  • Device and method for controlling deposit formation
    Patent number: 10233102
    Abstract: The invention suggests a method for controlling the deposit formation in a main system of a liquid bearing system, wherein a liquid is transported inside the liquid bearing system, wherein the liquid bearing system comprises a main system and a subsystem, wherein the subsystem is configured such that a tendency of deposit formation is promoted more inside the subsystem than inside the main system.
    Type: Grant

  • Device and method for detecting deposits
    Patent number: 9772312
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and device for detecting and analyzing deposits in liquid-bearing systems. More particularly, the device relates to being able to detect and analyze deposits in a liquid-bearing systems such as industrial plants that use and store fluids. The method relates to being able to determine a distribution of the run time of a detected ultrasonic reflection signal and analyzing the distribution to determine if deposits are deposited onto a heated reflecting area.

  • COMPOSITION AND METHOD OF SCALE CONTROL IN REGULATED EVAPORATIVE SYSTEMS
    Publication number: 20150251939
    Abstract: This invention pertains to a synergistic blend comprised of a polyamino acid and an anionic carboxylic polymer. The blend is able to effectively stabilize the calcium salts that lead to scale formation in evaporative systems. This blend shows high levels of efficacy in the acidic high conductivity waters found in many evaporative systems such as sugar and biorefining.
