Abstract: Methods of treating boiler water to remove organic compounds, and bleaching pulp for paper making by adding hydrogen peroxide under an elevated pressure for a defined period of time, and at a specified temperature range.

Abstract: Volatile, toxic organic pollutants are removed from drinking water by partially filling a container with water and drawing a vacuum in the space above the water so that the pollutants exit the water into the space above the water for subsequent dispersement into the atmosphere.

Abstract: The proposed invention is directed to a new and unique method and apparatus for obtaining improved fuel economy from an internal combustion engine. This result is incorporated into a commercially installed fuel delivery system for an internal combustion engine that utilizes a volatile liquid fuel supply tank in which an evaporated gaseous state fuel is generated and contained therein. This gaseous state fuel is then drawn from the fuel tank liquid supply source and thereafter delivered into the induction air path of the said engine. An electronically operated fuel/air mixture means is used to provide controlled, variable volumes of evaporated gaseous state fuel for the operation of said engine. In the event that additional vaporized fuel is desirable and/or necessary, a commercially manufactured liquid vaporizing means may be used in addition to the evaporated gaseous state fuel for the operation of said internal combustion engine.

Abstract: Treating industrial waste water to remove particulates of metals, organics, or salts so the same can be fed to a boiler or other processor by adjusting the ph of the waste water to a range of between 8.5 and 11.5 using an ultrafiltration unit or a clarifier to separate clear water and sludge and oil and deliver the clean water as needed.

Abstract: Equipment takes in steam from a boiler and expands same to form water droplets. A baffle causes steam and droplets to swirl. Solubles are dissolved by droplets and insolubles separate. Both are collected by a receiver.

Abstract: An upstacking device is shown for use with generally flat metal can ends. The device is used with an endless conveyor such as a transport belt having openings therein, with each opening receiving a shell for locating the shell on the belt. The belt is intermittently advanced. The upstacking device includes a drive input coupled to a main drive for producing reciprocating rotational motion. A drive shaft is rotationally mounted to the frame. A stacking arm is fixedly connected to the drive shaft so that reciprocating rotation of the shaft produces rising and falling motion of the distal end of the arm. Stack pistons are pivotally connected to the stacking arm and have can end engaging surfaces. The drive shaft, stacking arm and pistons are positioned such that (a) whenever the stacking arm is in a lowered position, the shell-engaging surfaces are positioned below the belt, and (b) the pistons are aligned with the openings for movement therethrough.

Abstract: A wastewater purification and recycling apparatus is provided comprising means for introducing wastewater having a relatively high concentration of impurities from an industrial process into a boiler used to generate working steam for an industrial purpose, heating the wastewater in the boiler to produce a steam component and a precipitated impurity component, using the steam component for the industrial purpose, condensing the steam component as it is used for the industrial purpose to produce water and selectively recycling the water for use in the industrial process and/or boiler while periodically removing the accumulated impurity component from the boiler.

Abstract: An automatic brake release valve in the form of a normally open pressure relief venting structure for air operated vehicular brakes and the like, wherein atmospheric air is vented into the closed brake system intermediate the air brake actuating valves and the brake chambers actuated thereby. This venting valve structure relieves any pressure build-up which occurs as a result of brake valve leakage, since any increase in pressure in this part of the system closes the exhaust valves and actuates the brakes. So that normal brake function is maintained, the venting valve structure closes on a predetermined pressure rise. Thus, when the brakes of the vehicle are applied, a limited amount of air will escape from the system, until the predetermined valve closing pressure is reached, and during this air escape period, water condensate is exhausted from the system automatically, while providing maximum brake efficiency.
