Uwe Wegmann has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7762112
    Abstract: The invention relates to a fitting device for producing the arrangement for locking a sealing element, arranged at the front end on a rotor of a turbine, against a displacement in the circumferential direction, the sealing element locking moving blades arranged on the rotor against an axial displacement. Furthermore, the invention comprises a method of producing the arrangement for locking a sealing element, arranged at the front end on a rotor of a turbine, against a displacement in the circumferential direction. The quality of the fitting can be further increased by means of a modular, mobile fitting device which secures the sealing element for the duration of the bending operation.

  • Patent number: 6984317
    Abstract: A system and method for treatment of soot-laden waste water is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of separating the soot from the waste water initially in a clarifier. The concentrated soot is then treated with an activated sludge mixture in a digester with a very long average hydraulic retention time to effectively digest the materials found in the concentrated soot. Soot-free waste water is treated via standard aerobic, and anoxic reactor basins and a clarifier with activated sludge recirculation. The system effectively removes soot from soot-laden waste water in a cost effective manner.

  • Patent number: 6426004
    Abstract: A method and a reactor system for continuous waste water treatment are disclosed. The method involves the steps of continuously flowing an influent into a treatment basin and continuously flowing an effluent out of the treatment basin into a clarifier. The influent is continuously and completely mixed in the treatment basin. In an additional step, oxygen is introduced into the basin for a first predetermined time period. The introduction of oxygen into the basin is then stopped for a second predetermined time period and then the steps of introducing and stopping the oxygen are repeated. The reactor system includes a treatment basin having an inlet for continuously receiving an influent stream, an outlet for continuously discharging an effluent stream, and contains a mixed liquor. At least one mixer completely and homogeneously mixes the mixed liquor.

  • Patent number: 6190567
    Abstract: A process for breaking down hydroxylamine in aqueous solutions, especially wastewaters, by treatment with an oxidizing agent, which comprises using as said oxidizing agent an alkali metal hypohalite or alkaline earth metal hypohalite or peroxomonosulfuric or peroxodisulfuric acid or a salt thereof and carrying out the treatment with said oxidizing agent at a pH<8.
