Abstract: Peroxyformic acid compositions for removal of biofilm growth and other contaminants and impurities from industrial processing hard surfaces are disclosed. In particular, peroxyformic acid compositions may be dosed on site and/or generated in situ for the reduction and prevention of biofilms on the hard surfaces. Methods of employing the peroxyformic acid compositions for removal of biofilm growth and other impurities such as aldehydes and alcohols from industrial CO2 effluent are also disclosed which beneficially provide ambient biofilm control and break down more rapidly than other peracids, allowing for extended runs between CIP cleaning, including a reduction and/or elimination of cleaning of the scrubbers and other industrial surfaces.

Abstract: The invention discloses cleaning compositions which employ a synergistic combination of an ester solvent, preferably a fatty acid methyl ester in combination with one or more linear alkyl amines. The alkyl amines act as to remove and suspend organic oils which have been burnt or adhered to a surface with heat and may even be used alone as a soil removal agent. The cleaning compositions have particular use in cleaning of distillation towers associated with biofuel, and vegetable oil refining, but also find use in cleaning ovens, food cooking surfaces and even dry cleaning.

Abstract: Stabilized peroxide-containing compositions stabilized with urea and urea/chelator stabilizer blends are provided. The compositions are particularly suitable for, but not limited to, cleaning applications on surfaces within food and beverage industries which may require the use of materials that are acceptable for incidental food/food products/feed contact. Further, the stabilized compositions are particularly suitable for applications requiring materials that are generally regarded as safe (GRAS) or for applications where non-GRAS materials must be minimized. Methods of stabilizing peroxide-containing compositions and methods of using the compositions are also provided.

Abstract: Stabilized peroxycarboxylic acid compositions and the solid supported peracid stabilizers are provided. Methods of producing the solid supported peracid stabilizers are provided. The solid supported peracid stabilizers and the stable peroxycarboxylic acid compositions are particularly suitable for use in sanitizing equipment and surfaces to reduce yeasts, spores and bacteria, including those having contact with food, food products and/or components thereof, which require or benefit from infection control suitable for direct contact with such food sources.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for cleaning industrial equipment (e.g. biofuel or corn ethanol plant equipment) in place at high temperatures using acidic methane sulfonic acid compositions having a low pH.

Abstract: A method for removing or preventing a microbial growth, biofilm, biomass and/or mineral deposit on a hard surface inside an SO2 scrubber is disclosed. In particular, biocide compositions may be dosed in pulse or continuously for the reduction and prevention of biofilms on the hard surfaces inside an SO2 scrubber. A biocide composition disclosed here uses one or more non-oxidizing biocides, especially a mixture of one or more quaternary ammonium compounds and one or more other biocides.

Abstract: Clean-in-place methods applicable to improve production of fermentation operations are disclosed herein to monitor, report, and control the cleaning reagents applied, residual components thereof, and clean-in-place conditions within levels that are compatible with fermentation processes, without limiting the effectiveness of the clean-in-place protocol with respect to cleaning or sanitizing the fermentation system.

Abstract: Certain booster compositions and methods of using the booster compositions to clean fermentation equipment are disclosed. The booster compositions are useful in environments with variable, changing, unstable, or limited alkalinity sources found within fermentation equipment.
