Abstract From the Canadian patent

A method of mixed-bed filtration and demineralization for removing suspended impurities from the primary cooling water in a power plant by means of a demineralizer having a mixed bed formed of a particulate canon and anion exchange resin that have such a surface layer structure that granules are seen to bind with one another under microscopic examination, being able to be operated in a safe and yet economical manner by virtue of established conditions for operating processes, such as regeneration of the demineralizer by backwashing and by passage of chemicals and also replacement of the demineralizer.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed November 8, 1991 and granted April 30, 2002. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended November 8, 2011.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by November 8, 2013.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
