Abstract: A method and apparatus for disposing of waste water above ground is disclosed. Effluent is deposited in a first tank wherein solids are broken down and liquified by a primary preconditioning unit. The preconditioned effluent is transferred to a second tank. A secondary conditioning unit in the second tank suspends liquid and solid particles in the tank air and vapor, vaporizes the suspended liquid and any entrained solid particulate material, and then discharges the vaporized material into the ambient atmosphere. An automatic control means senses vapor temperature and operates a stack damper and vacuum means which causes the vapor stream, thus preventing escape of non heat-treated vaporized materials. Another automatic control means activate the secondary treatment unit heater only when the liquid level of the second tank is within a preselected range.

Abstract: Apparatus for releasably mooring a marine vessel. An elongate anchor stem terminates at opposing ends with a swiveling connector assembly adapted for attachment to a boat anchor line and a fluke assembly. The fluke assembly includes a base plate with a plurality of curved anchor arms extending radially outwards therefrom, each terminating in a fluke. Each fluke defines a pair of opposing projections adapted to matingly engage a link of a connecting chain attached to one end of the stem and comprising a portion of the connector assembly. Upon such mating engagement a bridle is formed, whereupon exertion of upward force on the anchor line causes the anchor to more readily disengage from the floor of the water body and/or any foreign objects.
