| 20110024358 | APPARATUS AND PROCESSES FOR REMOVING BORON FROM LIQUIDS - A process removes boron from ion exchange system regeneration solution including introducing a borate precipitator into the regeneration solution in a precipitation zone to generate borate precipitate; introducing a coagulator into the regeneration solution that coagulates solids and/or borate precipitate generated by the borate precipitator and absorbs boron into the solids; introducing the regeneration solution, solids and borate precipitate into a separation zone; introducing anionic polymer into the regeneration solution adjacent to or in the separation zone to increase the propensity of borate precipitate and solids to separate from the regeneration solution; and filtering the regeneration solution to remove residual suspended solids from the regeneration solution. Another process removes boron from ion exchange system regeneration solution including introducing a caustic material into the regeneration solution; heating the regeneration solution to a selected temperature; introducing heated regeneration solution into an evaporation zone to remove at least a substantial portion of water from the regeneration solution and thereby form a slurry comprising boron salt(s); and introducing the slurry into a crystallizer zone to remove residual water. | 02-03-2011 |
| 20100282139 | METHODS FOR INCINERATING SLUDGE IN A COMBUSTOR - A method controls mass and heat loading of sludge feed into a fluidized bed combustor (FBC) controlled via regulation of a polymer dosage or a sludge feed rate including: continuously monitoring at least one performance characteristic of the FBC; producing an input signal characteristic; analyzing the input signal and determining a first rate of change of the characteristic; generating an output signal based on the first rate of change to control addition of polymer to the FBC; generating a second output signal to control addition of sludge feed to the FBC; and determining a transition point between the addition of polymer and addition of sludge, which transition point is an upper limit of a first rate change to maintain flow so that the value of the characteristic is maintained proximate at the upper limit. | 11-11-2010 |
