TREATING PER- AND POLY-FLUOROALKYL SUBSTANCES IN LANDFILL LEACHATE

The present disclosure provides for devices, systems, and methods of separating PFAS compounds from wastewater leachate. After separation, the PFAS compounds can be rendered less harmful. The present disclosure provides for devices, systems, and methods that uses aeration-induced foaming to isolate PFAS from landfill leachate into a concentrated, volume reduced liquid (coalesced foam), which can be separated and treated.

DEEPWATER CABIN-BASED CONSTRUCTED WETLAND TREATMENT SYSTEM

The present disclosure provides a deepwater cabin-based constructed wetland treatment system, including a cabin body, water inlet subsystems, a drainage subsystem, a micro-aeration subsystem, and a filtering scrapper subsystem. The micro-aeration subsystem includes a micro-porous aeration pipe and an air blower. The cabin body is filled with combined filler. The micro-porous aeration pipe is arranged at a bottom of the cabin body. The filtering scrapper subsystem is arranged above the combined filler. The water inlet subsystems are used for introducing wastewater to be purified onto the filtering scrapper subsystem. The filtering scrapper subsystem is used for performing filtering treatment on the wastewater to be purified to obtain filtered impurities and water after primary filtering, transporting the filtered impurities to a specified area, and introducing the water after the primary filtering onto the combined filler.

Universal Chemical Processor
20230130681 · 2023-04-27 ·

A universal chemical processor (UCP) including a reactor vessel with a main chamber, comprises inlets for feedstock, a fluidizing medium and reactants. The UCP further includes a reactive X-ray chemical processor (RXCP) having a large area hollow cylindrical cold cathode in the main chamber, a grid positioned concentrically with respect to the cathode, and an anode positioned concentrically with respect to the cathode and grid. In operation, when activated, the cathode of the RXCP emits electrodes onto the anode, which then emits X-rays into a radiation zone within the main chamber capable of ionizing feedstock and reactants, inducing chemical reactions, and sterilizing and decomposing organic materials within the radiation zone, and wherein, a fluidized bed is supported in the main chamber when the fluidizing medium and feedstock are supplied. The RXCP and the fluidized bed portions can be operated separately or in conjunction to achieve unanticipated results.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REMOVAL AND SEQUESTRATION OF ACIDITY FROM SURFACE SEAWATER

A method by which an environmental energy (e.g., wave energy) is harvested, converted into electrical power, and thereafter used to electrolyze seawater into hydrogen and chlorine gases. Those gases are recombined into hydrogen chloride from which is formed hydrochloric acid solution which is diluted and deposited at a depth sufficient to ensure its neutralization and sequestration for a significant period of time (e.g., for over a millennium). By removing chloride ions from a portion of the sea adjacent to its upper surface and depositing them into a portion of the sea more adjacent to its bottom, acidity is shifted from the surface to base of the sea, and the surface ocean is given a greater ability to absorb and buffer atmospheric carbon dioxide without a corresponding increase in acidity.

MOBILE CLEANING AND WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM

A mobile power washing system is provided. The system includes a mobile instant reclaim cleaning unit, a mobile water treatment vehicle operably coupled to the mobile instant reclaim cleaning unit, and a controller. The mobile instant reclaim cleaning unit includes an instant reclaim drivable vehicle and one or more high pressure cleaning heads disposed on the instant reclaim drivable vehicle. The mobile water treatment vehicle includes a drivable vehicle, a water treatment unit, a water treatment unit disposed on the drivable vehicle, at least one water tank operably coupled to the water treatment unit and disposed on the drivable vehicle, at least one water pump disposed on the drivable vehicle and configured to pump water from the at least one water tank to the mobile instant reclaim cleaning unit and a power source configured to power the at least one water pump.

Flow back separation system and method
11634953 · 2023-04-25 · ·

A flow back system for separating solids from a slurry recovered from a hydrocarbon well. The system includes a V-shaped tank with a first series of baffles configured to cause the settling of solids that are moved by a shaftless auger to a conduit fluidly connected to hydrocyclones mounted over a linear shaker. The overflow from the hydrocyclones is discharged through a second conduit back into the tank for processing by a second series of baffles resulting in a clean effluent. The clean effluent is recirculated in the well.
