Publication number: 20240090521Abstract: Systems and methods for filtering dairy may filter milk with a wide-pore filter to produce a wide-pore retentate and a wide-pore permeate, wherein the wide-pore retentate may comprise casein and beta-lactoglobulin. The systems and methods may further ultra-filter the wide-pore permeate to produce an ultra-filtered retentate and an ultra-filtered permeate, wherein the ultra-filtered retentate comprises alpha-lactalbumin. The systems and methods may further nano-filter the ultra-filtered permeate to produce a nano-filtered retentate and a nano-filtered permeate, wherein the nano-filtered retentate comprises lactose. The systems and methods may further perform reverse osmosis (RO) on the nano-filtered permeate to produce a reverse osmosis retentate and a reverse osmosis permeate.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Sara A. Dorland, Bjorn Sorensen

Publication number: 20240077057Abstract: A method for starting a wind turbine with hinged wind turbine blades, the wind turbine further comprising an adjustable biasing mechanism arranged to apply an adjustable biasing force to each wind turbine blade which biases the wind turbine blade towards a position defining a minimum pivot angle. The biasing mechanism is adjusted to apply a predefined biasing force to each wind turbine blade, and the pivot angle of each wind turbine blade is monitored. The wind turbine is started in the case that the pivot angle of at least one wind turbine blade exceeds a predefined pivot angle threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2020Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Thomas S. Bjertrup NIELSEN, Peter Bjorn ANDERSEN, Soren DALSGAARD, Kim Hylling SORENSEN
