Abstract: A static blending device for continuously blending particulate matter for even dispersion onto a substrate, wherein blending can be achieved automatically by gravity flow of the material. The static blending device includes an inlet for receiving particulate matter and an outlet for dispensing particulate matter and a dispersing section provided between the inlet and the outlet that is divided into a first compartment and a second compartment. The first and second compartment are each preferably divided into a manifold cavity and a transfer section by a manifold plate with multiple manifold openings that is positioned on an angle within each compartment.

Abstract: A system for analyzing a material such as sewage, the system including a preprocessor for extracting volatile compounds of carbon from inorganic carbonaceous substances within the material, a high-temperature reactor wherein the material chemically reacts with a gaseous reagent to produce a measurable amount of a gaseous product, and a chamber positioned at an exit port of the reactor, the chamber having a liquid covered surface to separate precipitates from the gaseous product.
