  • Publication number: 20240110559
    Abstract: A rotor assembly for a peristaltic pump is provided. Each of a first pair of roller assemblies includes a first roller portion having a first diameter and a second roller portion having a second diameter. The first diameter is larger than the second diameter. Each of a second pair of roller assemblies includes a first roller portion having a first diameter and a second roller portion having a second diameter. The first diameter is smaller than the second diameter. The first and second pairs of roller assemblies are positionable around a circumference of a hub such that the first roller portion of the first pair of roller assemblies is aligned with the first roller portion of the second pair of roller assemblies and the second roller portion of the first pair of roller assemblies is aligned with the second roller portion of the second pair of roller assemblies.

  • Patent number: 10294655
    Abstract: A filtration apparatus for use with drainage structures and a method for installing the same are provided. The filtration apparatus has a first grate and a second grate, which, when installed and secured together, establish a filtration barrier between the inlet and bottom of a drainage structure for filtering stormwater runoff entering the drainage structure. The first grate and second grate are secured to internal walls of the drainage structure via anchoring members. The anchoring members allow each of the grates to rotate to facilitate transition of each grate from a hanging to a suspended position. A connecting member secures the first grate and the second grate together so that the grates bisect the cavity of the drainage structure.

  • Patent number: 10087586
    Abstract: A system and method for treating liquid runoff from bridge decks or other types of roadways are provided. The system includes vertical scuppers positioned at low points along a length of a bridge deck. Each scupper has a removable tube fitted inside the scupper with a filtration media for treating liquid runoff such as stormwater. During rainfall events, liquid runoff gravity flows downward through the tubes and the filtration media inside the tubes so that the liquid is treated before being discharged to the environment. The tubes can be removed to periodically replace the filtration media.
