  • IMPROVED METHOD FOR TREATING A LIQUID WASTE FRACTION FROM ANIMAL WASTE
    Publication number: 20190141882
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved process for downstream processing of liquid waste fraction from mammalian, such as animal, waste. More specifically the present invention provides an improved and simplified method for downstream processing of liquid fractions of animal waste in which the nitrogen content is preserved and for inhibiting urease activity in said liquid.

  • Method and apparatus for separating non-metallic materials
    Patent number: 6660963
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for splitting non-metallic substrates includes a laser for generating a laser beam. An integrated cracking devices receives the laser beam and directs the laser beam onto a non-metallic substrate to define the heat affected zone and quench the substrate at a quenching region contained within the heat affected zone. This integrated cracking device includes a housing and optics fitted within the housing for receiving and directing the laser beam onto the substrate. A quenching nozzle is mounted on the housing for quenching the substrate at a quenching region defined within the heat affected zone.
