  • Publication number: 20240131894
    Abstract: A reefer truck power unit employs a plurality of power sources including roof mounted solar panels, momentum generation, shore power and high capacity storage batteries. The refrigeration system is configured for refrigerating a payload area of the vehicle utilizing power from the power sources, and employs a voltage converter for augmenting the power from the propulsion vehicle source for use with a native vehicle charging//starting system, and a transport load transformer for converting power from the power sources to 3 phase power for powering the refrigeration system. A bank of batteries stores power from the sources for subsequent dispersal to the refrigeration unit.

  • Publication number: 20240132385
    Abstract: A biological wastewater treatment process utilizes biology carriers having recesses or pores defined on their surfaces. Biology form a biofilm or granular biofilm on the surface of the biology carriers and within. The pores or recesses protect the biology. As dissolved oxygen is consumed by biology close to the openings of the recesses or pores, less dissolved oxygen reaches biology living deeper within the pores. The pores thereby define aerobic, anoxic, and anaerobic regions within each biology carrier. Some examples of the biology carriers may be made at least in part from biochar or other partially charred materials. The resulting biological process requires less physical space than conventional flocculant sludge based processes and is more readily established and maintained verses traditional aerobic granular sludge.

  • Patent number: 10556196
    Abstract: A screen panel assembly includes a screen panel and a raised screen component disposed thereon. The raised screen component includes an inclined screen surface that defines a first plane oriented at a first angle relative to the screen panel and a wedge surface positioned at a back side of the raised screen component. The inclined screen surface has a front edge that is aligned with a top surface of the screen panel and is substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the screen panel, the first plane being substantially perpendicular to a displacement vector along which the screen panel assembly is accelerated by a vibratory separation device. The wedge surface is adapted to disrupt a flow path of a flow of a material mixture flowing in a longitudinal direction across the screen panel by redirecting the flow around opposing sides of the raised screen component.
