Non so come tradurre "we took over" in questo contesto.

"In US 6,878,499, 12 kJ is used for an amount of liquid of 40 mL (equipment VCX 750 Watt Ultrasonic Processor
from Sonics and Materials Inc). This amount of energy was introduced in a period of 10-12 minutes. This brings the total
amount of energy introduced per mL of liquid to 300 J/mL. We took over this amount of energy when applying the method
to our ultrasonic equipment."


"Abbiamo sostituito..."? "Abbiamo presto..."?

Grazie ;)
