The circulation sub is operable to selectively permit fluid communication between the interior fluid conduit and the exterior of the dynamically controlled drill string at the circulation sub. The circulation sub is operable to selectively permit fluid communication through the internal fluid conduit at the circulation sub. A method for using the dynamically controlled drill string in a well bore includes the steps of introducing the dynamically controlled drill string into the well bore and introducing fluid operable to modify a detected downhole conditions into the well bore. | 07-04-2013 |

20100015660 | Production of Recombiant Products Using Capillary Membranes - The invention provides for a method of producing at least one recombinant product under aerated conditions. The method includes providing a porous substrate having a first side and a second side and which has a biofilm of microorganisms attached to the first side thereof, the substrate being configured to allow passage of a nutrient solution therethrough and to prevent the passage of microorganism cells therethrough. The method further includes causing a nutrient solution to flow through the substrate and the biofilm in a direction from the second side thereof to the first side thereof under aerated conditions, at a rate which is sufficiently low for a nutrient gradient having a concentration differential to be established across the biofilm, and the microorganisms being induced to produce recombinant product. | 01-21-2010 |
20100021990 | HIGH THROUGHPUT BIOPROCESS APPARATUS - The invention relates to a multiple bioreactor system comprising a plurality of bioreactors, a source of pressurised fluid, and distribution means for distributing the fluid to the bioreactors, wherein the bioreactor system includes backpressure creating means presented by, before or after each bioreactor and the source of pressurised fluid such that each backpressure creating means provides a resistance to the flow of the pressurised fluid which is greater than the resistance to flow between each backpressure creating means. The invention further relates to A method of operating a multiple bioreactor system comprising providing a plurality of bioreactors, a source of pressurised fluid, and distribution means for distributing the fluid to the bioreactors, wherein the bioreactor system includes backpressure creating means presented by each bioreactor or located between each bioreactor and the source of pressurised fluid such that each backpressure creating means provides a resistance to the flow of the pressurised fluid which is greater than the resistance to flow between each backpressure creating means and operating the system. | 01-28-2010 |
20100159555 | PRODUCTION OF SECONDARY METABOLITES USING CAPILLARY MEMBRANES - The invention provides methods of producing secondary metabolites and under recombinant products oxygen-limited or anaerobic culture conditions. The methods include providing a porous substrate having a first side and a second side and which has a biofilm of microorganisms attached to the first side thereof, and causing a nutrient solution to flow through the biofilm and the substrate in a direction from the first side thereof to the second side thereof under oxygen-limited or anaerobic culture conditions. The microorganisms include | 06-24-2010 |
