  • Patent number: 11873748
    Abstract: The fluid chamber system can include: a chamber housing, a capture medium, an internal support structure, and/or any other suitable components. The system can optionally include a thermal management system. However, the system can additionally or alternatively include any other suitable set of components. The system preferably functions to direct an input fluid (e.g., vehicle exhaust) through the capture medium and/or harvest one or more target species (e.g., carbon dioxide) from the input fluid (e.g., vehicle exhaust).

  • Patent number: 11794625
    Abstract: A vehicular vessel mounting system is provided. In one aspect, a vehicular vessel mounting system includes a mount arranged to support a pressure vessel in a substantially vertical orientation. The mount includes a vertically oriented spine and a backing connected to the spine. The backing is shaped to match an outer wall of the pressure vessel. One or more retention mechanisms are arranged to retain the pressure vessel to the backing.

  • Publication number: 20230256812
    Abstract: A method and conditioning system for conditioning exhaust gas are provided. The conditioning system includes one or more heat removal systems for removing heat from an exhaust gas. The conditioning system also includes a condensate removal system fluidly coupled with, and positioned downstream of, the one or more heat removal systems. The condensate removal system is operable to remove moisture from the exhaust gas. In some variants, the conditioning system further includes one or more fluid chambers fluidly coupled with, and positioned downstream of, the condensate removal system. Each fluid chamber defines an interior in which a capture medium is contained. The cooled, moisture-depleted exhaust is selectively distributed to the fluid chambers to allow for harvesting or capture of a set of target species from the exhaust gas.

  • Patent number: 8517634
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for replacing, repositioning and/or repairing a section of pipe within a pipeline located on a seabed. System components are delivered by a surface vessel to the vicinity of the damaged section of pipe. Piles are partially driven into the seabed adjacent the damaged section of pipe such that each of the piles has an exposed pile top above the seabed. Pile tops are employed to support load-bearing manipulator assemblies each having a hydraulically controlled manipulator arm having a a grapple capable of grasping and repositioning a section of pipe. The manipulator assemblies are operated to grasp, lift and manipulate pipe surrounding the damaged section. Other pile tops are employed to support spool supports capable of firmly holding a replacement spool piece of pipe during replacement operations. During replacement of a damaged section of pipe, the manipulator assemblies hold the pipe while cuts are made to free the damaged section.

  • Publication number: 20060252972
    Abstract: This invention relates to a process for conversion of hydrocarbon feedstock, comprising the steps of (A) feeding the hydrocarbon feedstock to an adsorption unit; (B) adsorbing the hydrocarbon feedstock in the adsorption unit with a solid particulate adsorbent useful for adsorbing at least one component from the hydrocarbon feedstock under adsorption conditions; (C) withdrawing the adsorbed feedstock from the adsorption unit; (D) desorbing the component(s) from the solid particulate adsorbent; and (E) removing, under the adsorption conditions for a fractional time of step (B), at least a portion of said adsorbent while the feedstock is being fed to the adsorption unit.
