Introduction
Gary D Haggard, Sr. is an accomplished inventor based in Lakeway, TX (US). He holds 2 patents that showcase his innovative contributions to the field of filtration and sewage treatment. His work is characterized by a commitment to improving efficiency and effectiveness in environmental engineering.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is the "Filter underdrain with internal air scour laterals." This invention focuses on underdrain units in sand medium or dual medium filtration systems. It includes efficient air, water, and combined air/water cleaning mechanisms. The design allows for the delivery of air, water, or both in a backflow direction from a very low position on the underdrain unit, as well as water from a higher position. This innovative approach effectively removes blocking contaminants on the outside of the underdrain unit and in the surrounding filter media.
Another significant patent is the "Rapid sludge removal clarifier." This invention addresses the critical need for rapid removal of settled solids in secondary clarifiers at sewage treatment plants, particularly those with nutrient removal permits. The design features rake blade flights and squeegees that quickly move solids on the clarifier floor to the sludge pickup tubes, usually in one revolution. The curved and potentially spiral shape of the blade flights allows for efficient movement of gathered sludge toward the pickup tube, enhancing the overall performance of the clarifier mechanism.
