  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DEWATERING SLURRIES
    Publication number: 20240395234
    Abstract: Systems and methods for dewatering slurries having relatively high solids content such as earthen slurries are disclosed. In some embodiments, one or more transducer devices configured for acoustic spectroscopy and/or electroacoustic spectroscopy are used to determine a parameter related to the particle size distribution (e.g., specific surfaced area) and/or zeta potential of the slurry.
    Type: Application
    Filed: August 1, 2024
    Publication date: November 28, 2024
    Inventors: Gregory Anderson, Brandon Storm, Andrew Strobel, Corey Lanoue, Tayte Askelsen, Samuel Edmund Whittome, Ross Peter Jones

  • Systems and methods for reducing or preventing pluggage in an excavation vacuum apparatus
    Patent number: 12031292
    Abstract: Systems for reducing or preventing pluggage of spoil material in an excavation vacuum apparatus wherein the pluggage prevention system of the excavation vacuum apparatus may trigger one or more mitigation operations (e.g., addition of water through spray nozzles) to loosen the build-up of spoil material and/or to at least partially shut down the excavation vacuum apparatus to prevent more material being fed to the system.
