  • Method for creating white alkanes from non-petroleum renewable sources
    Patent number: 11866655
    Abstract: The present invention describes a method to produce high purity hydrocarbon materials from renewable sources. The produced materials are chemically indistinguishable from highly refined mineral oils and/or synthetic hydrocarbons. These renewable hydrocarbon materials can be used as a drop-in replacement for mineral and synthetic hydrocarbon base oils, process fluids, white oils in products such as lubricants, rubber, personal care, pharma.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 22, 2022
    Date of Patent: January 9, 2024
    Inventors: Alexander Panov, Luther Jones, Clayton Rozic, Tyler McIntyre, Samuel Shouse, Nicholas Venturino, Vittoria Lopopolo, Gregory B. Rowat

  • Biodegradable fluids
    Patent number: 11525100
    Abstract: The incorporation of highly refined, low viscosity index base oils along with a polymeric thickener produces a final readily biodegradable fluid with a significantly high viscosity. The present invention allows the formulation of a high viscosity readily biodegradable fluid where the vast majority of the fluid is mineral oil. Previous uses of mineral oils only allowed for formulation of substantially lower viscosity readily biodegradable fluids.
