Abstract: The present invention is directed to a nozzle capable of producing a high impact waterjet when supplied with a source of ulta-high pressure liquid. The nozzle is constructed and arranged to infuse fluid into a high velocity stream of liquid passing through the nozzle to create a bubble rich waterjet. When the waterjet strikes against a surface the bubbles implode, amplifying the impact of the water against the surface.

Abstract: This invention relates to a modular wastewater treatment system that uses multiple treatment units to neutralize or remove contaminants in the wastewater generated during site cleanup or decontamination activities; particularly to the treatment of wastewater from the cleanup or decontamination of biohazard or homeland security events, wherein the treatment is adaptable to the site specific conditions related to the biological or chemical agent used in the attack and to the cleanup method being used.

Abstract: The present invention provides a computerized apparatus and method for stripping paint/surface coatings from manufactured components by utilizing ultra-high pressure waterjet technology in conjunction with a method and apparatus for creating and storing, in a database, digitized maps or templates which conform to the shape of a manufactured component. The stored shapes may be retrieved as needed and used to drive a precision ultra-high pressure waterjet nozzle constructed and arranged for removal of the painted finish or surface coating from the desired surface.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for removing coatings from the hull of a ship using a steered magnet vehicle supported by the adhesion force only of a permanent magnet to the surface to be treated. Using an ultra-high pressure water jet system and method for removing coatings, paint, deposits, organic and inorganic from hulls without harming the substrate material and to provide a superior surface for the application of subsequent coatings.

Abstract: A mobile robot for cleaning, stripping, reconditioning or refurbishing a coating on a metal work piece has a remote controlled power module for locomotion and a working head for removing the coating. The robot is held on the metal work piece by magnets mounted on the robot but spaced from the work piece.

Abstract: The present invention provides a computerized apparatus and method for stripping paint from a vehicle, such as an automobile, by utilizing ultra-high pressure waterjet technology in conjunction with a method and apparatus for creating and storing, in a database, digitized maps or templates which may conform to either the original shape of a vehicle, the shape of a vehicle subsequent to a collision, or both. The stored shapes may be retrieved and compared to verify the extent of damage, additionally the stored shapes may then be retrieved as needed and used to drive a precision ultra-high pressure waterjet nozzle constructed and arranged for removal of the painted finish from the vehicle's surface.
