  • Method and apparatus for predicting depletion of deionization tanks and optimizing delivery schedules
    Patent number: 11017344
    Abstract: Systems for analyzing and monitoring deionization tank system performance in a fluid flow system and generating delivery schedules for servicing deionization tanks can include a conductivity sensor and a fluid flow meter. Data regarding the amount and conductivity of fluid flowing through the deionization tank system can be used to predict a remaining capacity of the deionization tank system. A central server can determine the remaining capacity of deionization tank systems at a plurality of service locations. The central server can generate a delivery schedule for servicing deionization tank systems at each of the plurality of service locations based on the determined remaining capacities. Other parameters can be used to optimize efficiency of the delivery schedule while meeting the needs of each of the service locations.

  • Method and apparatus for recharging a deionization vessel
    Patent number: 10167206
    Abstract: Deionization equipment and methods of using such deionization equipment are provided. The deionization equipment allows for improved efficiency in removing spent deionization resin from deionization apparatuses, and also recharging functional deionization resin into deionization apparatuses. Embodiments of the deionization equipment include a resin transfer passage that includes an upper opening, a lower opening and an intermediate opening.
