is parallel to an axis of rotation of the rotatable member. The method also includes transporting the fixture into a coating chamber wherein a direction of an exit stream of a coater in oriented perpendicularly to the axis of rotation, exposing the fixture and the component to a reverse transfer arc cleaning/pre-heating procedure, and exposing the fixture and the component to a coating procedure during which a coating is directed at the component in a direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation while the rotatable member is rotating. The method further includes transporting the fixture and removing the component from the support fixture.

An article such as a heat shield panel includes a substrate and a multi-layered coating supported on the substrate. The multi-layered coating can include alternating layers of different ceramic material compositions having individual thicknesses of less than 25 micrometers.

A pyrolysis system for waste includes: a pyrolysis apparatus configured to receive waste and generate combustible gas by pyrolyzing the received waste; an emulsification apparatus connected to the pyrolysis apparatus and configured to produce pyrolysis oil by cooling condensable gas among the combustible gas generated by the pyrolysis apparatus and discharge non-condensable gas; and a combustion furnace connected to the emulsification apparatus and configured to receive and combust the non-condensable gas discharged from the emulsification apparatus, where the combustion furnace is configured to generate hot air by combusting the non-condensable gas, and supply the hot air to the pyrolysis apparatus to pyrolyze the waste.

A system includes a layered structure. The layered structure includes first and second coalesced layers and an intermediate layer disposed between the first and second coalesced layers. The first and second coalesced layers have a higher degree of coalescence than the intermediate layer.
