  • INLINE DEWATERING SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20200283323
    Abstract: An inline thickener including a cylinder, a wiper inside the cylinder and rotating relative thereto for cleaning an interior surface of the cylinder, an outer housing, a sludge inlet for inserting sludge under pressure into a first end of the cylinder, a sludge outlet at a second end of the cylinder, and a filtrate outlet for allowing a portion of liquid removed from the sludge to exit the inline thickener. The pressure of the sludge inlet, the sludge outlet and the filtrate outlet are measured and controlled to allow for a selected percentage of the liquid in the sludge entering the inline thickener to be removed from the sludge. The sludge is not mechanically compacted within the inline thickener.
    Type: Application
    Filed: May 26, 2020
    Publication date: September 10, 2020

  • Ocean wave energy harnessing device
    Patent number: 8806865
    Abstract: A system for extracting long wavelength ocean wave energy and for extracting rotational wave energy uses a plurality of boom elements connected to at least one hinge element for movement about the hinge element in a direction of the vertical force of a wave and for movement about the hinge element in a direction of the transverse force of a wave, and the hinge element includes a shaft transverse to the boom elements with a blade mounted to the shaft for rotational movement of the shaft in the direction of the rotational force of a wave.
    Type: Grant
