Abstract:
Slime formation is controlled (e.g., retarded or removed) by the intentional addition to industrial waters (e.g., white water in pulp and paper mills) of slime controlling amounts of the enzyme levan hydrolase.
Abstract:
A portable hand-held spray gun having a hollow handle defining a water passageway therein, a venturi positioned in the water passageway and a product conduit line in communication with the throat of the venturi for injecting product (e.g. a liquid detergent) into the water flow. Two trigger-operated valves separately control the flow of water through the water passageway and the injection of the product into the water flow. A nozzle for forming a variable spray pattern is provided downstream of the venturi, the dimensions of the nozzle orifice and venturi throat being such that the injection rate of the product is essentially constant over a wide range of spray patterns.
