Abstract: The invention encompasses formulations and methods for the production thereof that permit the delivery of concentrated protein solutions. The inventive methods can yield a lower viscosity liquid protein formulation or a higher concentration of therapeutic or nontherapeutic proteins in the liquid formulation, as compared to traditional protein solutions. The inventive methods can also yield a higher stability of a liquid protein formulation.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for improving a parameter of a protein-related process comprising providing a viscosity-reducing excipient compound selected from the group consisting of hindered amines, anionic aromatics, functionalized amino acids, oligopeptides, short-chain organic acids, and low molecular weight aliphatic polyacids, and adding a viscosity-reducing amount of the viscosity-reducing excipient compound to a carrier solution for the protein-related process, wherein the carrier solution contains a protein of interest, and carrier solutions comprising a liquid medium in which is dissolved a protein of interest, and a viscosity-reducing excipient, wherein the viscosity of the carrier solution has a lower viscosity that that of a control solution that is substantially similar to the carrier solution except for the presence of the viscosity-reducing excipient.

Abstract: A ground water contamination remediation process includes the steps of identifying a source and location of land-based ground water contamination and excavating the soil above and within the location of the contamination to create a void. The width and depth of the void is increased to a predetermined size until the contaminated ground water is exposed creating a man-made treatment lake by allowing the contaminated ground water to partially fill the void. In one embodiment, the water in the treatment lake is aerated to reduce the amounts of hydrogen sulfide, methane, and biodegradable compounds in the contaminated water. In another embodiment, an adsorbent material is added to the treatment lake so to isolate per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The adsorbent material is applied to or mixed into PFAS contaminated water, PFAS is adsorbed, and the solid adsorbent materials settle to the bottom of the lake for subsequent management or removal.
