  • Method for recovering intracellular components from fermented microorganisms
    Patent number: 9593067
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the recovery of intracellular components of materials of a biological origin, such as yeasts, algae, bacteria and/or mildews, after fermentation/cultivation, which comprises a thermal lysing treatment via nebulization and the use of a nebulization solvent capable of extracting said intracellular components once the nebulization has been completed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 11, 2013
    Date of Patent: March 14, 2017
    Assignee: ENI S.p.A.
    Inventors: Roberta Miglio, Alfredo Montini

  • Method for the remote detection, localization and monitoring of critical faults in pipelines
    Patent number: 8381593
    Abstract: With a certain pipeline, either underground or deposited on a sea/lake bottom, the formation of critical faults is determined and localized, which arise in the walls of the pipeline, or the growth of an already localized fault is monitored, through a method which detects, by acoustic sensors regularly distributed along the pipeline, the ultrasounds diffused along the walls of the pipeline itself upon the formation of a critical fault, or when a controlled fault increases, and processing, by a remote processor, the digital signals associated with the sound waves to identify the position or evaluate the development of a critical fault.
