Materials which react with (scavenge) sulfur compounds, such as hydrogen sulfide and mercaptans, are used to limit sulfur-induced corrosion. Filters and protective coatings including these materials, described broadly as polyhexahydrotriazines (PHT) and polyhemiaminals (PHA), are disclosed. Methods of using these materials to prevent corrosion are described. PHT and PHA materials have excellent thermal and mechanical properties for many applications as coatings and filtration media. Specifically, PHT and PHA materials react with sulfur compounds in such a manner as to incorporate sulfur atoms into the polymeric matrix, thus sequestering the sulfur atoms and allowing removal from fluids such as crude oil, natural gas, hydrocarbon combustion exhaust gases, sulfur polluted air and water. A coating PHT or PHA material on a component to be protected similarly reacts with sulfur compounds prior to sulfur being able to penetrate to the component.

A water filtration system and method combining the porous, filtering medium of activated charcoal with anti-algae effects of barley straw. Ground activated charcoal and ground barley straw are compressed into filtration matrices. Compressed filtration matrices are configured to be housed within a mesh container and for placement within an open pond or water tank. The water filtration system and method filters contaminants and inhibits algae growth in the water, thus cleaning, filtering, and clarifying the water.

A system and method for in situ dewatering and stabilizing waste material deposits previously created from sluicing into a waste impoundment. The method includes access for installation of wells and grading for surface drainage and storm water control. If free water is present, primary dewatering siphons or decants the free water in the pond. The system includes vertical dewatering well installation that requires drilling, well completion materials for filtering leachate, and well pump installation for removing leachate from the well. Collection piping collects leachate from the wells and transfers the leachate to a discharge solution. The dewatering operation collects and removes leachate from the pond ash deposit and impoundment, reuses or treats the leachate at a discharge solution, remediates contaminants and/or hydraulic head in the impoundment, and consolidates and stabilizes the dewatered solids. Impoundment closure includes horizontal drains, final grading, final cover or overfill landfill development, and post closure.

Process vessels can contain one or more entry zones containing stability-improving materials. The entry zones address bed movement and filtration problems. The stability-improving material can be positioned above a treating zone or above a processing bed within the vessel. Entry Zones are intended to improve the stability of downstream operations.
