  • Publication number: 20160304367
    Abstract: A system, composition and method of treating a body of water with an active in a tablet form or contained in a water soluble container to improve overall water quality and ensure adequate dispersion of the active. The composition preferably comprises active(s) and an effervescent couple in solid form. The method preferably comprises dispensing a treatment composition by dropping or throwing the pellets or water soluble containers into the water. The water soluble containers preferably are bag-within-a-bag containers, with an inner bag and outer bag each having the treatment composition and air. Upon contact with the water, the effervescent couple will react to form carbon dioxide, which aids in dispersing the active and any optional ingredients in the treatment composition throughout the water.

  • Publication number: 20070164258
    Abstract: The corrosion inhibiting activity of quaternary ammonium compounds is enhanced by the addition of a carbamide, specifically urea. In particular, the arylquinolinium halide corrosion inhibitor's activity with respect to a galvanized surface is significantly enhanced by the addition of the urea.

  • Publication number: 20070163968
    Abstract: Forward osmosis is utilized to dispense chemicals into a process water system such as a cooling tower, chilled water system, boiler, or pulp and paper plant. The dispenser includes a flexible pouch filled with treatment chemicals and an osmotic membrane. The dispenser is placed in the process water system. Water passing through the membrane increases internal pressure, which forces chemical into the process water system. The exposed surface area of the osmotic membrane can be altered to control dispensing rate. The apparatus can either utilize the chemical treatment agent as the osmotic agent, or can be divided into two separate areas utilizing a separate osmotic agent such as sodium chloride. The dispenser can be positioned in the process water system at a location where water flows onto the osmotic membrane only when the process water system is in operation.

  • Patent number: 7077976
    Abstract: The invention is a water treatment composition comprising at least one phosphonamide and blends thereof and a method to treat water. As phosphonamides are generally odorless, and typically solids, phosphonamide and phosphonamide blend compositions are generally odorless, conveniently processed and manufactured, and safely used without risks of exposure to odors and vapors associated with the corresponding amines. Advantageously, phosphonamides blended with amino-phosphate esters provide useful treatment compositions. The inventive compositions are generally used to treat water contained in water flow systems such as boilers and cooling towers.

  • Publication number: 20050035328
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of treating boiler and condensate water by the addition of an effective amount of a hydroxyamine-acid ester treatment reagent or an all-in-one treatment composition comprising a hydroxyamine-acid ester. Modification of a hydroxyamine to a hydroxyamine-acid ester generally reduces the odors of the amine while providing a means to formulate the composition into a solid form. The ester typically decomposes at conditions in the boiler to release the hydroxyamine to treat the boiler water. Other components used to treat boiler water and condensate related problems may be formulated with the hydroxyamine-acid ester to form the all-in-one treatment composition.
