Control Of Ph In Formaldehyde-Free Binder Systems

View page
US Patent:
7642306, Jan 5, 2010
Filed:
Jun 25, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/877653
Inventors:
Mark William Charbonneau - Littleton CO, US
Michael William Luka - Littleton CO, US
Assignee:
Johns Manville - Denver CO
International Classification:
C08G 63/06
US Classification:
524284, 524556
Abstract:
A system for controlling the pH of a formaldehyde-free aqueous binder composition used in the manufacture of glass fiber products. Following the formation of an aqueous binder composition, acid is added to the composition to reduce the pH to less than about 3. 4. After the acid is combined with the aqueous binder composition, the pH of the composition is measured and then compared within a pre-set set point. The rate of acid addition is then adjusted thereby adjusting the pH of the composition such that the measured pH equals the set point pH. The pH measurement is preferably done before the addition of other additives to avoid interference by those additives.

Control Of Ph In Formaldehyde-Free Binder Systems

US Patent:
7872062, Jan 18, 2011
Filed:
Nov 17, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/590969
Inventors:
Mark William Charbonneau - Littleton CO, US
Michael William Luka - Littleton CO, US
Assignee:
Johns Manville - Denver CO
International Classification:
C08K 3/00
US Classification:
524247, 524249, 524494

Controlling Corrosion In Process Water Systems

View page
US Patent:
20050284820, Dec 29, 2005
Filed:
Jun 25, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/877651
Inventors:
Michael Luka - Littleton CO, US
International Classification:
C02F001/66
US Classification:
210743000
Abstract:
A system for controlling the pH of the process water used in conjunction with formaldehyde-free binder composition for glass fiber products. A base solution is introduced into the process water used to coat the glass fibers in the formaldehyde-free binder after the water is extracted from binder coated glass fibers when the pH of the process water in less than about 6.0. The addition of the base solution increases the pH of the process water to a range from about 8.0 to about 6.0 thereby reducing the risk of corrosion when the process water is recirculated.

Method For Delivery Of Formaldehyde-Free Resins

View page
US Patent:
20060014925, Jan 19, 2006
Filed:
Jul 15, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/891606
Inventors:
Michael Luka - Littleton CO, US
Michael Miks - Littleton CO, US
International Classification:
C08F 6/00
US Classification:
528503000
Abstract:
A method for delivering and processing a formaldehyde-free resin at a facility. The method maintains the resin slurry at a minimum temperature throughout storage of the resin slurry and use of the resin slurry to prepare a binder composition at a make up site. Maintaining the resin slurry at or above a minimum temperature ensures that a minimum viscosity is maintained to permit the proper flow of the resin slurry. The method utilizes external heat sources in conjunction with storage and transport systems to ensure that a minimum temperature is maintained.

Burner Panels, Submerged Combustion Melters, And Methods

US Patent:
20200263870, Aug 20, 2020
Filed:
Apr 24, 2020
Appl. No.:
16/857302
Inventors:
- Denver CO, US
Michael William Luka - Littleton CO, US
Jonathan McCann - Castle Rock CO, US
Aaron Morgan Huber - Castle Rock CO, US
Mark William Charbonneau - Highlands Ranch CO, US
Paul Oscar Segar - Tucson AZ, US
James E Graf - Littleton CO, US
International Classification:
F23C 3/00
C03B 5/235
F23D 14/78
F23D 14/22
F23D 11/36
F23D 11/12
B23H 1/00
Abstract:
Combustion burner panels, submerged combustion melters including one or more of the panels, and methods of making the same are disclosed. In certain embodiments, the burner panel includes a panel body having first and second major surfaces, at least one oxidant through-passage extending from the first to the second major surface, and at least one fuel through-passage extending from the first to the second major surface. Oxidant and fuel delivery conduits are positioned in the respective passages. The oxidant and fuel delivery conduits include proximal and distal ends, at least some of the distal ends positioned away from the first major surface of the panel body. In other embodiments the burner panels include a frame enclosing a porous material having through passages for fuel and oxidant. The burner panels may enable delaying combustion in a submerged combustion melter, and therefore promote burner life and melter campaign length.
