Patent CA-2329953-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BONNICK DAVID MACDONALD
IPC: G01N31/22
Filed: 2001-01-02
Abstract: A method and system for directly monitoring and controlling a continuous process stream for dechlorination residual is provided. A sample stream to which a dechlorination agent has been added to completely eliminate a residual disinfectant is continuously drawn off. An analyzing agent of iodine is provided by introducing an iodide solution, a chloramine-T solution, and an acetic acid buffer into the sample stream. The reagents quickly react to produce iodine that reacts with any residual disinfectant removal agent residual that may be present. Thereafter, the sample stream is continuously analyzed to determine the amount of unreacted iodine remaining in the process sample. Based on the amount of iodine added to the process sample and the amount of unreacted iodine remaining in the sample after reaction, the amount of dechlorination residual is continuously determined. The amount of dechlorination agent added upstream to the process stream is continuously selectively varied using the determined amount of dechlorination residual present in the process sample.

Patent CA-2336076-A1 (CA)
Title: Mounting apparatus
Inventor: SPINNER GERD
IPC: F41G1/32
Filed: 2000-04-20
Abstract: The inventive mounting device, which is located on a fire arm, has a longitudinal mounting channel (1) on which a mounting base (11) can be placed, said mounting base serving as a device support. The mounting base is only held in place by the pressure of a predetermined spring force instead of being clamped tight in such a way that it cannot be freed without releasing the clamping device, as is customary. Therefore, it is also possible to produce the longitudinal mounting channel (1) from a plastic that can only be subjected to a limited compressive load per unit area.

Inventor: ARBEUS ULF
IPC: C02F3/22
Filed: 2001-08-09
Abstract: The invention concerns a method and a device for treating liquids, such as wastewater. According to the invention the liquid is transported by help of a pump (10) from the lower area of a tank (1) through a vertically directed pipe (3) up to a 180 degree bend (5) located above the water surface and where air is sucked in through openings in the bend. The air-liquid mixture is then guided through a second pipe (6) having its outlet (7) close to the tank bottom (2). In this area the flow is once more linked 180 degrees and is directed through a third pipe (8) ending close to the water surface.  Thanks to the linking through the pipe (8), a decrease of the static head is obtained against which the pump (10) operates.
