Patent number: 11919785Abstract: An ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) system that reduces atmospheric CO2 and mitigates ocean acidification by electrochemically processing feedstock solution (e.g., seawater or brine) to generate an alkalinity product that is then supplied to the ocean. The OAE system includes a base-generating device and a control circuit disposed within a modular system housing deployed near a salt feedstock. The base-generating device (e.g., a bipolar electrodialysis (BPED) system) generates a base substance that is then used to generate the ocean alkalinity product. The control circuit controls the base-generating device such that the alkalinity product is supplied to the ocean only when (1) sufficient low/zero-carbon electricity is available, (2) it is safe to operate the base-generating device, and (3) supplying the alkalinity product will not endanger sea life.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2023Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Ebb Carbon, Inc.Inventors: Todd Pelman, Matthew Eisaman, Ben Tarbell, David Hegeman, Jeremy Loretz

Publication number: 20240044854Abstract: MRV for an ocean CDR system is achieved by varying the release/delivery of base substance into ocean seawater such that the base substance propagates as a series of release batch wavefronts along a dispersion path. A release frequency, which controls a timing of the release batch wavefronts, is selected to coincide with a non-natural frequency (e.g., a frequency exhibiting quiet/weak power spectra in a natural seawater chemistry variation power spectrum). Time-based seawater carbonate chemistry measurement data, which is collected by ocean-based sensors disposed in the base substance's dispersion path during base substance release, records both human-induced contributions caused by the release batch wavefronts and natural seawater chemistry variations.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Applicant: Ebb Carbon, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Eisaman, Todd Pelman, Jeremy Loretz

Patent number: 11872771Abstract: Non-standard, resin-infused fiber bundle includes localized regions of fibers having a sub-nominal amount of polymer resin positioned along its length. These regions function as “bending regions,” where the non-standard resin-infused fiber bundle can be readily deformed by virtue of the reduced amount of resin. The bending regions segregate the non-standard resin-infused fiber bundle into what is, effectively, discrete (smaller) segments of (standard) resin-infused fiber bundle. The ability to easily manipulate the non-standard, resin-infused fiber bundle via the bending regions is useful for creating fiber-bundle-based preforms, and preform charges (assemblages of fiber-bundle-based preforms).Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2020Date of Patent: January 16, 2024Assignee: ARRIS COMPOSITES INC.Inventors: Todd Pelman, Dylan Harper, Christopher Bender, Riley Reese, J.

The OAE system includes a base-generating device and a control circuit disposed within a modular system housing deployed near a salt feedstock. The base-generating device (e.g., a bipolar electrodialysis (BPED) system) generates a base substance that is then tested and processed (e.g., mixed/diluted with processed feedstock solution, seawater or another saltwater solution and/or reacted with CO2) to generate the ocean alkalinity product. The control circuit controls the base-generating device such that the alkalinity product is supplied to the ocean only when supplying the alkalinity product will not endanger sea life.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2023Publication date: June 29, 2023Inventors: Todd Pelman, Matthew Eisaman, Jeremy Loretz

Patent number: 11090883Abstract: A preform-charge fixture creates a preform charge, which is a partially consolidated assemblage of preforms that can be efficiently transferred to a mold to create a finished part in a molding process, such as compression molding. In the illustrative embodiment, the preform-charge fixture includes peripheral cleats that are movable towards a central cleat to create a small gap therebetween that receives and constrains preforms in a desired position. The fixture also includes clamps, which are operable to engage an uppermost layer of preforms in the gap and apply a slight amount of downward pressure thereto to assure that the preforms are properly seated. The fixture also accommodates an energy source that heats the preforms so that, in conjunction with downforce applied by the clamps and/or gravity, the preforms can be tacked together, forming the preform charge.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2020Date of Patent: August 17, 2021Inventors: Todd Pelman, Kameron Butler, Adam Hansel, Erick Davidson, Riley Reese, Ethan Escowitz, Cory Bloome, Alexander Darrow, Ryan Satcher, J.
