Patents by Inventor Mizuyuki SAKAI

Mizuyuki SAKAI has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20230108206
    Abstract: This invention effectively suppresses the corrosion fatigue of a boiler evaporation tube that is associated with repeated stress attributed to the presence of a corrosive environment and scales. This method for suppressing corrosion fatigue of a boiler evaporation tube includes maintaining the dissolved oxygen concentration of the boiler water at 1.0 mg/L or less. Preferably deionized water is used for the boiler water and a scale dispersant is present in the boiler water.

  • Publication number: 20230094476
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to effectively reduce the corrosion fatigue of an evaporating tube in a boiler which occurs in association with a corrosive environment or repeated application of stress due to the presence of scales. A method for reducing the corrosion fatigue of an evaporating tube in a boiler, in which each of the concentration of chloride ions and the concentration of sulfate ions in the boiler water is managed at 10 mg/L or less. It is preferred to manage each of the concentration of chloride ions and the concentration of sulfate ions in boiler water by subjecting boiler feed water to a desalination treatment with an ion exchange device, a reverse osmosis membrane device or an electrodeionization device or by increasing the collection rate of boiler condensed water.

  • Patent number: 10384966
    Abstract: Provided are a method for removing scale and a scale remover that can efficiently remove scale deposited inside a boiler can or the like in an addition amount of chemicals permissible in terms of cost without corroding a boiler, particularly can efficiently remove scale deposited inside a boiler can even in a facility operated with feed water containing high-concentration iron. A method for removing scale deposited in a system of a steam generating facility, wherein polyacrylic acid having a weight-average molecular weight of more than 20,000 and 170,000 or less and/or a salt thereof is added to feed water of the steam generating facility. When the feed water contains iron, polymethacrylic acid having a weight-average molecular weight of more than 1,000 and 100,000 or less and/or a salt thereof is further added in combination.

  • Patent number: 9834462
    Abstract: Provided is a method for removing a scale in a steam generation facility, whereby it becomes possible to remove a scale deposited on the inside of a boiler vessel during the operation of a boiler without causing corrosion of the boiler. A method for removing a scale in a steam generation facility is disclosed, wherein in the steam generation facility, a pH of boiler water is adjusted to 11.3 or more, and a polyacrylic acid having a weight average molecular weight that is 0.50 to 2.00 times a reference weight average molecular weight as calculated from the following calculation formula (1), or a salt thereof, is added in accordance with the pH value of the boiler water during the operation of a boiler, thereby removing a scale deposited on the inside of a boiler vessel: Reference weight average molecular weight=?8462×{(pH value)?11.3}+61538??(1).
