Abstract: Methods and apparatus for processing glycol according to various aspects of the present technology comprise a multi-stage treatment system that is configured to receive a feedstock from multiple waste stream sources containing glycol. A pre-treatment stage may be configured to process the incoming the feedstock and provide to a primary treatment stage a water/glycol solution that is substantially identical and allows for a primary treatment process that is not dependent upon the originating source of the glycol feedstock. A post-treatment stage may further process and purify the water/glycol solution.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and system for manufacturing containers, such as rotationally-molded noise-dampening containers. The containers may be made of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) with a unique structural configuration to provide a low maintenance, noise-dampening, impact and dent resistant, durable, strong and rust proof container. The bottom of the container optionally includes strengthening bars positioned within molded grooves to provide an additionally reinforced bottom panel of the container. A nut may be molded in place during the rotational molding process to connect to a caster plate thereto and thus provide an integral leak-proof connection to the wheel assembly.

Abstract: The invention is directed to methods, apparatus and systems for retrofitting existing containers for use with vehicles having lifting forks for elevating and maneuvering such containers, and retrofitting the vehicle forks, as well as constructing new equipment to include the invention. An apparatus according to the invention includes a liner formed from a vibration absorbing material for insertion into a pocket associated with a container. Alternatively to or in conjunction with the liner, either a glove formed from a vibration absorbing material can be inserted over a lifting fork on a fork bearing, lifting apparatus, or a rail formed from a vibration absorbing material can be fitted to at least a portion of a lifting fork on the fork bearing, lifting apparatus. The invention is also directed to methods relating to the use and incorporation of the apparatus, and systems incorporating more than one component thereof.
