  • Patent number: 12102976
    Abstract: A fluid-bed granulator system for producing fertilizer granules with a defined size including a fluid-bed granulator, a first cooler externally connected with the fluid-bed granulator or forming an internal part of the fluid-bed granulator, and a product screen connected with the first cooler. The product screen includes an exit for on-size particles; an exit for oversized particles and an exit for undersized particles. The exit for undersized particles is connected to the fluid-bed granulator and the exit for oversized particles is connected to the fluid-bed granulator via one or more crushers. The exit for on-size particles is connected to a first splitter. The first splitter is connected to the fluid-bed granulator and a post processing unit. A particle size analyzer is located between the fluid-bed granulator and the product screen.

  • Publication number: 20190292064
    Abstract: A process for producing a NOx reductant AUS 32 solution (diesel exhaust fluid), including at least the mixing of water and a particulate composition including (i) urea and an additive comprising component (ii). The additive component is a combination of at least one polymer or oligomer containing amino groups and at least one functionalized polyvinyl compound, wherein the proportion by weight of component (i) in the particulate composition is >60% by weight and the proportion by weight of component (ii) in the particulate composition is <1% by weight and wherein a urea solution is obtained and the proportion by weight of component (i) in the urea solution obtained is between 31% by weight and 34% by weight.

  • Publication number: 20080037594
    Abstract: High-speed, high-performance, low-power transponders, serializers and deserializers are disclosed. A transponder may include a transmitter and a receiver. A serializer may include (i) a serdes framer interface (SFI) circuit for receiving data channels and a reference channel from a framer and realigning the data channels, (ii) a clock multiplier unit (CMU) for receiving a clock frequency and translating the clock frequency to a higher clock frequency, (iii) a multiplexing circuit for merging data channels into one data channel, (iv) an output driver stage, (v) a reference selection circuit for selecting a reference clock, filtering the reference clock, and providing to the CMU one of the selected reference clock or a filtered reference clock.
