IPC: C02F3/30
Filed: 2014-03-14
Abstract: Methods and systems for the growth of heterotrophic eukaryotic biomass that use pH modulations in order to treat wastewater and produce biomass in optimized quantities. The present technology relates to wastewater treatment where the pH is purposely modulated upwards or downwards to create a physiological stressor that reduce the prevalence of prokaryotic microbes and allows eukaryotic microbes to survive. For example, the wastewater treatment process can be employed using a system designed to modulate the pH of a reactor upwards and/or downwards by at least 1 pH unit at a given frequency. Modulating the pH in this fashion creates a physiological stressor that helps to reduce the prevalence of prokaryotes and allows eukaryotes to survive.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method is disclosed for generating a discrete forecasted staff report. The method commences with the definition of a set of shifts, each shift having daily and weekly time segments. Using these shifts, "baseline staff coverage in then inputted into a work schedule to thereby meet, represent, or otherwise define an employer's current staff. Similarly, "projected staff coverage is then determined in anticipation of meeting, representing, or otherwise defining a future staffing demand. With both "baseline staff and "projective staff in place, variance between the two is then calculated discretely throughout the work schedule for each daily and weekly time segment. The forecasted staff report is then generated such that the staffing information provided therein (such as, hiring suggestions) is composed as a function of preferably both (a) the variance and (b) at least one predefined staffing constraint.

Abstract: Enhanced methods and apparatuses for preparing an oil sand slurry can include depositing mined oil sand ore into a rotatable breaker tube. As the rotary breaker rotates, the ore is advanced and broken. Process fluid may be differentially distributed throughout the length of the rotary breaker, forming an oil sand slurry and assisting in the comminution and ablation of the ore. The comminuted oil sand and process fluid passes through perforations in the interior surface of the rotary breaker, and are collected in a hopper below, while oversized ore lumps are ejected out of the discharge end of the rotary breaker. The rotatable breaker tube is resistant to backflow at higher infeed rates, and may have various features related to perforation sizing, design of lifting and advancing elements, and process fluid supply configurations.
