A diluted solution production method of the present invention is a diluted solution production method of producing a diluted solution of a second liquid by adding the second liquid a first liquid, the method including feeding the first liquid to a first pipe; and controlling pressure in a tank that stores the second liquid to add, through the second pipe that connects the tank to the first pipe, the second liquid to the first liquid in the first pipe. Adding the second liquid includes measuring a flow rate of the first liquid or the diluted solution that flows through the first pipe; measuring a component concentration of the diluted solution; and controlling the pressure in the tank, based on the measured values of the flow rate and the component concentration, so as to adjust the component concentration of the diluted solution to a specified value.

An apparatus and method to convert high resistivity (18 MOhm/cm) deionized water into lower resistivity deionized water with a tight resistivity range (150 KOhm/cm+\50 KOhm/cm) without adding metals to the DI. The invention discreetly injects carbon dioxide in an on demand fashion through a metals free fluid path.

A fluid mixer device that automates the mixing of multiple fluids into a base liquid and the delivery of the mixed liquid according to user-specified parameters with automatic flush-out, full logging and reporting capabilities. The device is comprised of a plurality of modules, each of which is designed for a different environmental setting: (a) the control module, the module with which the user interfaces, is normally located in a dry area, away from both line voltage electricity and fluids; (b) the power module, which supplies power to all modules, is located near 110 V-230 V single phase line voltage, and thus contains all of the high-voltage gear and interfaces; and (c) the flow module, the bank of controlled liquid mixers, is located in the wet area and uses only low-voltage direct current in its operation.

A preparation apparatus includes a first tank, a second tank, a preparation tank, and a computer having a hardware processor. The first tank contains a first liquid. The second tank contains a second liquid having a lower viscosity than the first liquid. The preparation tank stirs the first liquid supplied from the first tank and the second liquid supplied from the second tank to prepare a preparation liquid. The hardware processor measures a viscosity of the first liquid based on a supply time required to supply a specified amount of the first liquid at a constant pressure from the first tank to the preparation tank, and supplies an amount of the second liquid to the preparation tank based on the measured viscosity of the first liquid so as to cause the preparation liquid to have a target viscosity.
