Publication number: 20230211388Abstract: Pulse dosing is used to administer a cleaning formulation into a fluid process stream flowing through structural components of a processing facility. The fluid process stream may contain corn, corn-derived products, or a combination thereof, or the fluid process stream may contain a process condensate, a rinse fluid, a cleaning fluid or any combination thereof. The processing facility may be an ethanol processing plant, a protein processing plant, a corn oil processing plant, an ethanol and corn oil processing plant, an ethanol and protein processing plant, or an ethanol, corn oil and protein processing plant. Pulse dosing may include administering the cleaning formulation into the fluid process stream for a period of x seconds every y minutes, with no administration of the cleaning formulation between the periods of x seconds.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 23, 2023Publication date: July 6, 2023Applicant: Phibro Animal Health CorporationInventor: David Fowlie

Patent number: 7371787Abstract: A treated wood-based composite is formed by treating a green wood furnish with an amount of a treating agent effective to increase the value of the resulting wood-based composite. The treating agent can be, for example, a fire retardant, a wood preservative, a dye, a pigment, a stain, bleach, a water repellant, a drying oil, or a combination thereof. The treated green wood furnish is blended with a binder and then bound, as by pressing the furnish, to form a non-leaching fire-retardant wood based composite. Another aspect of the invention is the product formed according to the preceding process. The addition of the treating agent to green wood chips, without the need to dry them to low moisture content, is believed to be novel.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2003Date of Patent: May 13, 2008Assignee: Viance, LLCInventors: Alan F. Preston, David A. Fowlie, Kevin J. Archer

Patent number: 6569540Abstract: The invention is a wood composite including wood particles, a binder, at least one wood stabilizer, and optionally other ingredients. Examples of the wood stabilizer are an ammoniacal wood stabilizer or ammoniacal copper dimethyl glyoxime. The wood stabilizer is present in an amount effective to reduce the swelling value of the wood composite to less than that of an analogous wood composite not treated with the wood stabilizer. A method for making wood composites and the product of that method are also disclosed. The method includes providing green wood particles and applying to them a wood stabilizer as described above, preferably without an intervening drying step. It is contemplated that the wood stabilizer can be applied in an amount effective to at least substantially preserve the resulting wood composite against at least one of rot, termites, and carpenter ants. While or after applying the stabilizer, a water repellant material is applied to the wood particles.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2000Date of Patent: May 27, 2003Assignee: Chemical Specialties, Inc.Inventors: Alan F.
