WASHINGTON, DC:
On June 8, 2010, the United States Patent and Trademark Office granted
Raj Mahadevaiah, President & CEO of EIC, a second patent for his new
invention entitled "Multiphase-liquid Level Data Logger (MLLDL).
The MLLDL (Patent No. 7,730,779) simultaneously measures LNAPL or DNAPL thicknesses and water
level fluctuations in a variety of settings such as containers, drums,
tanks, wells, rivers, oceans, and other surface and subsurface
environments at user desired frequencies (seconds to hours or days). In particular, the MLLDL can fit in wells and
openings as small as 2-inches in diameter. This important
invention is very useful in assessing and remediating oil and chemical
spills. The MLLDL will substantially increase the recovery
efficiencies enabling petroleum and chemical industry reach remedial
end points in record time at reasonable costs. The new invention
will not only eliminate wasteful spending but also perpetual cleanup
programs.
