| 20110189746 | Utilizing Waste Tail Gas From A Separation Unit Biogas Upgrade Systems As Beneficial Fuel - The invention relates to a method for utilizing low-quality tail gas derived from a pressure swing adsorption system or membrane system, which is used to upgrade biogas, as a beneficial fuel for the facility and/or digester boiler. | 08-04-2011 |
| 20110094378 | Oxygen Removal From Contaminated Gases - The invention relates to a method for achieving low oxygen levels in a natural gas stream without the use of a catalytic system. In one embodiment, the method comprises: membrane treatment for the removal of the bulk of CO | 04-28-2011 |
| 20100285460 | Biological Detection System and Method - The present disclosure, according to some embodiments, relates to phage-based biological detection systems, compositions, and methods. In some embodiments, it relates to a detection system and method using phage binding and bacterial infection to detect the presence of a target molecule (e.g., a toxin). One detection system may include a genetically engineered phage that expresses a surface molecule able to bind a target molecule and/or target microorganism; a bacterium susceptible to infection by the phage; and a detection component able to determine whether the bacterium has been infected by the phage. Infection of a bacterium by a phage may be indicative of phage binding to the target molecule and/or target microorganism. One method may include placing a sample suspected of containing the target molecule and/or target microorganism with a binder; adding a genetically engineered phage having reporter genetic material and able to bind the target molecule and/or target microorganism; washing away unbound phage; releasing phage bound to the target molecule and/or target microorganism; infecting a bacterium with the released phage; and detecting the presence of any reporter genetic material in the bacterium. Reporter material in the bacterium may correlate with target molecule and/or target microorganism in the sample. In some embodiments, the disclosure relates to a detection system and method using phage comprising a reporter to infect a microorganism (e.g., | 11-11-2010 |
