Water Treatment System and Method of Use Thereof
The present disclosure relates a system for the treatment of water. The water treatment system may be linked an aquatic protection system or a water filtration system.
Systems and methods for shielded inductive devices
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.
BRINE SOLUTION CLEANING SYSTEMS, APPARATUSES, AND METHODS
Systems, apparatuses, and methods for cleaning brine solution are provided. In particular, one or more embodiments comprise a brine cleaning system that includes a brine cooker, a brine filter, and a brine storage unit. The brine cooker heats a dirty brine solution to separate the dirty brine solution into a liquid portion and a solids portion. The brine filter is coupled to the brine cooker to receive the liquid portion and the solids portion from the brine cooker and then substantially remove the solids portion. The brine storage unit is coupled to the brine filter to accumulate the liquid portion once the solids portion have been substantially removed by the brine filter. This allows for more efficient and environmentally friendly use of brine solution in the curing of animal.
Stripping apparatus
The present application relates to a method for removing an unreacted vinyl chloride monomer (VCM) in polyvinyl chloride (PVC). According to an illustrative stripping apparatus and a stripping method using the stripping apparatus of the present application, in a stripping process using steam, a temperature difference between a raw material including a target substance to be removed and steam is minimized to suppress foam generation in the stripping process, thereby increasing efficiency of removing the target substance to be removed, particularly, an unreacted VCM in PVC. In addition, a cleansing cycle to remove foams generated in the stripping apparatus can be reduced, thereby not only securing economic feasibility of the process, but also preventing degradation in quality of a final product that may occur when an antifoamer to remove the foams is used.

INDUSTRIAL WASTE TREATMENT PROCESS AND SYSTEM
A de-watering system for liquid industrial waste from an industrial cleaning process is provided. The liquid industrial waste has an initial water content, and comprises detergents and solid waste. A de-watering bed (430) holds the liquid industrial waste. Air in a first zone (420) is enclosed by a transparent structure (410) and is heated by the sun during daytime. A first controllable opening (450) controls a rate of flow of air in the first zone (420). Water from the liquid industrial waste evaporates into heated air in the first zone (420). An air removal conduit (440) allows heated air to vent to the atmosphere. A control system (380) selectively opens the first controllable opening (450), to regulate the flow of air. De-watering continues until a selectable end point, based on residual water content of the waste, or a final concentration of non-water components.
