  • Publication number: 20190212059
    Abstract: A lining structure for a refractory vessel contains a first layer containing refractory material; a second layer, in communication with and parallel to the first layer, containing a metal layer or component; and a third layer, in communication with and parallel to the second layer, containing refractory material. The metal component in the second layer contains filled transverse passages, between the surface of the second layer in contact with the first layer and the surface of the second layer in contact with the third layer, producing support structures to maintain the structural integrity of the refractory vessel in use.

  • Patent number: 8034243
    Abstract: The disclosed process and system are used for the denitrification of wastewater. The system comprises: an influent concentration analyzer for measuring an influent dissolved oxygen concentration, an influent nitrate concentration, and an influent nitrite concentration; and a feed chemical controller for providing a feed chemical at a controlled rate. The feed chemical controller is responsive to one or more output signals provided by an automated control loop that accepts input signals from the influent concentration analyzer, which input signals relate to at least two of the influent nitrate concentration, the influent nitrite concentration, and the influent dissolved oxygen concentration.

  • Patent number: 7662287
    Abstract: The disclosed process and system are used for the denitrification of wastewater. The system comprises: an influent flow meter for measuring an influent flow Q; an influent concentration analyzer for measuring an influent dissolved oxygen concentration DOin, an influent nitrate concentration NO3—Nin, and an influent nitrite concentration NO2—Nin; an effluent concentration analyzer for measuring an effluent nitrate concentration NO3—Neff, and an effluent nitrite concentration NO2—Neff?, and a feed chemical controller for providing a feed chemical at a controlled rate. The feed chemical controller is responsive to one or more output signals provided by an automated control loop that accepts input signals from the influent concentration analyzer and the effluent concentration analyzer, which input signals relate to at least NO3—Nin, NO2—Nin, NO3—Neff, and NO2—Neff.

  • Patent number: 7431840
    Abstract: A process and system for denitrification of wastewater. The process includes the steps of measuring an influent flow rate, measuring influent concentrations of nitrates, nitrites, and dissolved oxygen in the wastewater, and using the influent concentrations to determine a nominal amount of methanol to be provided for denitrification. The invention also contemplates the measurement of effluent concentrations of nitrates and nitrites (i.e., NOx), and optionally using the effluent concentrations to adjust the nominal amount of methanol being provided.
