Patent Summary

Water-absorbing agent that maintains stable feed rate when fed through a specific type of positive displacement pump, even in humid environments. The agent achieves this through a correlation-based approach that optimizes parameters like bulk density, compressibility rate, angle of repose, and angle of difference for a particular feed system. The agent's unique properties enable precise control over flow characteristics, eliminating feed rate fluctuations typically associated with conventional agents.
