Abstract: Methods and systems for generating a highly energized fluid formula for use in tempering grains and other foodstuffs is described. The temper fluid described herein is capable of reducing pathogens and/or pesticide residues on grains and other foodstuffs. The tempering fluid may include chlorine dioxide with an oxidative carrier solution, and may further include carboxylic acids. The methods described herein may include an alkaline fluid pre-rinse prior to treatment of the grain with the energized fluid formula.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to formulations comprising an electrolyzed carrier fluid, optionally with an organic solvent and/or an additive. The formulations may be applied to in-situ and ex-situ hydrocarbon sources to recover or improve the hydrocarbon material.

Abstract: A method for electrolytically generating a biocide, including providing a brine solution carrier fluid; providing a vessel for creating a first passageway and a second passageway, flowing the carrier fluid through the vessel; applying an electric potential to the electrodes to produce an anolyte fluid, an anolyte gas, a catholyte fluid, and a catholyte gas in the vessel; removing the anolyte fluid, anolyte gas, catholyte fluid, and catholyte gas from the vessel; mixing a portion of the anolyte gas with the catholyte fluid to produce ozone gas and hypochlorite bleach mixture; re-circulating the ozone gas with the ozone gas and hypochlorite bleach mixture; mixing the anolyte fluid with the hypochlorite bleach solution; mixing a chlorite brine with the hypochlorite bleach solution to produce a chlorite brine/hypochlorite bleach solution mixture; and mixing the anolyte fluid with the chlorite brine/hypochlorite bleach solution mixture to the produce the biocide.

Abstract: A biocide, including from about 10 parts per million to about 1,000 parts per million of chlorine dioxide; hypochlorite; chlorite salt; and a buffer; wherein the biocide has a pH of from about 4 to about 10 and an oxidation/reduction potential of from about +700 to about +1,200 millivolts.

Abstract: A method for electrolytically generating a biocide having an electron deficient carrier fluid and chlorine dioxide, including providing a carrier fluid; providing a pair of electrodes interposed by a semi-permeable membrane within a vessel for creating a first passageway and a second passageway, an anode electrode of the pair of electrodes disposed in the first passageway, cathode electrode of the pair of electrodes disposed in the second passageway; flowing the carrier fluid through the vessel; applying an electric potential to the pair of electrodes to produce an oxidative acidic fluid, a reductive alkaline fluid, and anodic gases in the container; removing the fluids and gases from the vessel; mixing a portion of the anodic gases with the reductive alkaline fluid to produce a hypochlorite solution; and mixing a chlorite brine with the hypochlorite solution, followed by the introduction of additional oxidative acidic fluid to release the biocide.

Abstract: An electrolytic method for extracting components from subsurface strata including providing a carrier fluid; providing a pair of electrodes within a container, the container having a first outlet located proximal to a first electrode of the pair of electrodes and a second outlet located proximal to a second electrode of the pair of electrodes; flowing the carrier fluid through the container; applying a potential to the pair of electrodes to produce a first ionized carrier fluid and a second ionized carrier fluid in the container; removing the first ionized carrier fluid from the container through their respective outlets; injecting one of the first ionized carrier fluid and the second ionized carrier fluid into the subsurface strata to release the components; and recovering one of the first ionized carrier fluid and second ionized carrier fluid and components from the subsurface strata.
