PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Compound for Preventing. Incrustation and Corrosion
in Steam and other Hot Water Boilers.
We, WILLIAM JAMES TRANTER, of Swan Inn, Great Bridge, Tipton, Engineer,
and OLIVER HOWL, of Tipton Engineering Works, Tipton, Engineer, both in the
County of Stafford, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
This invention relates to an improved compound for preventing the deposit or
adherence of incrustation in steam boilers or other vessels used for heating water,
such compound having commercially the character of a solid, as against a liquid-
compound.
It consists primarily of Irish moss, gambier, shale (or as it is sometimes called
"cutch") dextrine, soda ash (alkali 58%), soda crystals, sugar (Egyptian), caustic
potash, whitestone and tartaric acid. To these may be added: Paraffin molley,
petroleum, ammonia, bicarbonate of soda, phosphate of soda, chloride of sodium or
starch.
In ordinary cases the compound is made up in or about the following proportions,
by weight:
Irish moss
Gambier
Shale (cutch)
Dextrine
Soda ash

The other ingredients before named may be added at discretion according to the
state of the boiler or the water under treatment.
By these means an improved compound of a solid character is made which very
effectually prevents corrosion of the plates and incrustation.

The other ingredients before named may be added at discretion according to the
state of the boiler or the water under treatment.
By these means an improved compound of a solid character is made which very
effectually prevents corrosion of the plates and incrustation.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this our said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, we declare that what
we claim is :-
The hereindescribed composition of matter to be used for preventing or removing
the incrustation in steam boilers or other vessels used for heating water, consisting
of Irish moss, gambier, sbale, dextrine, soda ash, soda crystals, sugar, caustic
potash, whitestone, and tartaric acid, in or near the proportions specified, and of
the optional use therewith of the additional matters named under special
circumstances.
