Technique for Removal of Organics & Dissolved Solids from Aqueous Medias Via Supercritical Treatment [ID 12008]
OverviewHorizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing utilize a fluid to stimulate shale gas formations and prevent fractures from collapsing. The fracking fluid is a mixture of freshwater, chemical additives, and proppant (typically sand). 2-4 million gallons of this fluid are required for each fracking site and almost all of this fluid is returned...

Exfiltration Apparatus [ID 06031]
OverviewThe invention is an exfiltration apparatus that removes pollutants from runoff captured off the roadways. Pollutants may include oils, tire rubber, soil, metallic traces, nutrients, organic chemicals and compounds among others. Such materials lead to the clogging of filtering trenches by the roadside, a situation that worsens during the snow...

Biological Remediation of Green House Gas Emissions [ID: 98104]
OverviewThe technology is a cost effective mechanism that removes substantial amounts of CO2 from the gaseous effluents of scrubbed fossil-fired power plants. The process is facilitated by the use of algae that have been grown on fabric sheets in a high temperature (thermophilic) environment. The algae are located in a separate chamber downstream of...
