  • Patent number: 9074503
    Abstract: An emission control system (ECS) and associated method for facilitating the emulsification and/or dispersion of hydrocarbon, diesel particulate matter (DPM) and other pollutants from the exhaust gas output from a diesel engine of a marine vessel, includes a pump, a control system that controls the pump, and a product container containing an environmentally approved dispersing product. The ECS injects dispersing product into the engine's water cooling and exhaust system, for example, into the cooling water downstream of the engine and upstream of the spray ring or mixing elbow of the exhaust system. The environmentally approved dispersing product is drawn from the product container via the pump and injected at a controlled rate into the raw cooling water, and the dispersing product/cooling water mixture admixes with the exhaust gas resulting in emulsification and/or dispersion of the hydrocarbon, DPM and other pollutants present in the exhaust gas.

  • Publication number: 20040177434
    Abstract: A flush valve mounted drink holder constructed of plastic and configured for mounting on the flush valve of a commercial urinal or toilet. The device is cylindrical in shape with a closed top and an open bottom. The top surface is substantially flat and provides a suitable surface for resting a beverage. The open bottom allows the device to fit over a flush valve with the device's cylindrical walls fitting snugly around the outer edge of the valve, thereby, providing stability to the device. The device is secured to the flush valve's hexagonal bolt via an adhesive square and is installed by simply sliding it onto a flush valve.
