Patent number: 11826678Abstract: A support grid assembly for use in a vessel. The support grid assembly includes panels each including a first wall including a media-supporting screen and a second wall to be supported by the vessel wall inner surface. A manifold is coupled to the panels and is in hydraulic communication with vessel outlet. The manifold and the panels permit fluid to flow through the screen in each panel, through the panels, into the manifold, and through the manifold to the outlet of the vessel, as well as in the reverse direction. At least a portion of the first wall may slope downward toward the manifold, and at least a portion of the second wall may form a bottom surface that is curved to substantially conform to a curvature of the vessel wall inner surface. The panels may be arranged in a circular configuration extending radially from the manifold.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2021Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: Aqseptence Group, Inc.Inventors: Garth Hayes Saul, Robert Glen Norell, Dean Gerald Brabec, Benjamin Schmitt, Dusan Visekruna, Michael Richard Ekholm, Eugene Eberhardt, Edmund M.

Patent number: 11331603Abstract: An intake screen assembly including an intake member, a screen support member, and a screen member coupled to the screen support member. The screen member may be formed from a material, such as copper-nickel, that is different from a material, such as stainless steel, used to form the intake member and/or the screen support member. The intake screen assembly may include corrosion protection members for preventing contact between the components of the screen assembly that are formed from dissimilar materials. The assembly may be formed by coupling the screen support member to the intake member, and coupling the screen member to the screen support member.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2019Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignee: Aqseptence Group, Inc.Inventors: Richard Charles Maxson, Gerald Allan Berry, Garth Hayes Saul, Michael Richard Ekholm, Timothy Charles Wolf

Patent number: 10913015Abstract: A screen assembly including at least upper and lower portions each with screen elements having different orientations. The upper portion includes a first plurality of screen elements and the lower portion includes a second plurality of screen elements. The upper and lower portions are coupled together to form a truncated conical arrangement. At least one screen element of the first plurality of screen elements has a different angular orientation relative to a plane that is perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis than at least one screen element of the second plurality of screen elements has relative to the plane. In some such embodiments, the screen elements of the second plurality of screen elements are each oriented to be in a respective plane that is substantially perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis. The screen assembly may be configured to separate a liquid component and a solid component from a slurry.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2013Date of Patent: February 9, 2021Assignee: Aqseptence Group, Inc.Inventors: Michael Richard Ekholm, Michael Pierotti, Garth Hayes Saul, Dean Brabec
