20110052656 | METHOD FOR CONTROLLING MICROBIAL BIOFILM IN AQUEOUS SYSTEMS - A process has been found which increases the efficiency and effectiveness of introducing antimicrobial compounds into complex biofilm matrices through the use of liposome carriers, thereby removing the biofouling in industrial water bearing systems, including piping, heat exchanges, condensers, filtration systems and fluid storage tanks. According to one embodiment of the invention, antimicrobial compound containing liposomes are added to water systems prone to biofouling and biofilm formation. The liposomes, being similar in composition to microbial membranes or cells, are readily incorporated into the existing biofilm. Once the antimicrobial compound containing liposomes become entrained with the biofilm matrix, the decomposition or programmed disintegration of the liposome proceeds. Thereafter, the biocidal aqueous core is released to react directly with the biofilm encased microorganisms. Upon the death of the organisms, the polysaccharide/protein matrix decomposes and thereby results in reduced fouling of the water bearing system, resulting in increased heat transfer, increased flux, less deposit of colloidal and particulate solids and dissolved organics on the surface of the microfiltration membrane, thereby reducing the frequency and duration of the membrane cleaning and ultimate replacement. | 03-03-2011 |

20110052655 | METHODS AND VESICLES FOR CONTROLLING PROTOZOA - A method for controlling protozoa trophozoites and cysts wherein one or more biocides or non-biocidal agents are encapsulated within a micro-capsule or nano-capsule and then introduced into an aqueous system. The micro-capsule or nano-capsule has an exterior composition adapted for digestion by the protozoa. A vesicle for controlling protozoa trophozoites and cysts is also provided. | 03-03-2011 |
