  • Publication number: 20220316142
    Abstract: A multi-ply flushable wipe includes a ply having first and second exterior layers and a middle layer disposed therebetween. Each of the exterior layers includes at least 50% by weight natural fibers. When foam-formed, the middle layer includes at least 25% by weight natural fibers. In embodiments, the middle layer may include at least 75% by weight natural fibers. The middle layer also includes synthetic fibers that have a length within the range of 1 mm and 20 mm. The wipe may have a length weight weighted average fiber length of less than 4 mm and a wet CD strength of greater than 20 N/m. Each ply of the wipe may be formed by wetlaying the first and second exterior layers and a foam formed middle layer to form a web, imprinting the web with a structured fabric, and drying the web. The plies are then attached using a binder.

  • Patent number: 11390995
    Abstract: A method to prepare, pulp, and bleach cannabis bast and hurd fibers to allow for the fiber to be incorporated into absorbent cellulosic structures on a wet-laid paper machine while keeping the pectin within the fibers. The wet laid paper machine can use the ATMOS, NTT, ETAD, TAD, or UCTAD method to produce the absorbent cellulosic structure. Absorbent cellulosic structures are produced with the cannabis bast and hurd fibers or with the bast fibers alone with the hurd fibers being combined with paper mill sludge or dust to form a fuel pellet.

    Abstract: Disclosed is an air flow method and system for plant growth and air purification within a grow room to optimize plant production and promote constant growth and quality. The grow room includes a first air mover, a second air mover, and a third air mover. The first air mover is configured to pull air upwards into a first air mover inlet and out of a first air mover outlet oriented away from the first air mover and proximate to the ceiling. The second air mover is configured to pull air into a second air mover inlet and out of the second air mover outlet, moving air towards the floor. The third air mover is to pull air into the third air mover inlet out of the third air mover outlet, moving air away from the third air mover in a horizontal direction towards an opposing wall.
