  • Publication number: 20210323848
    Abstract: An electrode apparatus for removing contaminants from a fluid is provided. In another aspect, an electrochemical destruction apparatus for wastewater effluent using Boron-doped diamond electrodes is employed. A further aspect of the present apparatus includes a fluid-carrying conduit, electrodes located within the conduit, an electrical controller connected to the electrodes, a sensor connected to the controller being adapted to sense a chemical characteristic associated with contaminants in the fluid, and the controller automatically varying an electrical characteristic associated with at least one of the electrodes based, at least in part, on an input from the sensor. Yet another aspect includes a programmable controller and software which automatically employ a feedback control loop to increase or decrease electrical current density to contaminant-removing electrodes.

  • Publication number: 20210246646
    Abstract: A wastewater-lifting system and a method for operating a wastewater-lifting system guides wastewater loaded with bulky materials into a bulky material collection tank having at least one separating screen. During intake of wastewater, the bulky materials are retained in the bulky material collection tank and pre-cleaned wastewater passes into a liquid collection tank via a connection line and one or both of a pump and a bypass line connected to the connection line. During the wastewater intake a pivoting flap in the connection line closes flow to the pump except for a flushing cross section, and opens the bypass line. During a pumping operation, the pivoting flap opens the connection line from the pump and closes the bypass line.

  • Publication number: 20210121604
    Abstract: The present invention provides bioengineered extracellular matrix model derived from decellularized Wharton's jelly matrix (DWJM) and methods for making and using the same. After decellularization, the DWJM is homogenized, frozen, and lyophilized in a mold to form a molded scaffold having a substantially uniform pore size, pore distribution, and matrix component distribution, and can be trimmed and shaped to any desired size. The bioengineered DWJM is able to maintain the stem cell qualities of cultured cells, which is useful in screening chemotherapy drugs that target cancers, especially cancer stem cell populations. The bioengineered DWJM possesses matrix components similar to the bone hematopoietic niche and is useful in expanding and maintaining hematopoietic stem cells as well as promoting bone regeneration and repair.
