  • Patent number: 9592414
    Abstract: A transportable and modular field-deployable hydrolysis system for neutralizing toxic chemical agents is described. The system comprises a transportable chemical process plant that is capable of operating in a remote location without significant site infrastructure. The system is also capable of operating in a maritime, shipboard environment. A flexible design allows processing of chemical agents in both batch and continuous flow modes, as well as collection and accumulation of agents from a variety of containers whose form and size may not be known until the system is on-site.

  • Patent number: 6503349
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for repairing components formed from a single crystal nickel based superalloy. The method comprises the steps of applying a repair alloy to at least one portion of a component formed from the single crystal nickel based superalloy and heating the component with the repair alloy thereon to a temperature that avoids recrystallization and repair zone incipient melting of the single crystal nickel based superalloy. Following the heating step, the component is preferably rapidly cooled and subjected to an aging treatment.
