Abstract: A compactor system for compressing a mass including liquid and solids includes: a pressure vessel defining a pressure chamber to hold the mass; a compaction mechanism to compress the mass in the pressure chamber to remove the liquid from the solids; a drain port communicating with the pressure chamber and through which the removed liquid drains out of the pressure chamber; drain piping fluidly connected to the drain port to direct the removed liquid to a collection site; and an influent system configured to inject an influent fluid into the pressure chamber through the drain port.

Abstract: A mobile storage tank has a length and includes a container having first and second opposed ends and a length extending therebetween. A stairway is mounted on the first end of the container. The stairway extends transverse to the length. An auxiliary storage section forms a part of the container and extends from the first end thereof. The auxiliary storage section underlies the stairway. At least one wheel is connected to the container for transporting the tank.

Abstract: A surface treating tool comprising an interconnected cleaning and stripping device for a self contained automated retrieval cleaning apparatus that provides a vacuum recovery and filtration system, with the tool consisting of a rotary brush mounted in an open bottom housing. The brush provides a core having operative connection to a rotating means and includes rows of radially extending resilient flaps carrying at their distal ends peening elements adapted to have contact through the open bottom of the housing with the surface to be cleaned while such surface is being vacuumed. The core can also provide radially extending wire bristles alternately disposed between the rows of resilient flaps.

Abstract: A remote controlled decontamination apparatus for removing, collecting and remotely disposing of contaminated material, including a complete system that provides a self-propelled vehicle having separate drives for left and right track assemblies as well as tool handling support arms, which are easily and quickly detachable from the vehicle thus permitting the association of a wide variety of tooling such as spray and vacuum nozzles and or mechanical brushes. A hose and cable umbilical for the apparatus is provided with universally movable carriage devices to reduce hose and cable drag, roll over and maneuverable resistance. A remote controlled camera and lighting system is mounted on the vehicle for visualization of operation.

Abstract: A portable self-contained decontamination booth suitable for removing contamination from reusable parts and tools. The front wall of the booth divides a transparent inclined viewing window above sealed work glove ports. An elevated eye-level control panel permits ready access to the controls for operating the booth. The interior of the booth being accessible through pneumatic side doors positioned at a level with portable side work tables which provide housing for the units which super heat the cleaning fluid as well as a self-contained ventilating system including a demister, filter and high capacity blowers.

Abstract: An apparatus for the recovery of contaminated air and water from a flow system. The apparatus provides a high efficient compartmentized stacked design embodying removable filters that first effect a moisture separation and then air borne particle filtering, with such functions separated by a fluid collection tank. The apparatus provides structure for ready removal of the filters and collected fluid with minimum down time so as not to interrupt the recovery process.

Abstract: A device for use with waste containers wherein the waste is packed, compressed and held in its compact state within the container until the container's capacity is reached. The device comprises a frame consisting of a pair of cross bars with the opposite ends of certain of the cross bars received in vertical channels carried by confronting interior wall surfaces of the wall container. The channels are provided with yieldable locking members projecting inwardly of the channels and adapted to retain the cross bars in a depressed position against the compacted waste material within the container.
