Methods and systems for providing cleaning and providing barrier coatings to interior wall surfaces of small diameter metal and composite piping systems in buildings. An entire piping system can be cleaned in one single pass by dry particulates forced by air throughout the building piping system by an external generator, and the entire piping system can be coated in one single pass by a machine also connected exterior to the piping system. Small diameter pipes can be protected by the effects of water corrosion, erosion and electrolysis, extending the life of small diameter piping systems such as copper, steel, lead, brass, cast iron piping and piping systems made of composite materials. The invention meets the National Sanitation Foundation standard for products and services that come into contact with potable water, and the American Water Works Association. Coatings can be applied to pipes having diameters of approximately ⅜″ up to approximately 6″ so that entire piping systems such as potable water lines, natural gas lines, HVAC piping systems, drain lines, and fire sprinkler systems in buildings such as single-family homes to smaller walk-up style apartments to multi-floor concrete high-rise hotel / resort facilities and office towers, as well as high-rise apartment and condominium buildings and schools, can be cleaned and coated to pipes within existing walls. The barrier coating forms an approximately 4 mils or greater covering to the inside of pipes. Entire buildings can return to service within approximately 24 to approximately 96 hours depending on the size of the building piping system.

A method for constructing factory prefabricated and finished load bearing wall panels and monolithic ceiling / floor sections and modules comprised of the same for use in a single family or single story building as well as a multi-level and multi-unit building. The integrally formed wall panels are constructed of modified steel studs, rigid insulating material, and metal lathe and are factory finished with plaster or stucco like material. A void is defined by the modified steel studs window casings and door jambs. Upon erection and assembly at the job site, steel rebar is placed in such voids that are then filled with concrete, thereby eliminating the need for any additional concrete form work. The integrally formed monolithic ceiling / floor panels are constructed of a U-shaped “gull wing” steel joist, Styrofoam, metal lathe, plaster or stucco like material, and concrete and are factory finished with plaster or stucco type materials. Sections are assembled to create modules. A module is made up of four wall sections and one ceiling / floor section. The ceiling of one module will function as the floor of the module above. The module, which is hauled and erected at the job site, does not have either a bottom or a floor. The ceiling / floor section, serving as the top, provides a work platform for tradesmen in lieu of scaffolding. The gull wing joists can also be installed on a framing table in the upside-down position such that they will function as roof rafters. Rigid insulation is added next and then a pre-finished sheet steel roof membrane is added as a water proofing membrane.

A portable miniature incinerator is described allowing easy disposal of household garbage for a single-family house or a small apartment building. The housing of the incinerator is mounted on a wheeled hand-truck assembly and contains an incineration block and a filtration block. The incineration block in turn comprises a furnace chamber equipped with an electric heater. The heater is adapted to bring the temperature of the air and therefore the temperature of the garbage up to the point of spontaneous combustion. During the process of heating up the garbage, it becomes dry as the fans of the device remove all water evaporation. Once ignited, the garbage is incinerated in the furnace chamber while all exhaust gases are directed to the filtration unit. The filtration unit has a first stage of filtration comprising a wire mesh separator submerged in water. Exhaust gases pass through the mesh separator and through the water so that the pollutants and exhaust particles are separated from the exhaust gases. Following that first filtration stage, the exhaust gases are sent toward the second cleaning stage, this stage being a fabric-filled gas filter, for complete separation of all impurities. The gases are then directed back towards the furnace chamber to re-circulate the flow of hot gases and save energy. That process continues until the incineration is complete.
