Title: Bruce L Bruso: Innovator in Coal and Sewage Treatment Technologies

Introduction

Bruce L Bruso is a notable inventor based in Hegins, PA (US), recognized for his contributions to environmental technology. He holds a total of 11 patents, showcasing his innovative approaches to refining coal and processing sewage sludge.

Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is a method and apparatus for refining coal. This method involves processing coal to remove sulfur and other contaminants by mixing it in a solution of aqueous ammonia. The preferred concentration range of ammonia to water is between 3% and 5%. The mixing process ensures that the solution contacts the surfaces and pores of the coal. The process is carefully monitored to maintain the ammonia concentration within the selected range. The cleaned coal can be rinsed and dried or dried without rinsing to create an ammonia coating on its surfaces and pores. Additionally, several plant layouts for implementing this method are described in the patent.

Another significant patent by Bruce L Bruso is focused on the process and apparatus for further processing sewage sludge and other materials. This invention aims to reduce pathogens and toxins in biosolids. The apparatus features a hydraulically sealable top that can be opened for loading or closed to seal the contents. It includes a reagent injection system, a mixing device, a heating system, and an internal vapor recovery system. The design allows for effective treatment of toxic materials while recovering gases and reagents.
