Abstract: A method is described that relates to reducing amounts of regenerant waste or increasing the concentration of regenerant waste from ion exchange processes. A method is described that may allow a batch ion exchange process to compete on these factors with continuous or simulated continuous ion exchange processes, and/or to improve the efficiency in operation continuous or simulated continuous ion exchange processes. A specific application addressed is the treatment of water in the Coal Bed Methane Process.

Abstract: Fluid transporting fractal devices, which can be employed whenever a controlled distribution and/or collection of fluids is desired, are constructed to position fractal stages of either progressively smaller or progressively larger scales along the direction of flow (Plates #1-#8). A preferred construction assigns generations of recursive fractal pattern to plates arranged in a stack.

Abstract: A plurality of chromatographic separation operations, including a first simulated moving bed operation, are coupled into a process which functions, preferably through the application of continuous displacement chromatography, to recover a fraction rich in small organic molecules, notably betaine and/or invert from sucrose solutions, enabling the subsequent production of a high purity sucrose product.

Abstract: A “block” of betaine is displaced from the circulation loop of an ion exclusion system configured as an SMB without disturbing the normal operation of the system. In practice, a betaine-concentrated fraction is withdrawn (17) from the circulating loop of the SMB while an equal volume of water is introduced (15) to the loop. The circulation loop thereby continues without disruption.

Abstract: An artificial eddy cascade structure, useful as a fluid input and/or fluid collection device with respect to a contained volume of fluid, is provided as a fractal construct of recursively smaller fluid conduits of recursively greater number, whose terminal points fill the contained volume with a high degree of density. The cascade structure functions as an alternative to, or avoidance of, the inter-fluid turbulence normally associated with fluid transport, mixing, distribution and collection operations.
