Abstract: A closed-loop method for the continuous production of biochar and nutrients. High-moisture content feedstock and black soldier flies are placed within a breeding room to produce young black soldier fly larvae (BSFL). High-moisture content feedstock and a first portion of the young BSFL are placed within a growing room to produce leachate, mature BSFL, and frass. The mature BSFL can be separated from the frass and processed to produce dried BSFL, BSFL oil, BSFL meal, BSFL puree, or a combination thereof. A first portion of the frass undergoes pyrolysis to produce biochar and heat. The biochar can be utilized within the feedstock, to produce a frass end product, as a biochar end product, or a combination thereof. The heat can be utilized in the at least one breeding room, in the at least one growing room, to process the frass, or a combination thereof.

Heating can be provided using the heating fluid circuit and the heat provided by the thermal system. Cooling can be provided using the cooling fluid circuit by absorbing energy from the conditioned space using a cooling fluid and rejecting energy from the cooling fluid to the storage fluid circuit. The thermal storage tanks can have heat added to them using an air source heat pump system to support heating operations.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for making a ceramic mini-tube configured for use in a fluid modification system. The method involves using an electrospinning system to receive a quantity of precursor solution. The electrospinning system creates an electric field which causes the precursor solution, when emitted, to be stretched into a fiber jet. The fiber jet is deposited on a collector resulting in a fiber mat. The fiber mat is removed from the collector, wherein the fiber mat is formed into a shape. The fiber mat is further processed so that the fiber mat retains a desired shape. A heat treatment operation is then performed to convert the fiber mat into a ceramic structure having the desired shape.

Abstract: The invention disclosed is a high-speed suspended monorail transport system, characterized by an elevated rail system with a circular rail flange profile, aerodynamic passenger or cargo cars, a computer control system, and electric hub motors. The system utilizes a unique bogie-like wheel assembly that allows the wheels to roll along different areas of the circular rail flange, accommodating bends and curves at varying speeds without the need for conventional suspension systems.

Abstract: Heat exchangers for thermal storage systems include a valve that can direct process fluid passing through the heat exchanger through supplemental heat exchanger tubing based on a temperature of the process fluid. The supplemental heat exchanger tubing can be located in areas where ice formation can occur during freezing of the storage fluid of the thermal storage system, but apart from the standard flow path for the heat exchanger. The valve can be a thermally-actuated valve. The thermally actuated valve can be set to divert flow of the process fluid to the supplemental tubing when the process fluid is at or above a melting temperature of the storage fluid. Methods can include selectively flowing process fluid through supplemental heat exchange tubing when it is at a temperature greater than the melting point of a storage material.
