  • Patent number: 7553447
    Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for introducing high-concentration, high-pressure oxygen gas with or without high-pressure ozone gas into pumped sewage mains, also known as force sewage mains, a portion of the pumped sewage is diverted from the force sewage main for addition of the high-concentration, high-pressure oxygen gas with or without high-pressure ozone gas thereto and for mixing of the gases with the sewage following by reintroduction of the gas-containing sewage into the force sewage main to accomplish the elimination of hydrogen sulfide gas odor from sewage and sewer lines.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 5, 2007
    Date of Patent: June 30, 2009
    Inventors: R. Scott Decker, Dale A. Eltiste
  • Publication number: 20090117016
    Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for elimination of mold, pests, insects and the like from bulk, stored grain and milled grain products and other biological items by pushing an ozone-containing atmosphere up through the grain or biological items and providing and maintaining an ozone-containing atmosphere in contact with the upper surface of the grain or biological items and maintaining an ozone-containing atmosphere in the spaces of the storage contained that are below the grain or biological items.
