Patents by Inventor DE-YI HOU

DE-YI HOU has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11150166
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for sampling groundwater. The method includes extracting groundwater from a monitoring well in a first flow rate; monitoring groundwater level in real-time, and calculating a decrease of the groundwater level during the extracting in the first flow rate based on the real-time monitored groundwater level; when the decrease of the groundwater level is equal to a first value, extracting groundwater from the monitoring well in a second flow rate, the second flow rate being smaller than the first flow rate; and when the groundwater level is in an equilibration state, extracting groundwater from the monitoring well and using the extracted groundwater at this time as a representative groundwater.

  • Patent number: 11033941
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a soil-groundwater joint remediation device and a method. The soil-groundwater joint remediation device is disposed in an area to be remediated and includes an injection structure, an extraction structure, and a control structure. The injection structure is disposed in an injection well defined in the area to be remediated. The injection structure includes a hot air injection member, an oxidant injection member, and a micro-bubble injection member. The extraction structure is disposed in an injection well defined in the area to be remediated and spaced from the injection structure. The extraction structure includes a liquid phase extraction member and a gas phase extraction member. The control structure controls the liquid phase extraction member and the gas phase extraction member to perform an extraction operation.
