Patent application number | Description | Published |
20090004712 | Drying apparatus and methods for ethanol production - The apparatus and methods disclosed herein relate to the production of dried co-products from stillage produced by an ethanol production facility. In various aspects, the apparatus and methods disclosed herein relate to an ethanol production facility that produces ethanol and stillage from grain, and a pulse combustion dryer in communication with the ethanol production facility to receive stillage therefrom and adapted to dry the stillage into a dried material | 01-01-2009 |
20090019720 | Pulse combustion dryer apparatus and methods - The present inventions relate to pulse combustion dryer apparatus and associated methods. The pulse combustion dryer apparatus may include a combustor that defines a combustion chamber that is in fluid communication with a tailpipe passage defined by a tailpipe. An air inlet communicates air into the combustion chamber through an air inlet passage. A fluid diode disposed within the air inlet passage allows airflow into the combustion chamber through the air inlet passage, and may generally prevent backflow of heated combustion products from the combustion chamber through the air inlet passage. | 01-22-2009 |
20090087452 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF VIRAL VACCINES - A viral vaccine in the dried state is described. Methods for drying viral vaccine in the liquid state into viral vaccine in the dried state are presented. The methods may include introducing the viral vaccine in the liquid state into a gas stream and recovering viral vaccine in the dried state from the gas stream. | 04-02-2009 |
20090269477 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR DRYING CONDENSED DISTILLER'S SOLUBLES (CDS) TO PRODUCE DRIED DISTILLER'S SOLUBLES (DDS) - Dried distiller's solubles is described. Methods for drying condensed distiller's solubles into dried distiller's solubles are presented. The methods may include introducing the condensed distiller's solubles into a drying gas stream and recovering dried distiller's solubles from the drying gas stream. | 10-29-2009 |
20110173835 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR DRYING CONDENSED DISTILLER'S SOLUBLES (CDS) TO PRODUCE DRIED DISTILLER'S SOLUBLES (DDS) - Dried distiller's solubles is described. Methods for drying condensed distiller's solubles into dried distiller's solubles are presented. The methods may include introducing the condensed distiller's solubles into a drying gas stream and recovering dried distiller's solubles from the drying gas stream. | 07-21-2011 |
