Systems and methods for dissolving ozone gas in a liquid. An embodiment can comprise a tank having an upper region, a lower region, and a discharge outlet, all disposed in a specified geometry. A pump can be coupled with a liquid inlet in order to receive a liquid therefrom and to deliver the liquid via a pipe to the upper region of the tank. The pump can be coupled with the lower region of the tank in order to receive the liquid from the tank and to recirculate the liquid to the upper region of the tank. The apparatus can include an ozone inlet to receive ozone into the tank. The ozone inlet can comprise a venturi inlet disposed on the pipe downstream of the pump. The liquid can be released from the tank and depressurized, thereby providing for the ozone to emerge from the liquid as gas bubbles. The released liquid can be selected for a two-stage gas and aqueous cleaning process.

A chemical mixer tool for use in a storage drum is described. The chemical mixer tool typically comprises a mixer housing assembly in which one end of a mixer shaft is secured, the distal end of the mixer shaft having at least one collapsible impeller assembly removably attached thereon. The chemical mixer tool is configured to be removably secured to the top portion of the storage drum, with the distal end of the mixing shaft extending into the interior of the storage drum.

The invention comprises a vacuum attachment with multiple ports which easily attaches to an open top container to remove concrete/mortar dust and particulates from the air when mixing concrete/mortar with water. The vacuum attached in configured to fit securely on a variety of containers of different sizes. Further, the vacuum attachment attaches easily to any standard vacuum machine. The vacuum attachment may have lateral segments which provide spacing for two curved portions which terminate in multiple ports. The curved portions may be positioned at the top of the container with the ports facing downward into the container. When a vacuum machine is attached and activated, the vacuum attachment is able to efficiently remove dust particles from the air inside the container. Multiple vacuum attachments may also be used simultaneously by connecting a Y splitter hose to each of the vacuum machine attachment ports of the vacuum attachments.

A low-cost drug compounding system that can practically fit inside of a fume hood or the like is provided. The system can use a single pump operable in forward and reverse directions (or multiple pumps) to compound complex mixtures particularly including those requiring the creation of solutions from dry or powdered ingredients. A wireless link allows operation of the system remotely. In one embodiment, the system uses a disposable mixing tube set that can be discarded after mixing while still attached to the base ingredient containers used for the compounding thereby minimize the chance of personnel exposure.

A system for bone cement includes a vial holder configured for receiving a vial and including a holding structure for maintaining the vial in the vial holder. The vial includes a monomer component for bone cement. A holder chamber is configured to receive and secure the vial holder. The vial holder is advanced toward a vial-breaking device for breaking the vial and releasing its contents into the holder chamber past the elastomeric seal. Once the vial holder is advanced further the elastomeric seal is deformed to form a seal and prevent fumes produced from escaping from the device.

The present application provides a method and a system for recycling a polymer. The method includes introducing polymer into a primary melting extruder, producing a polymer melt that is combined with a fluid oil to at least partially dissolve the polymer melt. A secondary mixing extruder mixes these to form a polymer solution that is introduced into a refinery oil stream, producing a polymer-comprising oil stream, which is fed into a refinery process unit. The system includes a primary melting extruder for forming a polymer melt from polymer. A secondary mixing extruder receives the polymer melt. One or more hydrocarbon inflow conduits for providing a fluid oil to the primary melting extruder and/or the secondary mixing extruder are configured to form a polymer solution from the fluid oil and the polymer melt. There is a feed system outlet for feeding the polymer solution to a refinery oil stream.

A container (100) within which a food product is to be processed. The container (100) includes: a hollow body (101) providing an interior chamber (110) to receive the product and within which the product is processed, the body (101) having a rim portion (104) surrounding a body top opening (106); a removable lid (107) sealingly associated with the rim portion (104) to close the top opening (106), the lid (107) having: a base (111) sealingly associated with the rim portion (104), the base (111) having a base opening (115) providing access to the chamber (110) and a sealing surface (157) surrounding the base opening (115), a removable valve assembly (112) located in the base opening (115) and sealingly associated with the base (111) to close the base opening (115), the valve assembly (112) including: a main part (122) associated with the base (111) to removably secure the valve assembly (112) in the base opening (115), a seal (123) mounted on the main part (122) and engaging the sealing surface (157), an air opening (131) in the main part (122) providing for air flow from the chamber (110) to exterior of the container (100), a valve (132) operatively associated with the air opening (131) to close the air opening (131) to at least inhibit air flow from exterior of the container (100) to said chamber (110) but permit air flow from the chamber (110) to the exterior, and wherein a cavity (156) is provided between the base (111) and main part (122), leading to said seal (123), with the cavity (156) including a first cavity portion (151) and a second cavity portion (153), with the first cavity portion (151) being configured relative to the second cavity portion (153) to at least partly dissipate kinetic energy of liquid being propelled from the interior (110) into the cavity (156).

A method of making a personal care composition that involves using a mixer to combine a personal care composition chassis with microcapsules. The mixer has a housing, a first fluid inlet, a second inlet, a fluid outlet and a rotor connected to the housing. The rotor has blades positioned within the housing to define cells between neighboring blades and the housing. The personal care composition chassis, which includes surfactants and water, is advanced along a flow path from the first fluid inlet toward the fluid outlet, while the microcapsules are transferred from the second inlet to the flow path by rotating the rotor. Air in the microcapsule composition is directed from inside the cells toward the second inlet, and the microcapsule composition is combined with the personal care composition chassis to form the personal care composition. The personal care composition is advanced from the outlet.
