Abstract
Abstract A method and apparatus for stripping carbon dioxide from a liquid for use in measuring true acid conductivity of boiler feed condensate. The condensate is passed through a standard LarsonLane column connected in series with a column, packed with an inert packing material. An inert gas is bubbled through the packed column to displace the carbon dioxide by mechanical action.

Claim 3
Independent Claim

A method determining whether the anions resin within a demineralizer is dangerously exhausted, comprising the steps of: a. taking a first test sample from the demineralizer influent; b. passing the first test sample through a column containing cation resin; c. passing the effluent from step (b) through a column containing an inert packing material while bubbling inert gas therethrough so as to scrub carbon dioxide dissolved therein; d. measuring the conductivity of the effluent from step (c); e. taking a second test sample from the demineralizer effluent; f. passing the second test sample through a column containing cation resin; g. passing the effluent from step (f) through a column containing inert packing material while bubbling an inert gas therethrough so as to scrub carbon dioxide dissolved therein; h. measuring the conductivity of the effluent from step (g); and i. comparing the conductivity from step (d) with the conductivity from step (h) so as to determine the ability of the anion resin to remove anions from the demineralizer influent.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
