Patent number: 11897787Abstract: A wastewater management system includes a series of water treatment modules to treat wastewater and produce reusable and/or potable water and other beneficial byproducts of the wastewater treatment process. A pretreatment module, a filtration module, an evaporator module, an odor control module, a UV-light module, an autoclave module, a sonolysis module, an ozone module and a chlorination module are combined in multiple combinations along with holding tanks, condensers, flash tanks and other components to address water purification and reclamation needs based upon specific wastewater conditions. The system captures condensate from AC systems and rainwater from rainwater gutter systems processes the water to produce reusable and/or potable water with or without re-mineralization. Any CO2 produced by the water treatment system is captured and processed using naturally-occurring flora.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2022Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: ZERO DISCHARGE, LLCInventors: David D. Calhoun, Mark D. Lorusso, R. Edward Rose, Jr., Ernest M. Hawkesworth

Patent number: 11390545Abstract: A wastewater management system includes a series of holding tanks in combination with a membrane bioreactor treatment subsystem connected to one or more autoclaves and/or sonolysis units and thermal evaporators to treat liquid discharge from the system. A condenser connected to the thermal evaporator(s) condenses water vapor created by the thermal evaporator(s) into its liquid state for delivery to, and assimilation by, plants in a dedicated greenhouse or hydroponic system or for reuse in a building. CO2 and water vapor produced by combustion of a thermal evaporator fuel source is sent through the condenser to add to the liquid water recovery. The CO2 is flowed into the greenhouse(s) for carbon fixation by plants. A CO2 monitoring system ensures the concentration of CO2 in the greenhouse is maintained at an acceptable level for humans. Ozonation, UV and/or chloride treatments may be used as optional water purification treatments in the system.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2020Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: ZERO DISCHARGE, LLCInventors: David D. Calhoun, Mark D. Lorusso, R. Edward Rose, Jr.

Patent number: 9292994Abstract: A combination vending/return apparatus includes a series of stacked counter-sloped, gravity fed track assemblies with radiused transition segments to receive and store empty large-volume bottles and to deliver pre-filled large-volume fluid-containing bottles. The apparatus is configured to accommodate, among other sizes, at least one of three (3) gallon, (4) four gallon, or (5) five gallon size bottles. A. dual elevator subassembly permits filled bottle dispensing and empty bottle receiving from a single door. The apparatus includes a processor-controlled transaction panel to make bottle selections for purchases and returns, and to handle electronic payment, promotional and credit transactions. Also disclosed is a method to vend large-volume fluid-containing bottles and retrieve used and emptied large-volume water bottles.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2012Date of Patent: March 22, 2016Assignee: Bluerock Ventures, LLCInventors: R.

Patent number: 6076064Abstract: A uniform, centralized system for converting all existing systems into one unique, universal system which allows for tracking those titles for articles objects of value, such as motor vehicles, boats, land, antiques insurance files, etc., in a congruent and continual manner. The system provides a centralized computer data base(s) operating in a "client-server" computer environment for use in creating a title history file, and for assigning a singular registration number and identification number from the VIN (or other) identifying number with those numbers being coded, and creating a coded title and registration number and for storing relevant data on the item. The centralized data base is connected to various authorized agents such as insurance agents and car dealers, and to governmental agents such as department of motor vehicles and tax collecting entities. In this way, all relevant data on an item can now be is maintained on a centralized system which is accessible to all who need the information.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 1998Date of Patent: June 13, 2000Inventor: R.
