  • Publication number: 20140219724
    Abstract: A remediation process wherein fresh water is pumped into a tank for heating by a heater and pumped to Filter and UV Light and reactor producing cavitation and then pumped to a chemical mixing tank wherein a promoter oxidizers is added before solution is pumped from mixing tank to spray injectors for treating contaminated soil.

  • Publication number: 20140112720
    Abstract: A method of wetland remediation with contaminated soils, sands, and water wherein the decontamination process includes removing contaminated soil from the wetlands removing oversized rocks and debris and converting the remaining contaminated soil into uniformly sized particles, spraying the soil particles with an oxidizer diluted with ionized water, vigorously mixing the sprayed soil particles with its entrained oxidizer and ionized water in an auger mixer for several minutes thereby oxidizing almost all of the hydrocarbons remaining in the soil, and removing the washed and hydrocarbon-free soil particles from the auger mixer to be placed back into the wetland environment wherein the treatment water is subject to ionization by passing water thru an Ion Collider and then placing man-made floating islands with natural wetland plants and grasses for on-going phytoremediation and natural remediation.

  • Publication number: 20140069875
    Abstract: A remediation process wherein fresh water is pumped into a tank for heating by a heater and pumped thru a KDF filter passed thru a UV Light and passed thru a reactor and stored in a chemical mixing tank wherein a promoter oxidizers is added before the solution is pumped from mixing tank to a heat induced probe placed down hole for the purpose of treating contaminated soil and water.

  • Publication number: 20080257829
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for separating immiscible solid or liquid particles such as oil from a liquid-based mixture or emulsion. The apparatus consists of two spaced apart concentric elongated metal cylinders. The wall of the innermost cylinder contains a multiplicity of spaced apart radially bored holes and its exit end is capped. The outer surface of the innermost cylinder and the inner surface of the outer cylinder consist of a ferrous metal coated with a titanium oxide and irradiated with ultraviolet light. Liquid is pumped under pressure into the innermost cylinder causing a multiplicity of jets of liquid to issue from the holes in the inner cylinder wall to bombard the titanium oxide coating of the inner wall of the outer cylinder. Electrons freed from the titanium oxide in the wall combine with both liquid molecules and particle molecules, causing the particles to separate from the liquid.

  • Publication number: 20080262283
    Abstract: A method of removing hydrocarbons from soils contaminated with various hydrocarbons such as gasoline, diesel fuel, solvents, motor oil and crude oil. The process first screens the soil to remove oversized rocks and debris and to reduce the contaminated soil to uniformly sized particles. The soil particles are moved along a conveyor and first sprayed with an oxidizer diluted with ionized water and then sprayed with ionized/oxidized water. The washed particles are then vigorously mixed with an auger mixer for several minutes to oxidize almost all of the remaining hydrocarbons. The washed and hydrocarbon-free soil is then moved by conveyor to a stockpile for storage, testing and drying.
