  Patent number: 9337636
  Abstract: A modular fastening kit is provided. The kit includes at least one first connecting unit having a first end including a male connector and an opposite second end including a female connector. The kit includes at least one second connecting unit having a first end including a female connector and an opposite second end including a female connector. The kit includes at least one third connecting unit having a first end extending along a first axis and including a male connector and an opposite second end extending along a second axis and including a male connector. The first axis extends transverse to the second axis. The male connectors each have an exterior fluted surface and the female connectors each have an interior fluted surface. The female connectors are each configured and dimensioned to removably receive one of the male connectors. Systems and methods are disclosed.

  Publication number: 20150362095
  Publication number: 20130334374
  Abstract: A modular fastening system includes a plurality of connecting units. Each connecting unit having at least one male connector at a first end and a female connector at an opposite second end. The male connector having an exterior fluted surface and the female connector having an interior fluted surface to form one connecting unit that can be configured and dimensioned in various confutations and to have various angles. The system will include at least one bracket member that is connectable to a connecting unit and is configured to support an electrical or fluid conduit.
  Process and apparatus for hydrogen purification
  Publication number: 20060254425
  Inventors: Mohamed Safdar Baksh, Mark Ackley, Frank Notaro
  Publication number: 20020134240
  Patent number: 6444014
  Abstract: The invention relates to the use of adsorbent materials that have been selected on the basis of their relationship between that material's intrinsic rate and equilibrium properties.
  Inventors: Joseph Timothy Mullhaupt, Frank Notaro
  Fluid separation process and separation system therefor
  Patent number: 6251164
  Abstract: Separation of one or more fluidic components from a feed fluid containing a plurality of components is accomplished by adsorbent powder entrained in a stream of fluid, such as gas, and preferably is operated as a temperature swing adsorption process using waste thermal energy from a plant.
  Inventors: Frank Notaro, Jeffert John Nowobilski, Dariush Habibollih Zadeh
  Patent number: 6245127
  Abstract: A low pressure swing adsorption process and apparatus for the recovery of carbon dioxide from multi-component gas mixtures, utilizing the simultaneous purge and evacuation of opposite ends of the adsorber(s) to effect controlled depressurization in the adsorber bed(s) to maintain the constant purity of a carbon dioxide-enriched product stream recovered from the adsorber inlet(s).
  Inventors: Michael Scott Kane, Frederick Wells Leavitt, Mark William Ackley, Frank Notaro
  Patent number: 6027548
  Abstract: The invention comprises a PSA apparatus for the separation of a heavy component from a light component in a feed stream. The apparatus includes an adsorbent bed comprising either a mixture of adsorbents or composite adsorbent particles wherein each particle comprises two or more adsorbents. At least one of the adsorbents is comparatively weak and the other is comparatively strong. Another embodiment of the invention is a PSA prepurifier having a bed of adsorbent material which comprises a mixture of, or composite adsorbent particles wherein each particle comprises at least two adsorbents, at least one of the adsorbents being comparatively strong and at least another of the adsorbents being comparatively weak.

  Patent number: 6007606
  Abstract: A PSA process involving the storage of products of various purities in segregated storage tanks for subsequent usage is disclosed. Products of increasing purities, admitted at the product end of the bed, are used during purging and repressurization steps. In addition, different composition streams collected at the feed end of the bed during the countercurrent depressurization step are admitted at the feed end of the bed, in the order of increasing product component content, during the rising pressure step(s). This cycle gives higher recovery and lower bed size factor than prior art PSA cycles.

  Patent number: 5810909
  Abstract: An adsorption process and system for the selective adsorption of a more readily adsorbable component, such as nitrogen, as from air or other feed gas mixture is carried out using a composite adsorbent bed containing different adsorbent materials positioned in separate zones in which the temperature conditions favor adsorption performance of the particular adsorbent material under applicable processing conditions in each zone. A method for the selection of the adsorbent materials is based on Adsorption Figure of Merit values.

  Multi-thermal pulse PSA system
  Patent number: 5766311
  Abstract: Multiple thermal pulses are employed to regenerate segments of an adsorber bed simultaneously in thermal swing adsorption processes. The invention is particularly applicable to air purification as it helps to reduce purge flow and improve regeneration efficiency.
  Inventors: Mark William Ackley, Frederick Wells Leavitt, Frank Notaro, Jeffert John Nowobilski
  Method for production of nitrogen using oxygen selective adsorbents
  Patent number: 5735938
  Abstract: A PSA method incorporating the invention is applicable to the separation of a preferred gas from a mixture of the preferred gas and a less preferred gas. The PSA method uses an adsorbent bed including one or more layers of O.sub.2 equilibrium selective adsorbents, and comprises the steps of: pressurizing the adsorbent bed to a high pressure with a feed of air to enable the adsorbent bed to adsorb O.sub.2 ; extracting from the bed at bed pressure, a flow of N.sub.2 and storing at least some of the flow in a product tank; desorbing O.sub.2 from the adsorbent bed by feeding void gas in the bed enclosure to a storage tank and venting the adsorbent bed to a low pressure region; purging the adsorbent bed by feeding thereto the void gas from the storage tank; and repressurizing the adsorbent bed to an intermediate pressure with a flow of void gas from the storage tank.
