Abstract: A method for increasing water permeability, improving soil structure, and enhanced plant growth in a fire affected soil by sampling a previously fire affected and non-affected soil in the same area as the fire affected soil. The method includes determining the correct microbes or enzymes to be applied to the fire affected soil is based on the sampling of the previously fire affected soil and the non-fire affected soil. Also, the method includes applying the correct microbes or enzymes to the fire affected soil for accelerated plant growth. Further, the sampling of the previously fire affected soil includes determining what are the best types of organisms present and associated with heat-condensed organic layers or heat induced hydrophobicity.

Abstract: An air-wall room system, suspended from a room ceiling, having a compressed air discharge duct. The air discharge duct is used for circulating compressed air into a hollow, four sided, upper air-wall frame with air openings. The air from the upper air-wall frame is circulated into a work space. The hollow upper air-wall frame includes air discharge ports for creating an air-wall. The air-wall, similar to a curtain, prevents toxic gases from escaping outside the work space. Corners of the upper air-wall frame are attached to vertical frame members. A bottom of the vertical frame members is attached to corners of a hollow, four sided, lower air-wall frame. The lower air-wall frame includes vacuum ports for receiving the bottom of the air-wall. A side of the lower air-wall frame is connected to a vacuum air exhaust duct. The air exhaust duct is used for drawing a vacuum in the hollow lower air-wall frame and exhausting the air-wall out a vacuum air exhaust duct.

Abstract: A system and method for reducing the number of tank trips needed to haul products to and from a work site. An example bladder system for a tank truck is presented wherein the tank can be filled for example with clean water for transport to the work site. Once emptied the bladder within the tanker can be filled with for example used and/or contaminated water for transport to a disposal/treatment facility.
