Abstract: An apparatus is provided for cleaning poultry carcasses having a cavity. A plurality of cleaning heads are spaced about a sprayer carousel that is rotatably mounted upon a vertical shaft. The cleaning heads are mounted upon a plurality of vertically oriented guide rails which are spaced about the sprayer carousel. A circumferential cam is fixedly connected to the vertical shaft inside the sprayer carousel. A cam follower connected to each cleaning head follows the profile of the cam, displacing the cleaning head vertically along the guide rails. A conveyor transports the carcasses sequentially into and out of engagement with the sprayer carousel and an indexing member maintains each of the carcasses in alignment with one of the cleaning heads. In response to relative movement between the fixed cam and the rotatable sprayer carousel the cam follower of each cleaning head follows the circumferential profile of the cam.

Abstract: A process for forming a hydrophobically modified water soluble or water dispersible polymer by utilizing a micellar polymerization technique comprising the steps of: (1) providing a reaction medium including one or more water soluble or water dispersible monomers and one or more surface active agents or protective colloids; (2) incrementally adding one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers having hydrophobic properties to said reaction medium; (3) initiating polymerization of said one or more water soluble or water dispersible monomers with said one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers having hydrophobic properties; and (4) continuing polymerization of said one or more water soluble or water dispersible monomers with said one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers having hydrophobic properties while incrementally adding said one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers having hydrophobic properties to said reaction medium is provided.

Abstract: Phosphate is recovered from waste. Trialkali metal orthophosphate used to reduce, remove or retard bacterial contamination during raw meat slaughter including poultry, fish and shellfish and red meat evisceration is recovered from an aqueous waste and recycled as a food additive for animal feed. The waste water containing the phosphate can be collected and mixed with offal during processing of the offal or may be concentrated and blended with the offal as feed for animals or may be reacted with an alkaline earth metal salt and concentrated and used as a calcium and phosphate supplement for animal feed. Trisodium orthophosphate is reacted with calcium chloride and the resulting precipitate removed from the aqueous stream by filtration or centrifugation or other means for separation. The precipitate is then added to offal during processing for animal feed or dried sterilized and sold as an animal feed mineral supplement.

Abstract: Increased foam quality and resistance to hydrocarbon defoaming for foams used in well boring and stimulation processes as well as secondary and tertiary oil recovery is obtained using imidazoline-based amphoacetates of higher purity, containing essentially negligible amounts of unalkylated amido amines, lower amounts of glycolic acid salts and monochloroacetate salts.The higher purity amphoacetates can be obtained via processes utilizing precise pH control during the reaction of imidazoline, or its open-chain derivatives, with alkylating agents, e.g. sodium monochloroacetate. These higher-purity amphoacetates contain essentially fully alkylated products and lower amounts of glycolic acid derivatives, even though a ratio of monohaloalkylate to substituted imidazoline, or its open-ring derivative, of less than 1.5:1.0 and close to 1.0:1.0 is used.
