Abstract: A composition for decontaminating biological pathogens and a system and method for mixing and applying the composition to contaminated sites are presented. The composition of the invention is suitable for the decontamination of biological warfare agents, including bacillus anthracis, and is suited for wide area or large surface decontamination. In one or more embodiments, the composition includes a blend of biocides, surfactants, a basing component. In one or more embodiments, the composition additionally includes a protein and/or an enzyme. In one or more embodiments, the composition includes a foam forming material for effective application over large surfaces. In one or more embodiments, the composition is mixed on-site from a plurality of pre-mixed components to form a foam composition for application to a chemically or biologically contaminated site.

Abstract: A composition comprising manganese oxide and a promoter, wherein at least a portion of the promoter is present as a reduced valence promoter and methods of preparing such composition are disclosed. The thus-obtained composition is employed in a desulfurization zone to remove sulfur from a hydrocarbon stream.

Abstract: A fire suppression apparatus for mixing a first fluid, such as water, with a second fluid, such as foam, to be delivered through a fluid delivery line. A ratio controller is disposed within the delivery line and includes a first restriction area through which the first fluid passes, and that also accepts the second fluid. A fluid control mechanism is connected to the ratio controller, and includes a second restriction area. The fluid control mechanism delivers the second fluid to be mixed with the first fluid in the delivery line. A pressure sensing module measures the pressures of the first and second fluids. A control computer processes the pressures measured from the pressure sensing module, and maintains the pressure of the second fluid equal to the pressure from the first fluid. The first restriction area and the second restriction area define a ratio that determines a flow amount of the second fluid.
