  • Patent number: 9415338
    Abstract: A method and system remove contaminants from a vapor. In one embodiment, the system includes a contaminant removal system having a vacuum box. The contaminant removal system includes a contaminated vapor from process equipment is introduced to the vacuum box. The contaminated vapor includes steam and hydrocarbons. The vacuum box includes a water removal device. The water removal device removes water from the contaminated vapor to provide water and a reduced water vapor. The contaminated vapor is introduced to the vacuum box below the water removal device. The water and the reduced water vapor are removed from the vacuum box. The water removal device is disposed in the vacuum box at an elevation below an elevation at which the reduced water vapor is removed from the vacuum box.

  • Patent number: 9034284
    Abstract: A system and method scrub a vapor. In embodiments, a vacuum truck scrubber system includes a liquid vat, a first carbon canister, a second carbon canister, and a third carbon canister. The first carbon canister and the second carbon canister each contain carbon. The liquid vat is connected to the first carbon canister. The first carbon canister is connected to the second carbon canister. A vapor having contaminants is fed to the liquid vat and is introduced from the liquid vat to the first carbon canister wherein a portion of the contaminants is removed from the vapor. The vapor is introduced from the first carbon canister to the second carbon canister wherein another portion of the contaminants is removed. The vacuum truck scrubber system also includes a monitoring system for reading and recording of sample measurements in the first carbon canister, the second carbon canister and the third carbon canister.

  • Patent number: 8459916
    Abstract: A bracing system and method are provided to restrain cargo against longitudinal movement within a cargo container. The system uses U-channels in opposing side walls of the cargo container adjacent a rear opening of the cargo container. The system includes one or more bracing bars and an end cap at the first end and at the second end of each bracing bar. Each end cap has a channel section providing an extension to fit in the U-channels of the cargo container. The channel section is configured for a frictional fit in the U-channel to resist vertical displacement in the U-channel once a bracing bar with a pair of end caps is forced into a horizontal position across the opening of the cargo container, with the channel sections in the opposing U-channels.
