Patent number: 8801843Abstract: A system for removing unwanted contaminates from gases using a scrubber, which comprises a housing, a reaction chamber having a liquid level, an inlet connected to a source containing gases to be scrubbed with a contamination concentration greater than zero ppb to saturation. A gas exit port connected to the housing is used for evacuating scrubbed gas and a sintered permeable membrane is disposed across the reaction chamber, which provides a reaction zone in the plurality of pores when gases to be scrubbed are introduced to the membrane on a first side while the membrane is immersed in the lean liquid; and a cleaned gas on a second side wherein the clean gas initially has a drop in contamination concentration of at least 99 percent and gradually decreasing to 70 percent as additional gases to be scrubbed are introduced to the plurality of pores without replacing the lean liquid.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2011Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: Vapor Point, LLCInventors: Jefferey St. Amant, Kenneth R. Matheson, Keith Nathan

Patent number: 8795420Abstract: An apparatus for removing unwanted contaminates from gases, wherein the apparatus can include a housing that has at least one removable portion. The apparatus can also include a reaction chamber formed within the housing. A cartridge can be disposed in the reaction chamber. The cartridge can be connected to the removable portion of the housing.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2011Date of Patent: August 5, 2014Assignee: Vapor Point, LLCInventors: Jefferey St. Amant, Kenneth R.

Patent number: 8337763Abstract: A system for removing unwanted contaminates from fluid using a scrubber, which comprises a housing, a reaction chamber having a liquid level, and an inlet connected to a source containing fluid to be scrubbed with a contamination concentration greater than zero ppb to saturation. An exit port connected to the housing used for evacuating scrubbed fluid and a sintered permeable membrane disposed across the reaction chamber, which provides a reaction zone in the plurality of pores when fluid to be scrubbed is introduced to the membrane on a first side while the membrane is immersed in the biodiesel or biomass and a cleaned fluid on a second side wherein the clean fluid initially has a drop in contamination concentration of at least 99 percent and gradually decreasing to 70 percent as additional fluid to be scrubbed is introduced to the plurality of pores without replacing the biodiesel or biomass.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2012Date of Patent: December 25, 2012Assignee: Vapor Point, LLCInventors: Jefferey St. Amant, Kenneth R.

Patent number: 7803337Abstract: A method for treating a fluid to be scrubbed, comprising filling a scrubber with a volume of biodiesel or biomass adequate to cover a sintered permeable membrane in the reaction chamber and a bit more to create a reaction zone in not only a plurality of pores in the membrane with fluid but in a reaction zone above the membrane, then introducing fluid to be scrubbed to the membrane, building up pressure in the reaction chamber, and passing a scrubbed fluid from the reaction zone to an exit port at a rate equal to the rate the fluid to be scrubbed is introduced.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 2009Date of Patent: September 28, 2010Assignee: Vapor Point, LLCInventors: Jefferey St. Amant, Kenneth R. Matheson
