Patent number: 11931721Abstract: A composition for treating water including an organic soil amendment and having ions bound thereto is beneficial to aid in the removal of aqueous contaminants, such as phosphate, other phosphorus containing compounds, arsenic, arsenic containing compounds, fluorides, and PFAS from water. In these compositions the ions include rare earth cations, iron cations, and mixtures thereof. There are also methods for making these soil amendment compositions, as well as methods for using these compositions to effectively remove contaminants from water.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Neo Water Treatment, LLCInventor: Mason Reames Haneline

Patent number: 11772054Abstract: A rare earth coated membrane is beneficial to aid in the separation of contaminants, such as anions containing phosphorous, anions containing arsenic, PFAS, and mixtures thereof. Membranes with the rare earth coating or treatment can have larger pore sizes than would be expected to remove these contaminants. Disclosed herein are methods for treating or coating the membrane to provide the rare earth coated membrane. The coated membranes can be used to remove contaminants, such as anions containing phosphorous, anions containing arsenic, and PFAS, from liquid feeds, such as water or water-based feeds.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2021Date of Patent: October 3, 2023Assignee: Neo Water Treatment, LLCInventor: Mason Reames Haneline

Patent number: 11713262Abstract: Chloride salts of certain rare earth elements have beneficial effects as clarifying agents in the primary treatment of wastewater. Disclosed herein are methods for treating wastewater comprising dosing wastewater, as part of a primary treatment system, with a clarifying agent of chloride salts of rare earth elements, either individually or mixtures. The rare earth clarifying agents are added or dosed at any point upstream of the primary treatment operation, within the primary treatment operation, or both upstream of and within the primary treatment operation. Also disclosed herein are clarifying agents for use in the primary treatment of wastewater comprising an aqueous solution of chloride salts of the rare earth elements.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2021Date of Patent: August 1, 2023Assignee: Neo Water Treatment, LLCInventors: Mason Reames Haneline, James Frederic Gallmann

Patent number: 11530148Abstract: Disclosed are methods of treating wastewater using a membrane bioreactor and achieving a target phosphorus concentration for the membrane permeate stream. These methods include the steps of dosing a wastewater stream with a rare earth clarifying agent and passing the dosed wastewater stream through the membrane to obtain a membrane permeate stream with a permeate concentration that is less than the phosphorus concentration of the influent stream. This permeate concentration also can be equal to or less than a target phosphorus concentration. In the methods as disclosed herein, the rare earth clarifying agent can be chloride salts of one or more rare earth elements and in certain embodiments, the rare earth clarifying agent can be CeCl3 and LaCl3.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2021Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Assignee: Neo Water Treatment, LLCInventors: Pamela Leigh Cornish, Mason Reames Haneline
