Abstract: One aspect of the present disclosure includes an oil removal reclamation clarifier system in communication with a body of oil laden wastewater fluid and a conduit for transporting the fluid to the reclamation clarifier system. The reclamation clarifier system includes an oil removal mixing containment device having an influent port, an agent inlet, a sludge collection section in a lower portion of the device for collecting the dispersed liquid, a sludge outlet, and, at least one decant valves located on or near an upper portion of a sidewall of the oil removal clarifier device for permitting unsettled material to exit from the clarifier.

Abstract: A paint reclamation clarifier system in communication with a sump tank in a paint booth containing a carrier fluid for capturing paint droplets and a conduit for transporting the carrier fluid mixed with paint droplets to the reclamation clarifier system is presented. The clarifier system includes an influent port, a detackification agent inlet, a sludge tank in a lower portion of the clarifier for collecting the dispersed carrier liquid, where the paint droplets bond with the agent and settle to the bottom of the sludge tank, a sludge outlet, and, at least one effluent port located on or near an upper portion of a sidewall of the clarifier system permitting unsettled material to exit from the clarifier.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for making a structure having a continuous form at a site. The method and apparatus includes providing a combination of a supply of tire segments and a solid polyurea component, mixing a liquid polyurea component with the combination, and extruding the mixture through an outlet to create a continuous affixed form at the site.

Abstract: A modular manufacturing station is provided. The modular manufacturing station has a plurality of beams forming a skeleton and being capable of extension and retraction. The modular manufacturing station also has at least one utility connection for receiving external utilities. Additionally, the modular manufacturing station has at least one piece of manufacturing equipment. Furthermore, the modular frame has a control system configured to regulate operation of the manufacturing equipment.

Abstract: A system and process for industrial painting operations is disclosed. The disclosed system and process includes entraining paint particles from a paint booth operation in a stream of air; directing the stream of air to an aqueous bath covered with a layer of small silica particles; encapsulating the paint particles present in the stream of air with the small silica particles; further cleansing the stream of air by removing residual paint particles and other unwanted compounds as the stream of air is directed through an exhaust system; and recycling the encapsulated paint particles remaining in the paint booth.

Abstract: The present invention includes a method of procuring a component, and includes the steps of establishing a bid criteria, responding to the bid criteria, identifying at least one potential supplier, submitting a first bid request to the identified supplier, receiving a response from the supplier, comparing the bid response with the bid criteria, modifying the bid criteria, establishing a second bid request in response to the modified bid criteria, establishing at least one potential supplier associated with subcomponents, submitting said second bid request to identified potential suppliers and selecting solicited suppliers in response to associated bid responses.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for making a resin additive for a liquid paint. The process comprises of the steps selecting a thermosettable organic resin, curing the resin to form a cured thermoset resin, and particulizing the cured resin to a size no greater than about 20 .mu.m. The present invention is particularly useful in making environmentally friendly paint formulations.

Abstract: A method of using water soluble foamed starch for reclaiming paint overspray particles from air includes the steps of passing a stream of air containing paint overspray particles through an air filter assembly having a filtration element. The filtration element consists essentially of water soluble foamed starch. The paint overspray particles are collected on the filtration element. The filtration element containing the collected paint overspray particles is deposited in a vessel containing water. The filtration element is dissolved in the water and an aqueous solution of starch in water is formed. The paint overspray particles are separated from the aqueous solution of starch dissolved in water.

Abstract: A process for recovering paint overspray particles includes segregating the paint overspray by color and type, and detackifying, dewatering, drying and particulizing the dried, dewatered, detackified, segregated paint overspray compounds. The resultant compounds is used as paint additive.

Abstract: A process for recovering paint overspray particles includes bringing the paint particles into contact with a plurality of hydrophobic fumed silica particles and encapsulating the paint particles within a plurality of the silica particles. The recovered encapsulated particles may be mixed with a suitable solvent, milled and blended with preselected additive materials, to form a desirable reconstituted paint material.
