| 20080223212 | Reducing moisture content of compressed air - A system and method for removing moisture from compressed air with the system having a membrane for passage of water vapor therethrough while preventing the flow of air therethrough and a diverter for diverting and reducing the pressure of a portion of the compressed air to enable the air at a reduced pressure to flow past one side of the membrane while the compressed air flows by the opposite side of the membrane to allow water vapor from the compressed air to pass through the membrane to the compressed air at the reduced pressure thereby providing for on-the-go reduction of amount of moisture in the compressed air. | 09-18-2008 |
| 20090101567 | Method and Apparatus for the Purification of Salty Streams and the Removal of Particulates Therefrom - A filter assembly for filtering contaminants from a fluid stream. The housing of the filter assembly is preferably made of fiber reinforced plastic to prevent corrosion from the fluid stream, and can hold one or two filter elements or cartridges, each of which can hold a single filter, or multiple filters. Flow in filter housings having two elements can be unidirectional or opposed. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20090188856 | Externally Centering Filter Element or Cartridge and Housing and System Utilizing the Same - A filter assembly for filtering contaminants from any fluid stream. The housing of the filter assembly is preferably made of any metal and/or polymer, and can hold one or two externally centering filter elements or cartridges, each of which can hold a single filter, or multiple filters. Flow in filter housings having two externally centering filter elements or cartridges can be unidirectional or opposed. | 07-30-2009 |
| 20090194478 | Reverse Osmosis System - Embodiments of the invention provide a reverse osmosis system including a feed water inlet, a reverse osmosis module coupled to the feed water inlet, and at least one blend valve. The blend valve can be coupled to a permeate outlet and the feed water inlet and can be capable of blending the feed water and the permeate water to produce mixed water. The blend valve can be adjusted to achieve a desired TDS level in the mixed water. | 08-06-2009 |
| 20100107878 | Venting and Filtration Systems with Gas Permeable Membrane - Embodiments of the invention provide venting and filtration systems with a membrane that is permeable to gas and substantially impermeable liquid. The systems can remove a gas from a liquid entrained with gas. The systems can include a reservoir in fluid communication with the membrane and a liquid outlet. The membrane can help prevent the gas from reaching the liquid outlet. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20100139713 | Dipper Well System - Embodiments of the invention provide a dipper well to clean smallwares, such as spoons, measuring cups, and ice-cream scoops. The dipper well can include a basin and a recirculation system. The recirculation system can draw a fluid from the basin. The recirculation system can include a filter to reduce contaminants in the fluid before the fluid is recycled back into the basin. | 06-10-2010 |
| 20100224540 | Membrane Module for Fluid Filtration - Embodiments of the invention provide a membrane module including a first plurality of fibers capable of filtering fluids that are helically wound in layers creating a mono helix. Fluids to be treated can flow radially with respect to a longitudinal axis of the mono helix or parallel to the longitudinal axis of the mono helix. The membrane module can further include a second plurality of fibers that are helically wound with the first plurality of fibers to create a dual helix. The second plurality of fibers can have different properties than the first plurality of fibers in order to achieve different filtering functionalities. | 09-09-2010 |

The membrane module can further include a second plurality of fibers that are helically wound with the first plurality of fibers to create a dual helix. The second plurality of fibers can have different properties than the first plurality of fibers in order to achieve different filtering functionalities. | 09-09-2010 |
| 20100224562 | Ultraviolet Disinfection System and Method - Embodiments of the invention provide an ultraviolet disinfection system for use with a chamber containing fluid to be treated. The ultraviolet disinfection system includes an ultraviolet light source positioned outside of the chamber, a light manifold, and light fibers extending into the chamber. The light fibers radially disperse the ultraviolet light in order to provide a substantially uniform distribution of ultraviolet light along at least a portion of a longitudinal axis of the chamber. | 09-09-2010 |
| 20110100895 | Membrane Module for Fluid Filtration - Embodiments of the invention provide a membrane module including a first plurality of fibers capable of filtering fluids that are helically wound in layers creating a mono helix. Fluids to be treated can flow radially with respect to a longitudinal axis of the mono helix or parallel to the longitudinal axis of the mono helix. The membrane module can further include a second plurality of fibers that are helically wound with the first plurality of fibers to create a dual helix. The second plurality of fibers can have different properties than the first plurality of fibers in order to achieve different filtering functionalities. | 05-05-2011 |
| 20110143232 | Gel-Filled Membrane Device and Method - Embodiments of the invention provide a membrane between a first stream of fluid that is partially or wholly in a gas phase and a second stream of fluid. The membrane includes a porous support and pores filled with a gel. The gel can selectively facilitate a transfer of compounds from the first stream to the second stream. The gel can be partially composed of the transferred compounds or materials with similar properties to the transferred compounds. | 06-16-2011 |
| 20110163016 | Reverse Osmosis System - Embodiments of the invention provide a reverse osmosis system including a feed water inlet, a reverse osmosis module coupled to the feed water inlet, and at least one blend valve. The blend valve can be coupled to a permeate outlet and the, feed water inlet and can be capable of blending the feed water and the permeate water to produce mixed water. The blend valve can be adjusted to achieve a desired TDS level in the mixed water. | 07-07-2011 |
