  • Patent number: 8328290
    Abstract: An extendable mobile fluid carrying apparatus including a first frame configured to couple to a tractor. A fluid container is coupled to the first frame and configured to rotate about a pivot device of the first frame. The container defines a closable orifice configured to decant a fluid from the container. A high-CFM blower is coupled to the container and configured to draw a vacuum. A lift mechanism is coupled to the first frame and the fluid container and configured to lift the fluid container to an angle greater than 45° relative to the first frame. A second frame is slidingly coupled to the first frame, with the second frame configured to extend away from the first frame a predetermined distance. The second frame includes a wheel set. The tractor may include a power takeoff mechanism coupled to a prime mover and to the blower.

  • Publication number: 20090223902
    Abstract: An integrated system for treatment of inorganic liquid waste is disclosed that quickly and efficiently processes large quantity batches of such liquid waste by initially removing solids and sludge and subsequently processing the liquid waste to remove other materials so that the processed liquid waste can be recycled in a conventional sewer system. Larger solids, sludge, and free phase oil are removed by the system before they enter the liquid waste processing equipment, thereby preventing damage to the processing equipment caused by these substances. The use of common liquid waste and sludge delivery lines on all of the contaminant removal reactors in the system facilitates the efficient operation of the system with a minimum of operator intervention being required.
