Determination Of Gas Solubility, Entrained Gas Content, And True Liquid Density In Manufacturing Processes

View page
US Patent:
6766680, Jul 27, 2004
Filed:
Jan 16, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/046240
Inventors:
Qingyuan Chen - Appleton WI
Robert Josef Franda - Sherwood WI
Assignee:
Appleton Papers, Inc. - Appleton WI
International Classification:
G01N 500
US Classification:
73 1905, 73 1901, 73 191, 73 2333, 73 2504, 73 2901
Abstract:
Improved control of continuous processes that handle liquids. Data generated by this invention is used to control gas contents of liquids within optimum ranges, for instance in paper coating processes and in the manufacture of food products (ketchup), personal care products (shampoo), paints, and in any industry where information on entrained and/or dissolved gases, and related parameters such as true density of and gas solubility in process liquids, is employed to optimize processing. The amount of gas in a liquid is determined by subjecting a mixture of an incompressible liquid sample and a compressible gas to three or more different equilibrium pressure states, measuring the temperature and volume of the mixture at each of the pressure states, determining the changes in volume of the mixture between at least two different pairs of pressure states, and calculating the amount of gas in the liquid sample. The inventive apparatus includes: a reservoir for process fluid; piping through which fluid may be pumped, the piping being under the control of a pressure regulator which is capable of setting at least three different pressures P , P , and P in the apparatus; at least three fluid control valves V , V , and V ; a pressure gauge; a temperature gauge; and a density gauge.

US Patent:
7257985, Aug 21, 2007
Filed:
Aug 21, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/644994
Inventors:
Robert Josef Franda - Sherwood WI, US
Qingyuan Chen - Appleton WI, US
Assignee:
Appleton Papers Inc. - Appleton WI
International Classification:
G01N 5/00
G01N 7/00
G01N 37/00
US Classification:
73 1905, 73 1901, 73 191, 73 2333, 73 2504, 73 2901
Abstract:
Methods and apparati for measuring entrained gas content. One of the disclosed apparatus embodiments includes a chamber and piping for process fluid, the piping including two different sectors each comprising a density and temperature gauge having a pressure gauge located upstream and a second pressure gauge located downstream, the two sectors being operatively joined together by a pressure-changing device. The pressure measurement feature may be incorporated into the combination density and temperature gauge, eliminating the need for separate pressure gauges. Data generated by this invention reduces measurement error caused by the dissolving or exsolving of gases with changes in pressure of a fluid, while providing instantaneous measurement, through apparatuses that measure system conditions at each of two pressure states within a very short period of time. For instance, in the context of continuously coating a substrate, the method of this invention comprises: a. ) setting a quantitative target for weight-% of one or more solids, e. g.

Mixture Concentration Control In Manufacturing Processes

US Patent:
6496781, Dec 17, 2002
Filed:
Jun 29, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/893883
Inventors:
Qingyuan Chen - Appleton WI
Robert J. Franda - Sherwood WI
Assignee:
Appleton Papers Inc. - Appleton WI
International Classification:
G01N 3100
US Classification:
702 25, 702 22, 702 23, 702 24, 702137, 700265, 73 5301
Abstract:
The present invention provides an improvement to the two, inaccurate, traditional approaches relating concentration to density. The first of these assumes that the solute is completely insoluble in the solvent; the second is based on a soluble solute. The present improved relationship is referred to as the CONCENTRATION-DENSITY MODEL. This model allows for a theoretical determination of the concentration-density relationship for a multi-component solid/liquid or liquid/liquid mixture. Included in the Concentration-Density Model is a new concept referred to as ADDITIVE VOLUME COEFFICIENT (AVC). This concept compensates for the fact that the net volume of a mixture does not always equal the sum of the volumes of each component. This improved Concentration-Density Model provides fluid-handling manufacturers with a method for accurately determining a mixtures concentration on-line with the aid of current density measurement instrumentation. By allowing for accurate concentration determination in manufacturing scenarios where such measures were previously impractical, the present invention enables improved control of the manufacturing process.
