A neutralization/water separation tank for an esterified product including: a neutralization part in which a crude product mixture containing alcohol and an ester compound, a neutralizing agent, and water are put to produce a neutralized mixture; a water separation part which divides the neutralized mixture into a floating layer and an aqueous layer; a first partition wall which extends upward from a bottom surface to provide an upper passage and by which the neutralization part and the water separation part are partitioned; and a second partition wall which extends downward from a ceiling to provide a lower passage, wherein the water separation part includes: a first water separation part into which the neutralized mixture is introduced from the neutralization part through the upper passage; and a second water separation part into which the neutralized mixture is introduced from the first water separation part through the lower passage, wherein the first water separation part and the second water separation part are partitioned by the second partition wall.

A method, system, and apparatus directed to an innovative approach for the treatment of stormwater utilizing hydrodynamic separator assembly designed to maximize flow movement for more efficient sediment removal and maximize clearance space within assembly to facilitate cleaning and increase storage capacity of trash, debris, and sediment.

The present invention provides a method and system for separating a liquid from organic particles. The mixer-settler extraction cell includes a flow distributor. The flow distributor comprises a chevron-shaped series of welded plates, which separates the incoming flow stream of liquid and organic particles from one another.

A neutralization/water separation device for an esterified product including: a neutralization tank in which a crude product mixture containing alcohol and an ester compound, a neutralizing agent, and water are put to produce a neutralized mixture; a water separation tank disposed below the neutralization tank to divide the neutralization mixture into a floating layer and an aqueous layer; a partition wall extending downward from a ceiling of the water separation tank to provide a lower passage in the water separation tank; and a transfer line that transfers the neutralized mixture from the neutralization tank to the water separation tank, where the water separation tank includes: a first water separation part into which the neutralized mixture is introduced from the neutralization tank through the transfer line; and a second water separation part into which the neutralized mixture is introduced from the first water separation part through the lower passage, where the first water separation part and the second water separation part are partitioned by the partition wall.

A method of separating a flow of multi-phase fluid includes directing the flow through the inlet opening of an enclosed tubular body comprising a tubular sidewall with opposed end walls, one or more axial outlet apertures formed through the end walls, and one or more radial outlet apertures formed through the tubular sidewall at locations spaced from the inlet opening. The method also includes directing the flow of multi-phase fluid onto one or more swirl plates positioned between the inlet opening and the outlet apertures, with the swirl plates having angled surfaces configured to impart a cyclonic motion to the flow so as to initiate separation of the constituents of the multi-phase. The method further includes directing the gas constituent axially outward through the axial outlet aperture and directing the oil constituent and the water constituent radially outward from the tubular body through the one or more radial outlet apertures.

A method of forming a honeycomb-shaped assembly comprises providing a plurality of profiled strips. Each of the profiled strips comprises two base sides positioned at an obtuse angle relative to each other to form a trough-shaped configuration. An inner projecting flange and an outer projecting flange extend from the base sides. One of the inner projecting flange and outer projecting flange comprises an groove. Two connecting sides each extend along a plane from one of the two base sides and each includes at least one free end including a projection. The plurality of profiled strips are stacked to form an octagonal honeycomb configuration by inserting the projection of a connecting side of one of the plurality of profiled strips into the groove of a base side of another of the plurality of profiled strips. At least a portion of the projection is received by the groove in an interlocking manner.

Cannabinoid candy foodstuff compositions are described comprising a binding agent, and an emulsifier, wherein the composition includes a cannabinoid microemulsion and/or a cannabinoid nanoemulsion to enhance bioavailability of said cannabinoid when introduced into a human and/or an animal to have an active effect. The composition includes a biosynthetic cannabinoid derived from a genetically modified microorganism or a non-biosynthetic cannabinoid derived from cannabis plants, and may include an acid, an extrudate, a sugar coating, an insect lipid, a flavoring, a terpene, a medium chain triglyceride, glycerin, a microorganism, a sweetener, an oil, a drug such as psilocybin or MDMA, melatonin, a fiber-starch material, a density improving textural supplement, or a moisture improving textural supplement.

A waste oil handling apparatus features a tank with draining compartments for receiving waste oil containers in inverted and elevated positions above the tank floor. Multiple drain ports communicate with the tank interior at different elevations relative to the floor for draining accumulated contents of varying density that have gravitationally separated into distinct layers at those elevations. The ports feature adjustable fittings for adjusting the levels from which the layered contents are drawn through the ports from the tank interior. The tank has a large cleanout access by which personnel can access the tank interior for thorough cleanout. The compartments are organized into one or more troughs, each having a pivotal lid thereon. Lift brackets under the floor enable lifted transport of the tank by pallet jack or forklift.

Methods that reduce fouling of equipment in a quench water recycling loop of a steam cracker quench system by separating tar from water in the quench water recycling loop. The methods may include settling a bottom stream comprising pyrolysis gasoline, from a quench tower, in at least two quench water settlers in parallel, each of the quench water settlers producing a settler hydrocarbon stream and a settler bottom quench water stream. The methods may also include mixing a bottom stream comprising pyrolysis gasoline, from a quench tower, with quench tower effluent water to form a combined stream. The method may further include settling the combined stream in at least two quench water settlers in parallel to produce settler hydrocarbon streams, settler bottom quench water streams, and settler process water streams.
