  • DEVICE AND METHOD DETERMINING SCALE THICKNESS ON NON-HEATED SURACES IN FLUID PROCESS APPLICATIONS
    Publication number: 20180074021
    Abstract: Provided is a device and method of determining the thickness of accumulating scale on surfaces exposed to a liquid media. More particularly, it is a method for determining the comparable accumulation of scale such as, calcium or magnesium and carbonate, oxalate, sulfate, or phosphate scale, on cold or hot surfaces in water process applications.

  • Geometry for web microwave heating or drying to a desired profile in a waveguide
    Patent number: 6965099
    Abstract: A microwave heater and/or dryer has a nonlinear or curvilinear relative slot profile geometry. In one embodiment, the microwave dryer has at least one adjustable field modifier making it possible to change the geometry of the heater or dryer when drying different webs. In another embodiment, the microwave dryer provides more uniform drying of a web when the field modifier is adjusted in response to a sensed condition of the web. Finally, a method of microwave heating and/or drying a web achieves a uniform heating and/or drying profile.

  • Apparatus for drying a paper web at elevated ambient pressures
    Patent number: 5722183
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for drying a fiber web is provided by pressing the web, preferably by impulse drying and then introducing the web into a gas pressurized zone followed by reducing the pressure in the zone, the reduction preferably being effected with cooling of the fiber web.
