  • Patent number: 8985556
    Abstract: At least one electric atomizing fan is mounted on a portable land craft or a raft. An electric pump delivers pond water to the land craft or raft to evaporate the pond water. A land based power supply powers the pump and the atomizing fans. The either (submersible) pump sends the pond water to a dissipater adjacent the electric atomizing fan to produce a micro droplet mist. Preferably no additional evaporation chamber or heater is used. One embodiment uses a berm/platform to mount a plurality of land craft thereon. Either system could be mounted on a single trailer.

  • Patent number: 8256748
    Abstract: A working pontoon raft has frame that supports a plurality of high speed evaporator fans. An alternative design uses a skid to support the same high speed evaporator fans. An on board pump draws wastewater from under the raft or via a hose from the pond to the skid and feeds it to the fans. Large amounts of wastewater from industrial reservoirs, such as oil drilling reservoirs, are evaporated into the air in an environmentally friendly manner Power is supplied to the raft via hydraulic lines. A land base generator supplies the hydraulic power. The entire system fits on a custom trailer.

  • Patent number: 7377407
    Abstract: A purified water filtration, storage and vend system has a distributed housing design with a main unit having a filtration module, a storage tank, and a vend station. A slave unit has a storage tank and a vend station. A retractable nozzle assembly feeds each vend station purified water. The nozzle is mounted in a housing with an ozone chamber at its base. A sled in the housing is powered by a single actuator. When the actuator arm moves down, it moves a linkage to open a shutter at the base of the housing and simultaneously extends the nozzle through the open shutter.
