A business accesses a campaign server and inputs information relevant to a marketing campaign. The server sends invitations to social media influencers, who then post content to various platforms to influence customers to act in ways beneficial to the business, either by further advancing the marketing campaign or by actually generating revenue for the sponsor. The system tracks the social media reactions of customers (likes, shares, etc.), as well as real-world activity (product purchases, physical attendance at advertised locations, etc.), attributable to each influencer, and points are awarded based on the activity they generate among customers. The points are weighted according to the type of activity generated and/or the social media platforms on which the activity is generated, and the running point totals of the influencers are published to foster competition among them. A total reward is allocated and paid to the influencers according to their relative total accumulated points.

A simple hand held label degrading device and method employs a molded polymer ring (collar) having a plurality of molded hardened pointed teeth on the internal circumference projecting radially inward for degrading the label of a prescription bottle or the like inserted therein. A longitudinal slot in the collar allows it to be fitted over a bottle such that simple hand squeezing of the collar compresses the collar around the bottle and engages the pointed teeth against the label. Simple hand twisting of the collar around the bottle in a clockwise or counterclockwise rotation cuts through the plastic composite or paper label and shreds the label rendering sensitive information illegible thus protecting personal health information. The bottles can then be thrown away or recycled without fear of medical identity theft.

A system for controlling a reagent flow to a furnace in a SCNR process includes at least one injection distribution module (IDM) for supplying water to a plurality of injection lances, metering valves for supplying a NOx reducing agent to the plurality of injection lances, wherein the reagent injection rate of each injection lance is controlled by one metering valve such that a reagent concentration in each injection lance is adjustable and variable from one another. A method for controlling a reagent flow to a furnace includes providing at least one IDM, and for each IDM, providing a plurality of injection lances in communication with the IDM, supplying water to the plurality of injection lances through the IDM and supplying a NOx reducing agent through metering valves, wherein each metering valve controls the reagent injection rate to one injection lance.

Infinitely variable injector for improved SNCR performance

In a large exhaust duct from a lean burn combustion source, such as a boiler, diesel engine or gas turbine, multiple injectors can be used to inject a reagent, such as an aqueous solution of urea or ammonia, into the exhaust for use in the catalytic reduction of NOx in a process known in the art as selective catalytic reduction (SCR). When operating at low injection rates, such as during low combustor loads, the injectors are operated individually for short periods of time in a sequential manner.

System and method for sequential injection of reagent to reduce NOx from combustion sources

A lean burn combustion source includes a first side stream comprising an inlet and an outlet, both positioned downstream of a furnace and upstream of a particulate control device, and a second side stream comprising: an inlet positioned downstream of the particulate control device and upstream of the catalyst, a heat exchanger section passing through the first side stream, whereby heat from hot exhaust gas flowing through the first side stream is transferred to hot exhaust gas flowing through the second side stream, an injector positioned in the second side stream injecting aqueous based reagent into the hot exhaust gas flowing through the second side stream such that the aqueous based reagent decomposes to ammonia gas, and an outlet in fluid communication with a reagent distribution device positioned in the primary exhaust gas stream downstream of the particulate control device and upstream of the catalyst.

A system and method for reducing NOx emissions from a lean burn combustion source is provided. The system includes a blower passing air through a continuous duct having a hot portion and a reaction portion. The hot portion of the duct is positioned in the convective zone of the combustion source to heat the passing air for the reaction portion of the duct. An injector attached to a urea storage container is positioned in the reaction portion of the duct and sprays urea from the storage container into the heated air in the reaction duct for evaporation and decomposition into ammonia gas. The ammonia gas is then supplied to an injection grid in the exhaust duct of the lean burn combustion source upstream of a NOx reduction catalyst. The injection grid supplies the ammonia gas to the exhaust gas in the exhaust duct.

A safe, reliable system for automatically dosing diesel truck fuel tanks with a fuel additive is provided. The additive, such as a concentrated solution containing fuel borne catalyst (FBC), is fed by positive feed means in pulsed doses while the engine is on. The frequency and amount of FBC injection is controlled as a function of the time the engine is operated and predetermined values for rate of fuel consumption and intended additive concentrations in the fuel.

Engine on pulsed fuel additive concentrate dosing system and controller

A safe, reliable system for automatically dosing diesel truck fuel tanks with a fuel additive is provided. The additive, such as a concentrated solution containing fuel borne catalyst (FBC), is fed by gravity and dosing is controlled with a signal from a switch located on the ignition switch and/or the fuel tank cap and filler spout. When the ignition switch is in the on position and/or the cap is removed, a solenoid opens a valve and permits a timed or otherwise measured amount of additive to flow into the tank while the cap is off. Replacing the cap and/or turning off the ignition switch preferably stops the flow of additive, the flow rate being set to supply a predetermined amount of additive during an average refueling interval.
