5507927 Method and apparatus for the controlled reduction of organic material
New Patents
A method for recycling waste lubrication oil for use as fuel oil includes pumping new fuel oil from a source and monitoring the flow rate of the new fuel oil; pumping waste oil from a source through at least one filter and adjusting the flow rate of the waste oil according to the monitored flow rate of the new fuel oil and a preselected blend ratio; combining the filtered waste oil with the fuel oil in a static mixer; and dehydrating the blended oil prior to dispensation. An apparatus for performing the method includes a fuel pump fluidly coupled to a source of fuel oil and fluidly feeding a flow meter which is electrically coupled to a control circuit. A waste oil pump is fluidly coupled to a source of waste oil and to at least one depth media filter and is electrically coupled to the control circuit. The outputs of the flow meter and the depth media filter are fluidly coupled to a static mixer which is fluidly coupled to a coalescer. The output of the coalescer supplies a clean, dehydrated blend of fuel oil and waste oil. The control circuit adjusts the flow rate of the waste oil pump according to the flow meter and a preselected ratio of fuel oil to waste oil in infinite increments from 0 to 10%.

5507946 APPARATUS FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT Stearns Donald M Cocoa, FL, UNITED STATES assigned to PEC Research Inc A process for treating wastewater containing insoluble solid waste material and soluble solid waste material including the following series of steps: (1) controlling the oxygen content of the wastewater to a level at which growth of anaerobic bacteria is substantially eliminated, (2) separating the insoluble solid waste material from the wastewater, (3) treating the soluble solid material in the wastewater with a predetermined amount of aerobic bacteria, and (4) reducing the amount of aerobic bacteria in the wastewater. The insoluble solid waste material separated from the wastewater can be burned to produce electrical energy. Apparatus for carrying out the process are also disclosed.

5507927 METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR THE CONTROLLED REDUCTION OF ORGANIC MATERIAL Emery Charles L Colborne, CANADA assigned to Emery Microwave Management Inc There is provided a new and useful method and apparatus for the controlled non-pyrolytic reduction of organic material comprising subjecting the material to microwave radiation in a reducing atmosphere.
Decontamination laundering facilities and methods are disclosed including a washer area, a filtering area automatically monitoring and controlling cleaning fluid quality discharged to the environment, a clean area, and apparatus and methods for automatically timing waste water sampling. Automatic timing includes controlling and actuating the date and time of day for taking a sample and the duration of the timing cycle, and relay means for closing and opening circuits connected electrically to timer contacts for energizing components of the waste water sampling.
