  • Publication number: 20040043900
    Abstract: An improved heterogeneous catalyst for catalyzing the reaction of gaseous reactants, comprising a high performance catalyst particle with a diameter to height ratio in the range between about 0.5:1 to 1.0:1.0, the high performance catalyst particle has a Relative Particle Size Parameter (RPSP) and a Geometric Surface Area (GSA), wherein the high performance catalyst particle has a higher GSA for a particular RPSP than a prior art catalyst particle. In another embodiment the improved heterogeneous catalyst with a diameter to height ratio in the range between about 0.5:1 to 1.0:1.0 has a Relative Particle Size Parameter (RPSP), a Geometric Surface Area (GSA), and an associated Relative Pressure Drop (RPD), wherein the high performance catalyst particle has a higher GSA for a particular RPSP or alternately a lower RPD for a particular GSA than a prior art catalyst particle.

  • Patent number: 5752497
    Abstract: A portable outdoor solid fueled cooking assembly including a metal shell with a pair of side walls and top and bottom opposing walls defining an interior combustion chamber. The cooking assembly also includes an air inlet protruding from a bottom portion of one of the side walls and a flue gas outlet detachably secured to the top wall. The flue gas outlet has a sliding damper mechanism attached thereto. The cooking assembly further includes an adjustable air register plate affixed to the air inlet and a removable, vertically adjustable ash and fuel pan entirely contained within the interior combustion chamber. A metal grill is removably supported inside the chamber. The grill has a grease drippings pan detachably secured to a portion thereof.

  • Patent number: 5666987
    Abstract: A device for dispersing solid, powder, granular, tablet or liquid forms of beneficial chemical(s) into a pressurized liquid stream, distributing variable quantities over adjustable time in variable concentrations of dispersed chemical(s) through other ancillary connected equipment, permitting dispensing of the resultant fluid of pressurized beneficial chemical(s) for treatment of living or growing matter, including: foliage, plants, trees, crops, shrubs, weeds, grass, fungi and insects to achieve a useful or beneficial purpose. The device includes an upright, vertical cylindrical container constructed in capacities from less than 1 gallon to 1000 gallons and fitted with one or more internal screens to obstruct the escape of solid particles of a specific size into the product liquid stream. The design permits fresh supply liquid to contact chemical(s) in radial and upflow axial-radial flow patterns.
