Abstract:
Methods, apparatuses and systems directed to clathrate hydrate modular storage, applications and utilization processes. In one implementation, the present invention provides a method of creating scalable, easily deployable storage of natural gas and thermal energy by assembling an array of interconnecting, modular gas clathrate hydrate storage units.
Abstract:
The present invention is a device for separation of particulates with widely different densities from swimming pool waters open to contamination from windblown debris. Vacuum hose cleaning of the bottoms swimming pools requires pre-filtering for leaf, branch, and grass removal before the water passes to the primary filter. The present invention is a low pressure, liquid filled, cylindrical vessel situated vertically wherein the vacuumed mixture of leaves, branches, grass, soil, gravel, and water is introduced tangentially to the interior walls of the cylindrical vessel. An axially located, perforated collection pipe is connected to external piping permitting water draw-off. The tangentially flowing contaminated waters release their leaves, branches, and grass into an annular flowing zone close to the cylindrical vessel walls while heavier soil particles and gravel fall to the floor of the vessel.

Abstract:
The present invention is a small bubble generator in a water stage cleaning and cooling a smoke filled air stream. A demister is a second embodiment of the invention to remove entrained water droplets from a cleaned and cooled smoke filled air stream issuing from the water stage.
