Transportable Reactor Tank

US Patent:
2011018, Aug 4, 2011
Filed:
Feb 1, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/019113
Inventors:
Dennis McGuire - Stuart FL, US
Sanjeev Jakhete - Stuart FL, US
International Classification:
C02F 1/78
US Classification:
210760, 2101981
Abstract:
Disclosed is an improved water treatment apparatus. The treatment apparatus is pressurized and operates on a continuous flow of fluids which are subjected to hydrodynamic waves, acoustic ultrasonic waves in combination with injected ozone. The treatment tank includes a tangential inlet that induces a rotating flow into the tank thereby increasing the mixing of the ozone within the effluent. The ozonated fluid is further electro chemically treated with DC current. The treatment tank provides a cost efficient and environmentally friendly process and apparatus for cleaning and recycling fluids as contaminated as frac water, used to stimulate gas production from shale formations, as well as other types of fluids having various levels of contaminants such as aerobic and anaerobic bacteria and suspended solids. The calcium carbonate scaling tendency is reduced to an acceptable level without the use of acids, ion exchange materials, or anti scaling chemicals which is of economical and environmental significance and benefit. The treatment apparatus is modular in construction and compact in overall configuration. The modular design makes the treatment apparatus easy to install, maintain, repair, replace and transport. The treatment apparatus and associated equipment is sized and configured to be mounted within a truck trailer body.

Precipitation Of Hardness Salt In Flow Back And Produced Water

US Patent:
2011025, Oct 27, 2011
Filed:
Apr 23, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/765998
Inventors:
Dennis McGuire - Stuart FL, US
Sanjeev Jakhete - Stuart FL, US
International Classification:
C02F 9/06, C02F 1/461
US Classification:
205755, 204232
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for reducing the scaling tendency of fracture-treatment flow back water and oil field brine by the precipitation of hardness salts using carbon dioxide as a carbonate donor. The apparatus includes a treatment conduit comprised of a plurality of segments. The treatment conduit includes a plurality of anode surfaces, a plurality of heated cathode surfaces each associated with an ultrasonic transducer and an arrangement for injecting carbon dioxide into the stream of raw water. The injection of carbon dioxide from an external source helps to reduce the pH of the water and to prevent scaling by softening the water thereby eliminating the use of HCL at the frac job site. The treatment conduit further includes a plurality of static mixers each creating hydrodynamic cavitation thereby facilitating better mixing of the carbon dioxide and higher mass transfer efficiency.

Method For Removing Coatings From The Hulls Of Vessels Using Ultra-High Pressure Water

US Patent:
5849099, Dec 15, 1998
Filed:
Mar 19, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/618377
Inventors:
Dennis McGuire - Stuart FL
International Classification:
B08B 302, B08B 500, B08B 704
US Classification:
134 10
Abstract:
A method for removing surface coatings from the hull of a ship by focusing annular streams of ultra-high pressure water from a rotating nozzle having one or more orifices. The nozzle orifices have oblique angles from the central axis of the rotating nozzle whereby the force of the water leaving the nozzle through the orifice imparts an opposite rotational force to the rotating nozzle. The placement of the orifices on the rotating nozzle is done in such a manner that the annular streams of water act in concert when striking the working surface to remove the paint. A waste water recovery system collects waste water and particulates of paint stripped from the working surface, the particulates are removed for later disposal and the water is recycled.

Portable, Self-Sustaining Power Station

US Patent:
8593102, Nov 26, 2013
Filed:
Feb 28, 2011
Appl. No.:

Ecosphere Technologies, Inc. - Stuart FL
International Classification:
H01M 10/44
US Classification:
320101, 361601, 6064115, 136245
Abstract:
A self-sustaining, portable, power station that may be moved by land, air, or sea to an area that has no utilities. The station is provided with solar panel arrays in communication with at least one electrical distribution and storage means. The derived electricity is used to power various systems including, albeit not limited to, a communications system, a water filtration system, a water distribution system to allow the public to draw potable water and provide basic hygiene. The electricity derived may also be used to run outside systems, such as schools, hospitals, or the like. The solar panel arrays are mounted on roller assemblies that can be easily slide between a stowed and deployed condition. The solar arrays include a plurality of solar panels that are supported by one or more hydraulic actuators to counter balance the weight of the solar panel whereby the solar panel can be easily positioned into the desired tilted orientation.

Inventors:
Dennis McGuire - Stuart FL, US
Assignee:
Ecosphere Technologies, Inc. - Stuart FL
International Classification:
C02F 9/00
US Classification:
21017009
Abstract:
Disclosed is a water treatment apparatus for treating Lake Okeechobee water. The treatment apparatus operates on a continuous flow of water which is subjected to hydrodynamic waves, acoustic ultrasonic waves in combination with injected ozone and electrolysis.
