Abstract

See full text

Forward osmosis is utilized to dispense chemicals into a process water system such as a cooling tower, chilled water system, boiler, or pulp and paper plant. The dispenser includes a flexible pouch filled with treatment chemicals and an osmotic membrane. The dispenser is placed in the process water system. Water passing through the membrane increases internal pressure, which forces chemical into the process water system. The exposed surface area of the osmotic membrane can be altered to control dispensing rate. The apparatus can either utilize the chemical treatment agent as the osmotic agent, or can be divided into two separate areas utilizing a separate osmotic agent such as sodium chloride. The dispenser can be positioned in the process water system at a location where water flows onto the osmotic membrane only when the process water system is in operation.
