System and method for groundwater remediation
11767233 · 2023-09-26 · ·

A groundwater remediation system includes a capillary media supported and positioned such that it is partially submerged into a groundwater source to be remediated. Groundwater is drawn into the submerged portion of the capillary media and further into the non-submerged portion of the capillary material via natural capillary action. As the water evaporates from the non-submerged portion of the capillary media, the dissolved solids within the water precipitate onto the media leaving the precipitated solids for reclamation or disposal and allowing the cleaned water vapor to disperse into the ambient air. In some embodiments, heat may be added to the media, water, or air to accelerate the evaporative process.

Rotary evaporator capable of accurately quantifying distillate
11801452 · 2023-10-31 · ·

The present invention provides a rotary evaporator capable of accurately quantifying concentrated liquid and/or distillate. A distillation flask is improved into a structure having a liquid discharge opening formed at the bottom, and/or a spherical collecting flask is improved into a structure having a liquid release opening formed at the bottom. Concentrated liquid and/or distillate can be discharged without dismounting the distillation flask and/or the collecting flask. In addition, fine metering scale tubes and quantitative capacity increase units are disposed at the liquid discharge opening and/or the liquid release opening, there is a valve on the top and another valve on the bottom of each tube, so that the constant subtle changes of the amount of concentrated liquid and/or distillate can be observed, and an accurate amount of concentrated liquid and/or distillate can be discharged.

Apparatus for preparation of pharmacologically-relevant compounds from botanical sources
10888595 · 2021-01-12 ·

In a system and process for selectively purifying various pharmacologically-relevant components of a source plant such as cannabis, an initial step provides a low-temperature, robust essential oil/terpene capture that also dehydrates and decarboxylates the starting productfresh raw cannabisby means of a vacuum-assisted microwave distillation process. By doing the terpene capture under vacuum distillation temperature may be kept low. The low distillation temperature maximizes yields of thermally-sensitive components such as terpenes and cannabinoids. The system includes an oil/water separator configured to prevent leakage of ambient air into the system.
