A watercraft for breeding aquatic organisms, including an aquaculture facility and a device for feeding water into the aquaculture facility so that water intended to be fed into the aquaculture facility can escape from a body of water in which the watercraft is floating. A feed opening for receiving the water from the body of water is open in the longitudinal direction of the watercraft and/or is arranged below a water line of the watercraft. The feed opening is arranged on the hull of the watercraft, preferably on the bow. The watercraft includes a device for letting out water from the aquaculture facility to the body of water. An outlet opening of the outlet device is open in the longitudinal direction of the watercraft and/or is arranged below the water line of the watercraft. The outlet opening preferably being arranged on the hull of the watercraft, on the bow thereof.

An apparatus and a method are provided for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) home air filter to remove airborne molecular contaminants and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from air within residential spaces. The HVAC home air filter comprises a supportive frame having a shape and size suitable to orient the HVAC home air filter within a residential HVAC system. A filter medium is retained within the supportive frame to remove the airborne molecular contaminants and VOCs from air flowing through the residential HVAC system. The filter medium comprises a combination of media layers configured to exhibit a relatively high filtration efficiency and a low air pressure drop across the filter medium. The supportive frame comprises a plurality of elongate sections and corner sections disposed along perimeter edges of the filter medium to support the filter medium within the residential HVAC system so as direct air through the filter medium.

An airborne particulate suppression system is disclosed as it may be implemented for cleaning diesel particulate filter (DPF) devices. In an example, the airborne particulate suppression system includes a containment area having an air inlet to receive air containing soot and an air outlet to exhaust air cleaned of the soot. The airborne particulate suppression system includes a supply basin for a scrubbing agent. The airborne particulate suppression system also includes a coil having a plurality of spray nozzles to spray the scrubbing agent into the containment area. A pump provides the scrubbing agent to the coil at a pumping rate configured to spray the scrubbing agent from the plurality of spray nozzles and onto the air with soot to clean the air of the soot.

An internal combustion engine exhaust modification system for transforming exhaust emissions from an internal combustion engine into modified exhaust emissions. The exhaust modification system includes a housing extending between inlet and outlet ends thereof. The system also includes an impeller rotatably mounted in the housing, and a filter subassembly downstream from the impeller. The filter subassembly removes part of particulate matter and liquid droplets in the exhaust emissions to transform the exhaust emissions into modified exhaust emissions. The system includes a conduit extending between an inner end thereof positioned to direct cooler air exiting therefrom into the housing toward the filter subassembly, and an outer end thereof. The system also includes a funnel subassembly having a funnel body for directing the cooler air into the outer end of the conduit.

A diesel particulate filter cleaning machine. The filter is filed with a soaking solution comprising water and a surfactant and retained within the filter during a soaking interval. The filter is placed in a rinsing station after the soaking interval. A rinse water head positioned above an upper surface of the filter supplies rinse water into the filter, the rinse water passes through and drains from the filter. During the rinsing process, an actuator moves the rinse water head relative to the upper surface of the filter. A drain receives the rinse water after draining from the filter.
