Abstract: Various examples of a system for generating a densified product are provided. The system may include an extruder device and a liquid extraction section. The liquid extraction section may receive a material from the extruder device for densification and may then retain solids while permitting extraction of liquids as the material passes through the liquid extraction section under pressure. In various instances, a series of rods forms at least a portion of the liquid extraction section and operates to retain the material on one side of the rods while permitting liquid to pass between the rods to another side of the rods.

Abstract: A pipe joint formed between a pin section and a box section. The pin and box sections each have a tubular pipe section, engaging at respective first ends in end-to-end arrangement and have a seal element partially therebetween. The box section includes a box stress collar extending from the first end, the box stress collar being generally cylindrical, axially aligned with the tubular box pipe section and having an inner diameter of the same size as the outer diameter of the pin section, enabling the box stress collar to be placed about the pin section. The pin and the box sections are secured together by means of one or more securing means housed in the box collar and actuable by exertion of radial pressure to urge the pin and box into sealing arrangement.
