IDENTIFICATION OF WATER PIPE MATERIAL BASED ON STRESS WAVE
PAGE TITLE Overview PAGE SUMMARY In 1991, the US EPA published the ‘Lead and Copper Rule’ (LCR) regulation to address the widespread legacy use of lead pipes for potable water delivery and service lines. While well intended, the regulation received immediate push-back from municipal water utility companies that cited compliance with...

Cyclonic Reactor with Non-Equilibrium Gliding Discharge and Plasma Process for Reforming of Solid Hydrocarbons
PAGE TITLEOverviewPAGE SUMMARY A reactor for reforming a hydrocarbon, and associated processes and systems, are described herein. In one example, a reactor is provided that is configured to use non-equilibrium gliding arc discharge plasma. In another example, the reactor uses a vortex flow pattern. Two stages of reforming are described. In a first stage,...

Pre-treating water with non-thermal plasma
PAGE TITLEOverviewPAGE SUMMARY The present invention consists of a method of pre-treatment of adulterated water for distillation, including adulterated water produced during hydraulic fracturing (“fracking”) of shale rock during natural gas drilling. In particular, the invention is directed to a method of treating adulterated water, said...

System and Method for Disinfection and Fouling Prevention in the Treatment of Water
PAGE TITLEOverviewPAGE SUMMARY In spite of the recent oil price declines the shale oil production is recovering at a rapid rate. With it, the amount of water used in hydraulic fracturing grows as well, including the water used both at the front end of this process, in fracking liquid, and at the back end, the flowback and produced water. The front-end...

Non Thermal Plasma Cleaning of Dirty Synthesis Gas
PAGE TITLEOverviewPAGE SUMMARY Biomass, municipal wastes, hydrocarbon fuels or coal can be reformed via one or a combination of pyrolysis, combustion and gasification processes. A series of chemical reactions during the course of these processes usually results in the formation of a complex mixture of combustible gases such as CH4, CO, H2, unreacted...
