SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND DEVICES FOR INDUSTRIAL TOWER WASTE EXTRACTION
Systems, methods, apparatuses, and devices for removal of undesired materials are disclosed. Production of desired materials may result in the production of undesired materials. The systems, methods, apparatuses, and devices, may provide for removal of the undesired materials from various environments (e.g., industrial, commercial, residential, natural, etc.). The undesired materials may be removed in a substantially continuous manner and may limit or prevent contamination of an ambient environment with the undesired materials. The undesired materials may be removed with high-pressure vacuum through a fluid flow path that keeps the undesired materials from the ambient environment.
