Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Methods for monitoring scale deposition in a water-containing industrial process are disclosed. In certain embodiments, the water-containing industrial process is an aqueous cooling system. In certain embodiments, the methods incorporate fluorometric monitoring and control techniques along with a piezoelectric microbalance sensor. A particular embodiment of a piezoelectric microbalance sensor is additionally disclosed, along with at least one method for using the particular embodiment that is independent of whether fluorometric monitoring and control techniques are utilized.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An automated method of monitoring a process upset and recovery of an aqueous cooling system, the automated method comprising: providing an aqueous cooling system comprising cooling water; providing a fluorometer; providing a piezoelectric microbalance sensor capable of self-cleaning; providing a central control system; operably connecting the fluorometer and the piezoelectric microbalance sensor to the aqueous cooling system and the central con…
