Abstract: Methods, systems, and compositions for clarifying drilling mud are provided. A method of clarifying drilling mud includes at least: mixing a hydrophilic solution and an effluent; the effluent comprising an oil lubricant and solid particles; binding the solid particles to the hydrophilic solution; separating the oil lubricant from the solid particles; and recovering the oil lubricant. A system includes at least: a mixing tank for mixing a hydrophilic solution and an effluent, the effluent comprising an oil lubricant and solid particles, and creating a mixture; and a centrifuge connected to the mixing tank, the centrifuge being capable of receiving the mixture and separating the hydrophilic solution, the solid particles, and the oil lubricant, and discharging the separated oil lubricant. A composition for clarifying drilling mud includes at least: a homogeneous mix of at least one hydrophilic substance.

Abstract: A system and method for preparation of meat flavorants, and flavorants, having increased flavor and aromatic intensity and which more closely resemble the natural flavor and aroma of cooked meat. Preheated edible, food grade oils and fats are exposed to temperatures between 290° C. and 475° C. under vacuum, in the presence of oxygen. The developing flavor vapors are immediately and completely removed from the heated oils and fats. The mixture of air-purge/flavor-vapor is immediately carried away from the heat transfer surface of the edible oil or fat. An evaporator, preferably a spinning disc, spinning band or thin film evaporator, without a condenser is used as process equipment. The air-purged flavor-vapors are diffused and absorbed in an absorption device into suitable food-grade liquids.

Abstract: Processes and systems are provided with a hydrophilic liquid or solution for clarifying drilling mud to separate diesel oil or other oil lubricants out from the drilling mud such that the diesel oil or other oil lubricants may be recycled to a well for reuse as a lubricant for drilling components, such as a drilling bit. The hydrophilic liquid or solution may be recovered and reused/recycled in the processes and/or systems as well.

Abstract: Meat extract (warm and/or cold blooded animal) having a protein content of at least about 50% or greater and is substantially fluid or pourable at ambient temperature of about 15-25 degrees C. or more. The meat extract may have a viscosity ranging between about 1000 cP to no more than about 40000 cP for temperatures of about 20-80 degrees C. The meat extract may have a protein content of at least about 50%-about 70% with an extract moisture content of about 25%-40%, and a salt content of less than about 5%, e.g., less than 1%. The protein may have a minimum of about 22% of total essential amino acids, e.g., about 3.0% of L-Leucine and/or about 0.2% of L-Tryptophan. Also disclosed is a process of manufacturing a meat extract by extracting meat with water and at least one enzyme, e.g., a proteolytic enzyme, e.g., at least one endopeptidase (amino-endopeptidase and/or at least one carboxy-endopeptidase) and/or at least one exopeptidase, e.g.

Abstract: A method for extracting soy protein from soy flour is provided. Soy flour is added to acidified water so that, immediately upon addition of the soy flour, the water will be in the iso-electric range of soy protein and the soy protein will be usable to enter solution but the soluble fraction of the soy flour will enter solution.
