  • Publication number: 20230321043
    Abstract: The present invention relates to c-di-GMP lowering chemical compounds having anti- biofilm properties. In particular, the present invention relates to anti-biofilm compounds or salts or tautomers thereof for use in treatment and/or prevention of bacterial biofilm infection in human subjects caused by biofilm-forming bacteria of the genus Pseudomonas, in particular Pseudomonas spp. including P. aeruginosa. Methods of treating such infections in human subjects are contemplated as well. The present inventions further relates to the use of an anti-biofilm compound or a salt or tautomer thereof for dispersing biofilms in industrial water systems.

  • Publication number: 20220361497
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling of a biofilm, for removing a formed biofilm and/or for controlling a growth of microorganisms, preferably bacteria, in an aqueous environment of an industrial manufacturing process comprising cellulosic fibre material. In the method a composition comprising a compound selected from a group consisting of 3-[(4-methylphenyl)sulphonyl]-2-propenenitrile and 4-amino-N-2-thiazolyl-benzenesulphonamide is administered to the aqueous environment of the process.

  • Publication number: 20220244128
    Abstract: A liquid leakage detector, LLD, configured to detect liquid leaking from a liquid containing/guiding element. The LLD comprises a pipe configured to receive liquid leaking from a predefined area of the liquid containing/guiding element and a sensor that detects liquid entering the pipe. The LLD comprises a first connection structure configured to be connected to and hereby bring the LLD into fluid communication with a first liquid transport structure of the liquid containing/guiding element, such that the first connection structure extends from and protrudes from the first liquid transport structure and a second connection structure configured to be connected to and hereby bring the LLD into fluid communication with a second liquid transport structure, such that the second connection structure extends from and protrudes from the second liquid transport structure. The LLD comprises an insulator arranged and configured to electrically separate the sensor from the liquid transport structures.
