Abstract: A chemical reformer system has an inlet, a digester, a series of chemical reformers, coolers and separators. The temperatures and pressures of the digester and chemical reformers may be regulated, where the pressure decreases from the first chemical reformer to the last and the temperature increases from the first chemical reformer to the last. The chemical reformer system may be utilized to convert feedstock biomass to output compounds, such as bio-oils.

Abstract: A volatile organic compounds (“VOC”) collection system has an inlet, a positive displacement pump (“PDP”), a first automated control valve, a pressure vessel (“PV”), and PV top and bottom outlets. The inlet receives a VOC emission and is in fluid communication with the PDP through an inlet-PDP connector. The PDP is in fluid communication with the PV through a PDP-PV connector. The first automated control valve is in fluid communication with the PDP-PV connector. The PV is in fluid communication with the PV top and bottom outlets. The inlet-PDP connector is under a pressure that keeps the VOC emission in a vapor phase. The PDP-PV connector and the PV are under a pressure that condenses the VOC emission and separates the VOC emission into a gas phase and a liquid phase.

Abstract: A volatile organic compounds (“VOC”) collection system has an inlet, a positive displacement pump (“PDP”), a first automated control valve, a pressure vessel (“PV”), and PV top and bottom portion outlets. The PV has PV top and bottom portions. The inlet receives a VOC emission and is in fluid communication with the PDP through an inlet-PDP connector. The PDP is in fluid communication with the PV through a PDP-PV connector. The first automated control valve is in fluid communication with the PDP-PV connector. The PV top and bottom portions are in fluid communication with the PV top and bottom portion outlets respectively. The inlet-PDP connector is under a pressure that keeps the VOC emission in a vapor phase. The PDP-PV connector and the PV are under a pressure that condenses the VOC emission and separates the VOC emission into a gas phase and a liquid phase.

Abstract: Methods and systems of a biosolids concentrator and digester system having an inlet, an equalization/separation tank, an equalization/separation tank-anaerobic tank connector, an anaerobic tank, an anaerobic tank-aerobic tank connector, an aerobic tank, an aerobic tank-clarifier tank connector, and a clarifier tank. The inlet receives a thermally treated waste stream (TTWS), which enters the equalization/separation tank through the inlet at the equalization/separation tank bottom portion and leaves at the equalization/separation tank top portion. The TTWS enters the anaerobic tank at the anaerobic tank bottom portion and is anaerobically digested in the anaerobic tank producing a biogas, which is discharged from the anaerobic tank top portion. The TTWS leaves the anaerobic tank at the anaerobic top portion, enters the aerobic tank at the aerobic tank bottom portion and leaves the aerobic tank at the anaerobic top portion.

Abstract: Methods and systems of a biosolids concentrator and digester system having an inlet, a digester, a digester-first clarifier connector, a first clarifier, a first clarifier-micron filter connector, a micron filter, a micron filter-membrane filter connector, a membrane filter, and an outlet. The inlet receives a waste stream. The inlet is in fluid communication with the digester. The digester is in fluid communication with the first clarifier through the digester-first clarifier connector. The first clarifier is in fluid communication with the micron filter through the first clarifier-micron filter connector. The micron filter is in fluid communication with the membrane filter through the micron filter-membrane filter connector. The membrane filter is in fluid communication with the outlet.

The equalization/separation tank has a first aeration tube. The aerobic tank has a second aeration tube. The inlet receives a waste stream and enters the equalization/separation tank at an equalization/separation tank bottom portion and leaves at an equalization/separation tank top portion. The waste stream enters the anaerobic tank at an anaerobic tank bottom portion and leaves at an anaerobic top portion. The waste stream enters the aerobic tank at an aerobic tank bottom portion and leaves at an anaerobic top portion.

Abstract: The present invention provides a digester for handling waste or contaminated materials. A process and an apparatus for processing are disclosed. A Dry Cycle Anaerobic Digester (DCAD) uses tanks to perform aerobic and anaerobic digestion to eliminate the waste, while producing little or no sludge.

Abstract: A method is provided for maintaining a biomass disposed on a substrate in a bioreactor tank. The bioreactor tank has an inlet and an outlet in fluid communication with a waste treatment system whereby an influent fluid may be selectively introduced through the inlet into the bioreactor tank for removal of waste material therefrom. This produces an effluent fluid which can be returned through the outlet to the waste treatment system. The method comprises processing a quantity of influent fluid through the bioreactor tank to produce a quantity of effluent fluid and removing the effluent fluid from the bioreactor tank through the outlet. The method further comprises isolating the bioreactor tank from the waste treatment system and establishing a set of dry cycle conditions in the bioreactor tank. The dry cycle conditions are selected to effect endogenous growth within at least a portion of the biomass whereby an average age of the at least a portion of the biomass may be tailored.

Abstract: The invention relates to the processing of waste, contaminated, or raw materials. Crude oil can be processed to purify oil and separate water.
