Patent number: 5339621Abstract: The invention comprises an apparatus and method for high pressure treatment of wastes without the addition of excess oxygen and without interference by corrosive deposits. Waste materials are suspended or dissolved in a processing fluid. The pressure of the fluid is raised to a pressure in the range of from about 70 psig to about 5,000 psig. A boiler is then used to heat the high pressure fluid to temperatures above the critical temperature. Solids within the boiler participate in fluidized bed particle scrubbing technology in order to minimize the fouling and corrosion occurring within the boilers during heating. From at least a portion of the vapors produced by the heating in the boiler, net energy output is produced. Useful byproducts can be produced from the vapors.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 1993Date of Patent: August 23, 1994Assignee: Environmental Energy Systems, Inc.Inventor: Radon Tolman

Patent number: 4315895Abstract: A process and apparatus are provided whereby sulfur and nitrogen oxides as well as carbon monoxides and unburned hydrocarbons are removed from internal combustion engine exhaust gases. The gases are passed through a chamber containing a sulfide and an oxide of iron, copper or zinc. The system is partially self-regenerating and can be used in conjunction with present catalytic converter units or in lieu thereof. In certain embodiments the present invention can also replace muffler units in exhaust systems.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 1976Date of Patent: February 16, 1982Assignee: Pittsburgh Environmental and Energy Systems, Inc.Inventors: Henry C. Bramer, Edward Shapiro

Patent number: 4130628Abstract: A method is disclosed for scrubbing SO.sub.2 and NO.sub.x containing gases with iron sulfide. The reaction proceeds only to the formation of FeS.sub.2 and FeSO.sub.4 without significant formation of sulfur or iron oxide. The reaction products are subsequently regenerated to FeS by heating and can be recycled for further scrubbing operations; elemental sulfur is recovered as a by-product.Type: GrantFiled: August 22, 1977Date of Patent: December 19, 1978Assignee: Pittsburgh Environmental and Energy Systems, Inc.Inventors: Hubert L. Barnes, Edward Shapiro
