  • An additional fifteen-liter (four-gallon) quantity of Composition B was then added directly to the one hundred and fourteen-liter (30-gallon) reservoir.
  • Composition B Within about 15 to 30 seconds, water immediately began flowing in the return line from the press back to the reservoir indicating that Composition B was removing the various contaminants. It was observed that the substance being removed by Composition B contained paper dust, slime, fungus, algae, ink components, and the like. About 132 liters (35 gallons) of such substance were collected in an empty barrel. In about 30 minutes, about 757 liters (200 gallons) of fresh water were passed through the water system to further help remove the debris and remains of dead algae and bacterial growth and minerals which had been dislodged and/or dissolved by Composition B.
  • the recirculating system was then recharged with a standard fountain solution having a pH of about 3.8.
  • the press was immediately placed into production.
  • Normal startup recovery time had previously been about 20 to 25 printed sheets before production.
  • startup recovery time was about 2 to 3 sheets. It is believed that the better startup was because the pH of Composition, B was at or near the recommended pH of the fountain solution.
  • products previously used comprised sodium hydroxide, glycol ethers and biocides, with some of these products containing foaming agents or alkasises such as caustic soda.
  • the residual pH left in the water system after using traditional cleaning products would normally be in a range of about 9 to about 10.5.
  • the pH of fountain solutions is typically in a range of about 3.8 to about 4.0 and since Composition B has a similar residual pH, use of Composition B provides a direct benefit to production ability, print quality, and reduction of water costs.
  • composition B as described herein
  • the test site consisted of a swimming pool which contained 95000 liters (25,000 gallons) of water which was substantially free of chlorine and other chemical substances.
  • the swimming pool was rectangular in shape with a shallow end depth of approximately one meter (three feet) and a deep end depth of approximately three meters (nine feet).
  • the swimming pool had been covered and dormant for about nine months. Before treatment, the water appeared blackish in color and emitted a strong foul odor.
  • the surface areas of the pool under water were covered with a green algae growth which was about 3.8 centimeters (1.5 inches) thick. The green algae growth appeared to cover an underlying gray-colored algae-type substance. Due to the extensive algae growth, the bottom surface of the pool and the surfaces of the first and second steps of the pool were not visible.
  • the filter media contained in the swimming pool filtration system was diametaceous earth.
  • the pH of the water was 7.2 and the temperature of the water was about 26°C (78°F).
  • Composition B A two hundred and eight-liter (ten-gallon) quantity of Composition B described herein was then added to the pool by pouring Composition B at a steady rate into the pool from a plastic bucket while walking around the edges of the pool from the shallow to the deep end After approximately twenty-five minutes, the color of the water turned to a light green "pea-soup" color. Debris began to float to the top and such debris appeared to be large pieces of the green algae and gray-colored algae-type substance. The clarity of the water continued to improve. After approximately twenty-four hours, the water appeared to be somewhat cloudy or "milky" in color.
  • the green algae and gray-colored algae-type substance appeared to have been "killed” with the remains of such algae appearing as a white skeletal debris which covered the bottom of the pool with some of the debris floating on top.
  • the pH of the pool was 6.8.
  • a flocculent was then added in an amount of about two liters (two fluid quarts) to aid in the removal of the floating debris.
  • the bottom of the pool was vacuumed and the vacuumed debris was exhausted into an area next to the pool.
  • the pH of the pool was 6.8.
  • Tap water was then added to the pool until the pH of the pool water was 7.0.
  • the pool water remained uncovered, dormant, and was not circulated for two weeks.
  • the dissolved oxygen (DO) was 106 parts per million (ppm)
  • the water appeared to very clear (the bottom surface of the deep end was visible)
  • the pump used to circulate the pool water was started and set to circulate the pool water for two hours each day.
  • One week later three weeks total time from the addition of Composition B
  • the DO was 98 ppm.
  • the DO was 44 ppm.
  • the water was still clear, but several small areas of green algae growth on the surface areas of the pool underwater were observed.
  • a 9 liter (2.5 gallon) "maintenance dose" of Composition B described herein was then added to the pool by pouring from a plastic bucket at one end of the pool After adding, the DO was 100 ppm (which was the desired reading) and the pH was 7.4. The pool was then maintained at a dosage rate of 9 liters (2.5 gallons) of Composition B added every two weeks.
  • Test site 1 consisted of an outdoor water garden comprising a circular-shaped fiberglass molded tank having a diameter of about 152 centimeters (5 feet) and which contained approximately 1900 liters (500 gallons) of water. The tank also contained soil, rock, several bricks, and 36 minnows. The water was foul-smelling and black in color. A substance which appeared to be a black mold or algae covered the soil and rocks at the bottom of the tank.
  • a 240 milliliter (eight fluid ounce) quantity of Composition B described herein was then added to the tank by pouring Composition B directly from a plastic bottle into the water at one end of the tank.
  • the temperature of the water during addition was about 26°C (78°F).
  • the water immediately began to bubble.
  • the bubbling began on one end of the tank and proceeded to the other end of the tank within about 15 minutes.
  • the water appeared to be clear and the bricks and rock contained within the tank were completely visible and were no longer covered with the black mold or algae.
  • the minnows appeared to be unaffected by the addition of Composition B. Skeletal debris appeared to cover the bottom of the tank.
  • a pH reading and dissolved oxygen reading were not obtained. Based on the observations, a recommended dosage rate of 240 milliliters (eight ounces) of Composition B applied every two to three weeks was developed.
  • Test site 2 consisted of a standard 110-liter (29-gallon) aquarium containing twenty-three liters (six gallons) of crushed coral gravel. To such aquarium was charged 110 liters (29 gallons) of reverse osmosis treated water. The pH was 8.0. The growth medium used in the tank included a General Electric brand Gro-Lite bulb (which had a UV spectrum similar to sunlight) and TETRA-MIN tropical fish food. The water was allowed to cycle through the aquarium for about five days without the addition of any chemicals, live fish, or plants. After five days, twenty-four small bait shop minnows were added to the water and left alone for about two days (about 48 hours). Then, Composition B was added in an amount of 100 parts Composition B by weight per million parts water (i.e., 100 ppm). About thirty minutes after such addition, the dissolved oxygen level was 106 ppm.
  • the dissolved oxygen level was about 44 ppm and an additional 200 ppm amount of Composition B was added. After thirty minutes, the dissolved oxygen was about 210 ppm. The minnows were observed to be swimming near the bottom of the tank. After an additional twenty-four hours, the dissolved oxygen was 86 ppm. An additional 500 ppm amount of Composition B was then added. Thereafter, a reading for the dissolved oxygen could not be obtained because the dissolved oxygen was so high that the titration medium being used (sodium thiosulfate) kept turning black which prevented an accurate dissolved oxygen reading from being obtained. Even after six hours had passed and over 600 ppm of sodium thiosulfate had been used, a dissolved oxygen reading still could not be obtained.
