PROCESS PUMPS AND RELATED METHODS OF TREATING A PROCESS LINE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17937687 titled 'PROCESS PUMPS AND RELATED METHODS OF TREATING A PROCESS LINE

Simplified Explanation

The method described in the abstract involves treating a fluid within a process line by using a process pump to mix a treatment chemical with the fluid and then forcing the mixture into the process line.

  • Treatment chemical and fluid are mixed in an injection chamber of a process pump.
  • Upward force is exerted on the lower cylinder of a piston with the mixture in the injection chamber.
  • Downward force is exerted on the upper cylinder of the piston with a second volume of the fluid.
  • The downward force is transmitted to the lower cylinder of the piston to push the mixture out of the injection chamber and into the process line.

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in various industries such as water treatment, chemical processing, and oil and gas production.

Problems Solved

This method provides a more efficient way to treat fluids within a process line, ensuring that the treatment chemical is properly mixed and distributed.

Benefits

The method allows for precise control over the treatment process, leading to improved efficiency and effectiveness in treating fluids within a process line.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include equipment for water treatment plants, chemical processing facilities, and oil and gas refineries.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art for this technology could be traditional methods of fluid treatment using separate mixing and pumping systems.

Unanswered Questions

This article does not provide a direct comparison between this method and traditional methods of fluid treatment.

Are there any limitations to the size or type of fluids that can be treated using this method?

The article does not address any potential limitations regarding the size or type of fluids that can be treated using this method.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method of treating a fluid within a process line includes flowing a treatment chemical and a first volume of the fluid into an injection chamber of a process pump, exerting an upward force on a lower cylinder of a piston of the process pump with a mixture of the treatment chemical and the first volume of the fluid within the injection chamber, exerting a downward force on an upper cylinder of the piston with a second volume of the fluid, and transmitting the downward force to the lower cylinder of the piston to force the mixture out of the injection chamber and into the process line.
