Abstract: Apparatus and method for increasing the ability of a cotton module mover to reach remote locations in soil conditions which typically hinder travel; to load and unload modules on soft, uneven, and wet ground; and, to equalize the horizontal movement of the ground engaging portions of the tires, the track units, and to drive the live floor of the mover's bed at the same horizontal rate as the mover's actual movement with respect to the ground. The invention includes self-adjusting supports which distribute a portion of the weight of the mover equally to each of the track units and allows each track unit to independently extend to various positions below the mover. The equalization of the horizontal movement of the tires, the track units, and the live floor includes mechanically interconnecting the tires and track units and controlling the live floor with a system which detects the mover's actual movement relative to the ground and then drives the live floor at that speed.
Abstract: A process and system for separating and removing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from groundwater, where said groundwater is polluted by immiscible liquid floating on the water table and by solutes within the water. The process includes pumping the contaminated water through a separator and low pressure tank assembly, that separates silt, sand, and liquid VOCs from the water. The water is pumped through an air stripper to remove the dissolved volatiles from the water. The recovered liquid VOCs from the pressure tank are suitable for processing or reuse. The volatiles liberated from the water in the air stripper are released either to the atmosphere or routed to pollution abatement devices as required by environmental rules. The decontaminated water is released to a sewer system or to the environment.
