An air purifying system includes a robot cleaner configured to generate map information during vacuum cleaning and at least one air purifier that is operated based on the generated map information. Air purifying is performed using updated map information acquired by the robot cleaner during cleaning. The at least one air purifier includes two portable air purifiers mounted on a base air purifier. The two portable air purifiers are configured to be lifted from the base air purifier and moved to separate indoor rooms. The base air purifier includes a controller that determines, based on the generated map information and other information, which rooms the two portable air purifiers should be placed in so that air purifying may be efficient.

An air purifying system includes first, second, and third air purifiers controlled independently and a docking station having first, second, and third supports configured to support and charge the first, second, and third air purifiers. The docking station has a vertical backbone, and the first, second, and third supports horizontally extend from the backbone. At least the second and third air purifiers are configured to be separated from the docking station and include handles to assist a user in transporting the second and third air purifiers to separate rooms or indoor spaces.

A fluid chamber assembly is disclosed that includes a housing defining at least one de-aeration opening, and a barrier within the housing that divides an interior of the housing into a first chamber and a second chamber. The barrier includes at least one perforation. The barrier can have a curved profile. The at least one perforation can include multiple perforations. The at least one perforation can have a conical profile.

A flow back system for separating solids from a slurry recovered from a hydrocarbon well. The system includes a V-shaped tank with a first series of baffles configured to cause the settling of solids that are moved by a shaftless auger to a conduit fluidly connected to hydrocyclones mounted over a linear shaker. The overflow from the hydrocyclones is discharged through a second conduit back into the tank for processing by a second series of baffles resulting in a clean effluent. The clean effluent is recirculated in the well.

An air purifier with an integrated air filtering mask includes a housing having a housing-base and a housing-body. The housing-base is provided with a filter-tube coupling portion and a plurality of air inlet holes around the filter-tube coupling portion. The housing-body is provided with a fan receiving slot and a plurality of air owlet boles passing through the fan receiving slot. A fan is disposed in the fan receiving slot. A casing has'a mask and a conduit. The mask is detachably coupled with the fan receiving slot, and is provided a circulation port and a window. A first port of the conduit is detachably coupled with the filter-tube coupling portion of the housing. A second port of the conduit communicates with the circulation port of the mask. An air filter is disposed at the first port of the conduit.

A combination marine exhaust gas scrubber and ballast disinfection system using seawater/water surrounding a ship to reduce/scrub smoke-stack emissions and produce a disinfected seawater/water for ballast, which can then be periodically or continually discharged back into the seawater/water body without concern for the spread of non-invasive species.

The present invention generally relates to a method for separating solids from liquid in a slurry comprising solids and a liquid (e.g., an aqueous solution). More specifically, the method comprises contacting an effective amount of a high molecular weight polymeric flocculant with the slurry in a tanker truck or as the slurry is flowing to the truck, allowing the solids to settle during a settling time whereby the solids settle to the bottom of the tanker truck, and the liquid is removed from the tanker truck at a level above the settled solids. The high molecular weight polymeric flocculant can comprise repeat units derived from a cationic monomer, an anionic monomer, a nonionic monomer, or a combination thereof.

A stormwater management inlet prefilter for system use in green infrastructure which typically includes either biofiltration (e.g. bioretention, tree planters, gravel wetlands) or infiltration (e.g. leech fields, dry wells, infiltration trenches and basins) that both provide recharge of stormwater runoff to groundwater aquifers and treated discharge to surface waters. The system can be used as an edge of curb system, a drop inlet, or inline. The system can be used both in retrofit or new installations and extends the operating life and reduces the maintenance burden of stormwater management systems by filtering out trash and debris at the inlet. The system enables the simplified maintenance of stormwater management systems at the inlet in an accessible location with no special equipment required. Installation is simple and comparable to common catch basins and grates. Preferably, the system is made of pre-cast concrete, HDPE, and stainless steel and is resistant to rust and rot from corrosive winter runoff. No special equipment necessary and maintenance is simple and utilizes standard vacuum trucks for catch basin cleaning by use of a pressure washer and vacuum equipment.

An overflow system for a hopper dredger comprises an overflow tube; an inlet for taking in head water from the hopper; and a collector to collect the flow of head water entering the inlet and guide the flow to the overflow tube. The collector comprises a substantially horizontal top portion which delineates a top of a flowpath for head water into the collector to ensure substantially radial flow into the collector. At least one of the overflow tube and the inlet is adjustable for controlling flow into the overflow system.

A mobile system and method for separating lubricants from swarf material streams provides on-site recovery of lubricants in an efficient, effective, sustainable and economic manner. The system thus reduces the need to transport relatively large volumes of swarf and lubricant material stream to a remote location for disposal. The system includes swarf of various types, for example, aluminum, steel, precious metals, plastic, etc. mixed with various water based or oil based lubricants. A trailer or motor vehicle containing a power supply, a basket centrifuge(s) connected to the power supply for powered operation thereof, a live bottom conveyor for supplying swarf to the centrifuges, a portable feed hopper with attached augers for supplying swarf to the live bottom conveyor, a bag liner to filter the extracted lubricant as it exits the basket, a crane for lifting the bag liner out of the basket, a container to accumulate the dried swarf, a container to accumulate the extracted lubricant.
