  • Patent number: 11130687
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a coagulant composition comprising a coagulant and a carbon source compound, wherein the coagulant is selected from the group iron and aluminium salts, or any combination thereof. The carbon source includes methanol, ethanol or glycol. The present invention further relates to a method of treating wastewater, e.g. containing nitrogen and/or phosphate, including providing the coagulant composition to wastewater before, during and/or after a biological treatment step, and the use of the coagulant composition in wastewater treatment.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9302130
    Abstract: A fire protection system is provided including spray nozzles a pump unit, a control system with pressure-measuring mechanism, and piping for conducting extinguishing medium from the pump unit to the spray nozzles. The pump unit includes pump drives, each of which comprises a pump and an AC electric motor. The AC motor can be connected to an AC electricity network via a contactor device, in which pump unit the AC electric motors are controlled on the basis of the pressure measured in the piping. One of the electric motors is controlled by means of a frequency converter such that the motor steplessly adjusts pressure and the others are started up into the network as steplessly adjusting motors.
