Title: Innovations by Harry B Cline
Introduction
Harry B Cline is a notable inventor based in Heath, OH (US), recognized for his contributions to the field of fiberglass insulation manufacturing. With a total of six patents to his name, Cline has developed innovative systems that enhance the efficiency and sustainability of production processes.
Latest Patents
Cline's latest patents include a "Process water reuse system for low pH binders." This recovery system is designed to recycle washwater used in cleaning excess binder and debris from production components, including a forming hoodwall made of non-corrosive materials. The system allows for the binder-containing washwater to be screened and recycled back to the forming hoodwall without the need for further chemical treatment to alter the pH level. Additionally, a binder reclamation system is integrated into the hoodwall washwater recovery system to manage low pH washwater when binder replenishment is necessary. This system introduces an acid solution to the cleaned washwater, effectively lowering the pH from about 2.5 to approximately 3.5. Furthermore, other production components utilize a bulk washwater recovery system that raises the pH to around 8 or above, reducing corrosion risks.
Another significant patent is the "Control of the pH in washwater recovery system for a glass forming line." This invention features a neutralization system that controls the pH of washwater used for cleaning polyacrylic bound glass forming equipment. The system introduces a base solution when the pH falls below approximately 8.0, thereby minimizing corrosion associated with acidic binders. A second embodiment of this invention includes a closed-loop hoodwall reclaim washwater recovery system that operates independently of the washwater neutralization system, allowing for the recovery and reuse of a polycarboxylic acid binder with minimal base solution.
