20090159420 - Cooling water corrosion inhibition method: Methods for inhibiting corrosion in aqueous evaporative systems where soluble silica (SiO2) is maintained at residuals between 10 Mg/L and saturation, but more preferably maintained at greater than 300 mg/L as SiO2, to provide corrosion inhibiting silica films that protect system metals. Silica is provided by evaporation of water and... Agent: Stetina Brunda Garred & Brucker

20090159421 - Portable closed circuit, sealed, pressurized distillation system: A method to produce distilled water includes the step of providing a closed-circuit, sealed, pressurized distillation unit. The unit includes a first sealed reservoir to receive and hold distilled water and removably sealingly installed in the distillation unit; a second sealed reservoir to hold contaminated water and removably sealingly installed...

20090159422 - Dehydration method: A dehydration method for removing water from a hydrolysis reaction mixture containing unreacted water generated when monochlorobenzene is hydrolyzed to produce phenol, the method for dehydrating the hydrolysis reaction mixture comprising the steps of supplying a hydrolysis reaction mixture to a distillation tower, supplying a liquid containing monochlorobenzene to the... Agent: Birch Stewart Kolasch & Birch

20090152093 - Liquid treatment device and method: A distillation device for treating liquid to be purified comprising: a) a boiler having an upper chamber (1B) and a lower chamber (1A); b) a liquid delivery system (1) for delivering the liquid to the lower chamber (1A); c) a heater (14) to heat the lower chamber (1A) to a... Agent: Reed Smith LLP

20090145739 - Water treatment system: A desalinization device is provided. The desalinization device may comprise a tank body divided into a condenser chamber and a vaporization chamber. The vaporization chamber is operative to receive salt water and transfer water vapor to the condenser chamber via a turbine. The remaining salt water may be concentrated with...
