Abstract:
The present disclosure generally relates to methods of treating process water using a reactor for generating chlorine dioxide onsite. The onsite generation system may include double ensured precursor feeding, effective reactor, automated control/alarm, and effective product delivery. The reactor may include a mixing device, a first feed line connected to the mixing device, and a second feed line connected to the mixing device. The reactor may include a proximal portion in fluid communication with the mixing device and a distal portion in fluid communication with a motive water line. The mixing device, the reactor, a portion of the first feed line, and a portion of the second feed line may be positioned within the motive water line.
Abstract:
A cationic polymer salt composition is provided that includes a reaction product derived from reaction of a polyamine or a polyalkyleneimine and a substituted alkyl trialkyl quaternary ammonium salt. Also provided are surfactant compositions. The compositions may also include carriers, such as water, methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, butanol, isobutanol, monoethyleneglycol, an ethyleneglycol monobutyl ether, and hexylene glycol.

Abstract:
A method of producing chlorine dioxide is disclosed. The method may include feeding a reaction mixture into a separator. The reaction mixture may follow a helical path through the separator and produce gaseous chlorine dioxide within the separator. Gaseous chlorine dioxide may be withdrawn from the separator and used to disinfect process water.

Abstract:
Described herein are the methods of using a cationic alkyl polyglycoside in a fouling control composition to reduce microbial and/biofilm growth in a water system. The described methods or compositions are found to be effective than those methods or compositions including commonly used single quaternary compounds for reducing microbial or biofilm growth in water systems.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are the methods of using specific di-cationic or multiple charged cationic compounds, which are derived from primary amine or polyamines through an aza-Michael addition with an α, β-unsaturated carbonyl compound or from polyamines through both an aza-Michael addition with an α, β-unsaturated carbonyl compound and a ring-opening reaction with an epoxide, in a fouling control composition to reduce microbial and/biofilm growth in a water system. The disclosed methods or compositions are found to be more effective than those methods or compositions including commonly used single quaternary compounds for reducing microbial or biofilm growth in water systems.

Abstract:
Methods of maintaining accuracy in the measurement of one or more parameters of industrial water in industrial water systems is disclosed. The methods comprise the use of physical and chemical means to prevent and/or remove deposition from one or more surfaces utilized in measurement of the one or more parameters. The deposition may be caused by, for example, corrosion, fouling, or microbiological growth.
