Patents by Inventor David R. Fadness

David R. Fadness has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Toxic remediation system and method
    Patent number: 5539212
    Abstract: What is disclosed is a novel toxic waste remediation system designed to provide on-site destruction of a wide variety of hazardous organic volatile hydrocarbons, including but not limited to halogenated and aromatic hydrocarbons in the vapor phase. This invention utilizes a detoxification plenum and radiation treatment which transforms hazardous organic compounds into non-hazardous substances.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 3, 1994
    Date of Patent: July 23, 1996
    Assignee: Zapit Technology, Inc.
    Inventors: Stephen M. Matthews, Russell G. Schonberg, David R. Fadness
  • Electron beam system
    Patent number: 5523577
    Abstract: An electron beam source or generator is described for the treatment of toxic materials in a treatment system in which electron beams are reacted with a flowing influent in a reaction chamber. The system is modular allowing different configurations as demanded by the site and by the clean-up job. It is also portable in that it can be easily moved from place to place. If mounted on a movable base it can be taken from place to place for use.
    Type: Grant
