A system and method for decontaminating a fluid and recovered vapor, particularly processing and recycling water used in an oil zone steam process, utilizing a vaporizer-desalination unit to separate a contaminated water flow into a contaminated disposal flow and a clean water vapor flow. The contaminated water flow is recovered after separation from a combined oil and water flow from an oil well. The clean water vapor flow is preferably passed through a steam generator to produce the steam used in the oil zone steam process. The steam is injected into the oil zone of a designated well and then extracted as the combined oil and water flow. Once primed with sufficient external water, the system and method is designed to operate continuously with minimal replenishment because of the water/vapor/steam cycle.

An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a bis(fluorosulfonyl)amide alkali metal salt powder having high purity while suppressing reduction in yield due to thermal decomposition, etc. The method for producing a bis(fluorosulfonyl)amide alkali metal salt powder according to the present invention comprises precipitating a bis(fluorosulfonyl)amide alkali metal salt by conducting distillation using a thin-film evaporator while adding a poor solvent for the bis(fluorosulfonyl)amide alkali metal salt such as an aromatic hydrocarbon solvent and a linear or branched aliphatic hydrocarbon solvent to a solution formed by dissolving the bis(fluorosulfonyl)amide alkali metal salt in a good solvent for the bis(fluorosulfonyl)amide alkali metal salt such as an ester solvent and nitrile solvent.

A system and process for decontaminating a bio-contaminated wastewater fluid as from a slaughterhouse or similar facility. The system and process recovers purified vapor/steam through a decontamination unit having a plurality of alternating rotating trays and fixed baffles in a processing vessel producing separate purified and contaminant streams. One or more filter/strainer units are disposed in parallel before the decontamination unit, and may be used alternately while the other is cleaned. A rotating shaft connected to the rotating trays may also connected to an electrical generator to provide electricity for circuits and controls in the system.

The disclosure provides methods and compositions for providing shatter formulations taking the form of crystalline polymorphs, where methods of preparation include preparing tetrahydrocannabinol acid (THCA) powder followed by decarboxylating THCA and removal of terpenes.

A small processor produces potable water from contaminated water. Its components mount in a hermetically sealed housing, which include a boiler-condenser assembly and a compressor unit. Contaminated water is injected onto one or more aluminum shells' inside surface of the boiler-condenser assembly. Shell rotation enhances boiling heat transfer by causing the water to form thin films on the shells' inside surface. Shell rotation also enhances condensing heat transfer by assisting in removing the purified condensate from the shells' outer surface. The change of phase heat of condensation energy from vapor to liquid transfers through the shells to the boilers to cause boiling. Vapor boiled inside the boiler chambers flows toward the compressor, which raises the vapor's pressure and temperature to drive the process. Shell rotation causes centrifugal force that holds and directs concentrated un-boiled remaining water on the shells' inside walls towards the output pumps. Wipers mounted adjacent each shell's boiler surface smooth contaminated water. Wipers adjacent the condenser surfaces help remove condensate from that surface to present a clean condenser for improved condensation.

The present disclosure relates to isolating one or more cannabinoids from an input mixture. There is disclosed an apparatus that comprises a mixing vessel, a volatizing unit, and a distillation unit. The mixing vessel combines a first input mixture and a high boiling-point carrier agent to generate a second input mixture. The volatizing unit volatilizes cannabinoids from the second input mixture for separating the mixture into a cannabinoid-containing vapor stream and a residue. The distillation unit receives the cannabinoid-containing vapor stream and separates a first cannabinoid from at least a second cannabinoid. There are also disclosed methods that comprise the steps of combining a first input mixture with a high boiling-point carrier agent to provide a second input mixture, volatilizing the second input mixture into a vapor stream containing one or more cannabinoids and a residue, and separating a first cannabinoid from a second in the distillation unit.
