  • Publication number: 20240174538
    Abstract: Systems and methods for employment in a Zero Waste (ZW) treatment system are disclosed. The ZW treatment system includes a ZW process employing the following individual processes: a separation and extraction process, a blend-heat process, a hydrolysis and acidification process, first-in, first-out (FIFO) anaerobic digestion process, an aerobic boost-blend process, and smart delivery process. A separation and extraction system, a blend-heat system, hydrolysis and acidification system, and a FIFO system performing the ZW treatment process may include a variety of tanks, where each tank may be placed in an enclosure comprising a modular container which, in turn, comprises a modular container system designed for mobility and transportable to remote sites as part of the smart delivery process.

  • Publication number: 20170040933
    Abstract: A photovoltaic nanogrid system is disclosed. One or more pre-wired frames each having a top, sun-facing side may be configured to receive one or more photovoltaic (PV) modules mounted thereon. The one or more pre-wired frames may include electrically and structurally connected support beams connectable to the one or more photovoltaic modules. A wire management system embedded within the one or more pre-wired frames may include modular conduits that gather and route wiring to/from the one or more pre-wired frames. A structural-electrical integration system may support the one or more pre-wired frames and may route power among the one or more pre-wired frames.
