Jerel Bogdan 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).

  • Publication number: 20220119278
    Abstract: Methods and systems for treating brine to produce distilled water and dried NaCl are disclosed. The brine enters a crystallization plant and is heated. Once heated, the brine is circulated to an evaporator. The evaporator increases the concentration of NaCl in the brine to a point about the super saturation level. Once above the super saturation level, NaCl crystals are formed. The larger crystals are circulated to a centrifuge for drying and the smaller crystals are recirculated through the evaporator for continued growth. The NaCl crystals are dried in the centrifuge.
    Type: Application

  • Patent number: 10590019
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided herein for treating wastewater, such as wastewater from oil and natural gas production. Distilled water may be treated with bacteria and other micro-organisms to remove nitrogen compounds from the distilled water. The distilled water may be produced from pretreating and distilling wastewater. The treatment steps of the distilled water include subjecting the water to microbial action under both anoxic and aerobic conditions and employing a membrane bioreactor to further purify the water. The purified water is still further purified by either reverse osmosis or ion exchange systems.
