Abstract: The system may project and prioritize remediation timelines and costs, such that owners may prioritize spend across a portfolio of contaminated properties to maximize the overall effect of contamination remediation efforts, and to increase the likelihood of regulatory acceptance of proposed remediation strategies. The system may include a method for developing, an extreme event risk score based on operational environment data, legislative environment data and a data environment; determining a remediation score based on harm reduction data, cost data, sustainability data, resiliency data, the extreme event risk score and the data environment; determining a remediated risk score based on an initial risk score and the remediation score; determining a risk rating pre-remediation based on the initial risk score and an information depth score; and determining the risk rating post-remediation based on the remediated risk score and the information depth score.

Abstract: The system may comprise a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEM FC) stack that is connected to and provides energy to a microgrid for back-up applications, is connected to and provides energy to a fast-charge battery electric vehicle station (BEV) for fast charging of Electric Vehicles (EVs) and is connected to and provides hydrogen to a hydrogen dispenser for fueling Fuel Cell Vehicles (FCVs). Utilizing an integrated forecourt to support several different energy delivery applications and technologies may result in improved overall project economics and may accelerate the transition to a low/zero carbon economy for transportation and stationary back-up power.

Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for anaerobic digestion of high-solids waste and the removal of hydrogen sulfide from a biogas are provided. The methods may include and the apparatuses may be used for moving the solid waste in a corkscrew-like fashion through a closed container. The method may further include moving the high-solids waste into contact with a heating device to facilitate the corkscrew-like movement. Other methods and apparatuses may use at least one of a partition and a conduit from which liquid or gas is discharged. The invention also relates to methods and apparatuses for reducing the amount of H2S in a biogas produced from an anaerobic digester.

Abstract: A waste material processing system includes a closed container for holding waste material having a first passage in which the waste material flows in a first direction, the first passage having first and second ends, the first end including an inlet for waste material, a second passage in which the waste material flows in a direction opposite the first direction, the second passage having first and second ends, the second end including an outlet. The first passage is separated from the second passage by a divider, the second end of the first passage being adjacent the first end of the second passage, and the first end of the first passage being adjacent the second end of the second passage. A heating device is positioned in the first passage and/or the second passage to heat the waste material with a gas and to induce the waste material to move in a corkscrew-like fashion.

Abstract: This invention provides a waste-processing system capable of processing high-solids wastes such as manure. This invention provides a compact U-shaped digester that allows for recycling of activated sludge to improve the efficiency of the process. Efficiency is also improved through a sludge heating design that creates a current in the digester and efficiently heats the sludge. A composter is provided to further process the sludge through aerobic digestion to create usable fertilizer. Finally, one embodiment provides a turbine that is fueled by biological gases from the digester to generate heat and electricity to be used by the system.
