The invention relates an evaporator. The evaporator may include a drum. The drum may have a first portion and a second portion. The drum may include a product inlet positioned at the first portion of the drum, a product outlet positioned at the second portion of the drum, a vapor outlet, and an agitator. The evaporator may have a heating jacket and/or a product supply pipe. The heating jacket may be configured to surround the drum and/or to heat the product in the drum. The product supply pipe may be positioned outside the drum and/or may extend from the second portion of the drum to the product inlet positioned at the first portion of the drum. The product supply pipe may be in direct contact with the heating jacket.

The nature of the technical disclosure contained in the attached utility patent application is the methodology by which liquid and particulate contaminants are removed from used, dirty engine and machinery oil. The methodology includes the use of heat, vacuum and high pressure filtering.

A filter press system for water desalination may comprise: a frame; a plurality of filter plates configured to form a stack of parallel plates, each of filter plates being movably attached to the frame, the filter plates further being configured to form a multiplicity of chambers, each of the chambers being formed by adjacent filter plates, each of the chambers being lined by filter cloths and substantially filled with beads, wherein the plurality of filter plates, the multiplicity of chambers and the filter cloths are configured to allow water vapor to escape from the chambers while retaining salts from the water to form a filter cake; a heater, for heating the water in the chambers; a condenser for condensing the water vapor; and a separator for separating the beads from the filter cake after the filter cake is released from the chambers.

A plasma gas water ionization purification system that purifies waste water into clean water by removing inert waste solids from the waste water. The plasma gas water ionization purification system includes an ionization chamber and a plasma emitting device. The ionization chamber receives the waste water. The plasma emitting device is operatively connected to the ionization chamber and generates a stream of plasma to heat the waste water in the ionization chamber to generate purified steam from the waste water, thereby resulting in separation of the purified steam from the inert waste solids in the waste water, with the purified steam then being condensed into liquid form forming the clean water, which is collected for later use.

The current disclosure relates to a precursor capsule for holding a precursor for a vapor deposition process. The precursor capsule comprises a vapor-permeable shell configured to define a precursor space, and to allow precursor in vapor form to leave the precursor capsule under vaporization conditions. The disclosure further relates to a precursor vessel comprising capsules according to the current disclosure, to a vapor deposition apparatus and a method.

A system of fluid sterilization of fluid of vessel is provided, such as sterilization of ballast water for a water vessel. The system incorporates a heating section to heat pressurized fluid above prescribed thresholds for temperature, pressure, and duration (e.g., dwell time) to achieve desired levels of sterilization, including a heat exchanger to both (a) preheat fluid prior to entering the heating section and (b) cool outflow of the heating apparatus, in which fluid travels through the apparatus by operating valves forward and aft of the heating section in a controlled sequence to facilitate flow through the system while maintaining prescribed pressure and temperature profiles. The system operates within prescribed ranges of pressure and temperature to achieve the desired level of sterilization without need of maintaining a fixed temperature or a fixed pressure within any portion of the system, including the heating section.

In an embodiment, a circuit includes: a transformer defining an inductive footprint within a first layer; a grounded shield bounded by the inductive footprint within a second layer separate from the first layer; and a circuit component bounded by the inductive footprint within a third layer separate from the second layer, wherein: the circuit component is coupled with the transformer through the second layer, and the third layer is separated from the first layer by the second layer.

The present invention is related to an advanced control methodincluding a fast response methodto stabilize, optimize and or maximize the output flow of an evaporation unit via ultrasonic controlled sound or vibration applied to the said evaporation unit. The invention further provides equipment wherein said method is being implemented, such as an evaporation or separation unit.

An atmospheric water generation system comprises water vapor consolidation systems configured to increase the relative humidity of a controlled air stream prior to condensing water from the controlled air stream. The water vapor consolidation system comprises a fluid-desiccant flow system configured to decrease the temperature of the desiccant to encourage water vapor to be absorbed by the desiccant from an atmospheric air flow. The desiccant flow is then heated to encourage water vapor evaporation from the desiccant flow into a controlled air stream that circulates within the system. The humidity of the controlled air stream is thereby increased above the relative humidity of the atmospheric air to facilitate condensation of the water vapor into usable liquid water.
