  • Patent number: 9072803
    Abstract: To allow uniform and efficient sterilization of facilities selected from clean rooms, cell processing centers for human use (CPCs), medical-supply-manufacturing facilities, animal-rearing facilities (SPF animals), biohazard rooms, food processing facilities, and medical facilities, where walls, floors, ceilings, device surfaces, and spaces, including equipment interiors, can be sterilized while minimizing effects such as corrosion and using the smallest amount of chemical agent as possible, and whereby sterilization can be carried out without problems with residual toxicity and without the need for wiping operations subsequent to sterilization. In addition, an operator can initiate, monitor, and control sterilization from outside the sterilization zone and thus respond to unexpected circumstances such as damage to a sprayer during a sterilization operation.

  • Publication number: 20130045321
    Abstract: The invention provides an inexpensive liquid oil having both particularly high liquid properties and oxidation stability and a solid fat containing a large amount of PPP at high yield, from inexpensive palm based oil and fat as a raw material. A palm based oil and fat containing saturated fatty acids in an amount of 70% wt or less based on the amount of constituent fatty acids are used as a main raw material, the palm based oil and fat are direct-transesterified until the oil and fat obtain an SSS/S2U ratio of 0.5 or more and an S2U content of 14% wt or less, while keeping the SSS content at 31% wt or less during the reaction, and then a liquid oil and a solid fat are separated.
