Abstract: A Method and Device for solidification of waste liquids and fluids is disclosed, which is particularly well suited to processing radioactive waste fluids. Set forth is a receiving unit or subassembly for housing solidification agent, and one or more manifold units or subassemblies positioned within the receiving unit for providing waste fluid. The subassemblies operate in relation to each other to provide, position and mix solidification agent or polymer with waste fluid so that a dirt-like polymerized waste product is produced and positioned in the container for removal or later safe shipment or storage. Mathematical relationships, in preferred embodiments or aspects are utilized in determining number and sizing of manifold openings, and pressure of waste to be provided, to meet the requirements of waste fluids to be transported through these openings into the receiving unit.

Abstract: Environmentally protective Method of treating an aqueous radioactive fluid (AF) in a nuclear reactor cycle or radwaste system to selectively capture or remove radioactive isotopes in a reduced quantitative package to minimize radwaste generated and revitalize neutron absorption capacity of nuclear reactor coolant by separately carrying away boron constituents, when B10 is later added.

Abstract: Method of maximizing resin utilization and optimizing reverse osmosis performance to polish an aqueous or radwaste fluid. The method provides resin scavenging of targeted isotopes and exposes filter media and resin to a higher influent activity concentration to enable higher waste loading and longer life of resin while protecting downstream reverse osmosis system from high concentration of contaminants. An aqueous waste feedstream is processed through steps of filtering, demineralizing, and reverse osmosis; and the feedstream is separated into permeate and reject streams for recycling and evaluation, respectively. The permeate stream is recycled in ways that permit it to return to a supply area for recycle reuse or discharge.

Abstract: A self-supporting curtain and valance assembly for direct mounting onto a single curtain rod or shower-bath support, installed in juxtaposition with a window, door, shower-bath area or the like, is disclosed. The assembly (10) includes a curtain subassembly (20), functional in various configurations. The curtain (20) has a number of first coupling subunits (30) secured to the inside surface (26) of the flap of the curtain. The flap has a number of second coupling subunits (32) secured to its inside surface. The flap can be engaged and looped around a curtain rod or support and attached to itself by the first and second coupling subunits for self-supporting the curtain subassembly on the rod without the need for separate, independently added hooks or the like. The curtain has a plurality of third coupling subunits (36) fixed to the outside surface (28) of the flap.

Abstract: A stabilized ladder power winch assembly includes a winch mounting subassembly with two channeled portions, a reversible mount bracket subassembly with a cantilevered portion, a tiltable prop subassembly having a safety rung support extension, a frame and corresponding and aligned handle and leg portions, and a stabilizer subassembly with lateral support portions. Each of the subassemblies is attached or mounted in combination with a conventional ladder for cooperating to raise an object from the ground or a base surface to the roof of a building or elevated surface. The winch mounting subassembly is mounted on a consecutive pair of rungs of a ladder and supports a conventional winch with a hoist line in a secure position for lifting an object.

Abstract: A method in treating aqueous feedstream in diverse plant site environments is disclosed for improving filter flux rates, cleaning filter media and prolonging useful operative life of media. In preferred embodiments the method is provided with steps for contacting, reacting, pressurizing and equalizing ozone and feedstream within a central area or multiple areas and sustaining high pressure throughout the system to achieve qualitatively and quantitatively improved permeate products, and reject for recycle. The method and system provide an improved cleaning and processing system characterized by an ozone-concentrated, homogeneous single phase liquid conversion of a generated ozone gas mixture and a feedstream source containing organic and inorganic pollutants. The method improves and monitors ozone oxidizing power and reflecting ORP values, and provides further media cleaning and improved oxidation reactions for attack on pollutants on each cycle/recycle operation.
