20140045236 | METHOD AND SYSTEMS FOR ISOLATION AND/OR SEPARATION OF PRODUCTS FROM PRODUCTION PROCESSES - The present invention relates to separation of desired target products from biological, plant, and waste-type material, wherein the desired target products include renewable fuels such as ethanol, biobutanol, and biodiesel, wherein the separation is conducted with a cross-flow filtration system having the ability to separate desired products from both non-viscous and viscous medium. | 02-13-2014 |
20130236938 | BIODIESEL FUEL PRODUCTION, SEPARATION METHODS AND SYSTEMS - The present invention provides for a method for treatment of fats, oils and grease (FOG) for separation of target products and/or the efficient production of biodiesel while reducing disposal of solid or liquid waste matter into landfills or water treatment facilities. | 09-12-2013 |
20130212932 | SEPARATION SYSTEMS FOR DEWATERING OF FOG AND BIODIESEL FUEL PRODUCTION - The present invention provides for methods and systems that effectively separate dispersed FOG from emulsions and/or free-floating FOG from a waste stream to provide dewatered emulsions and/or separated fats, oils and greases from emulsions thereby providing value added separated product while reducing disposal of solid or liquid waste matter into landfills or water treatment facilities. | 08-22-2013 |
20130115588 | INTEGRATED BIOREACTOR AND SEPARATION SYSTEM AND METHODS OF USE THEROF - The present invention relates to methods and systems for culturing and purifying target substance(s), such as selected proteins, viruses, pathogenic bacteria, antibodies, antigens, clotting factors, glycoproteins, and hormones, from source liquids wherein the culturing and purification is effected in an integrated system including a bioreactor and at least one separation unit that functions under the control of a single operating system and provides for disposable components. | 05-09-2013 |
20130015119 | PORTABLE FILTRATION UNIT - The present invention relates to portable filtration units including filter components mated with retentate and permeate flow channels wherein particle containing solutions are introduced into the portable filtration units and contacted with the filter components for filtration thereby producing a retentate outflow and a permeate outflow for capture of desired end product. | 01-17-2013 |
20120205311 | OPTIMIZATION OF SEPARATION FOR VISCOUS SUSPENSIONS - The present invention relates to methods and systems for optimization of dilution of a viscous starting material to isolate and/or concentrate the product of interest from the starting source material such that the process minimizes the volume of diluent and the total volume of the waste stream generated during the process as well as maximizing the yield of desired product. The system employs cross-flow filtration modules with sub-channels that are equidistant to the inlet and outlet of said modules and such modules are characterized by optimal channel height, optimal transmembrane pressure, etc., which are selected in order to achieve the best combination of product quality and production yield. | 08-16-2012 |
