  • Patent number: 6797177
    Abstract: This invention relates to a process for inhibiting scale and fouling on metal surfaces exposed to an aqueous system, particularly a circulating aqueous system. The process comprises adding glutamic acid N,N diacetic acid, or salts thereof, to the aqueous system. Glutamic acid N,N diacetic acid, or salts thereof, act as a chelating agent and is biodegradable. The process is particularly useful for inhibiting the formation of scale and fouling on metal surfaces of steam generating and cooling systems.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6337047
    Abstract: This invention relates to a process for dispersing corrosion products, specifically iron oxide, in steam generating boilers. Improved dispersion is achieved by adding a dispersant to a feedpoint of the steam generating boiler where the composition comprises: (a) a copolymer of sulfonated styrene and maleic anhydride or maleic acid; and (b) diethylenetriamine penta (methylene phosphonic acid).
