  • Fat and protein removal from process streams
    Patent number: 6676840
    Abstract: The precipitation and removal of suspended fat and protein components and other suspended solids from a given solution can be accomplished by the addition of an aluminate to complex with the fat and protein components and the addition of a flocculating agent to flocculate the aluminate/fat and protein component complexes into insoluble particles capable of removal by conventional technology, which insoluble particles can be rendered to produce tallow.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 22, 2002
    Date of Patent: January 13, 2004
    Assignee: Power Engineering Company
    Inventors: Bryon J. Tarbet, Robert D. Hancock, Jeffrey W. Zidek
  • Organic waste removal from process streams
    Patent number: 6444128
    Abstract: The precipitation and removal of suspended organic containing particles, such as starch, and other suspended solids from a given solution can be accomplished by the addition of multivalent metal ions and their complexes in order to form metal ion/organic particle complexes and the addition of a flocculating agent to flocculate the metal ion/organic particle complexes into insoluble particles capable of removal by conventional technology.
