Abstract: A process for making liquid fuels, especially diesel fuel, from primary alcohols. The process involves subjecting a feedstock comprising primary alcohols to Guerbet coupling to yield a first intermediate mix; subjecting the first intermediate mix to hydrogenolysis to yield a second intermediate mix; and subjecting the second intermediate mix to etherification to yield a liquid fuel suitable for use in internal combustion engines.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to flexible drainage trap assemblies and methods for constructing and installing such drainage traps. In one exemplary embodiment, a flexible drainage trap assembly includes a plumbing fixture connector, a discharge joint, and a trap portion connecting the plumbing fixture connector and discharge joint. The trap portion is shaped in such a way that it is operable to retain a pool of water inside the trap portion. The disclosed flexible drainage assemblies include a flexible portion that has a substantially smooth inner surface.

Abstract: A method of installing a drain fixture, the method comprising first installing a sub-floor plumbing system comprising a plumbing trap, a removable drain pipe, and a sleeve. Next, the method comprises connecting the plumbing trap and the removable drain pipe and sliding the sleeve over the removable drain pipe. Next, the method comprises building a flooring surface proximate to the plumbing trap, the removable drain pipe, and the sleeve. Then, the method comprises removing the removable drain pipe at least partly from the sleeve, cutting the removable drain pipe to the desired length, and re-inserting the removable drain pipe through the sleeve and into the plumbing trap.

Abstract: A pre-form for drain installation is provided. The pre-form comprises a cap portion, a bottom portion, and an outer portion. The cap portion defines an interior for receiving a top end of an upwardly extending drain pipe and is configured to cover an opening of the drain pipe. The bottom portion is detachedly coupled to the cap portion and comprises an aperture through which the drain pipe may pass so as to enable the bottom portion to slide along the length of the drain pipe. The outer portion is coupled to and extends upwardly from the bottom portion so as to define a perimeter for displacing concrete proximate to the drain pipe when inserted into a wet concrete flooring surface.
