  • Chemistry to prevent the build up of hard ash deposits on equipment
    Patent number: 5389135
    Abstract: The instant invention comprises a method of preventing ash deposition on equipment comprising adding a hemicellulose extract to phosphonate to form a mixture. The ratio hemicellulose extract to phosphonate in the mixture is preferably between 75 to 1 to 100 to 1. Once the mixture is formed, it is introduced to the equipment by injection into the spray water line. (Dosages of the mixture were based on the water flow). Alteratively, molasses maybe used in place of the hemicellulose extract to achieve comparable results by the instant method.
