  • Patent number: 9657398
    Abstract: Compositions for inhibiting the corrosion of metals in contact with an aqueous system are provided. The corrosion inhibiting compositions may be used to maintain effective amounts of (1) an amino acid-based polymer, such as a polyaspartic acid compound, and (2) a dispersible and/or soluble tin compound in the aqueous system. The corrosion inhibiting compositions include the amino acid-based polymer and a dispersible and/or soluble tin compound and may optionally include a polycarboxylic acid chelating agent and/or a carboxylate/sulfonate functional copolymer.

  • Publication number: 20170137851
    Abstract: The present inventors have surprisingly discovered that phytic acid tenaciously precipitates with soluble metals in food or fuel ethanol-processing fluid, producing insoluble organometallic salt deposit or scale on the processing equipment that must be removed in order to facilitate further ethanol processing. The present invention relates to converting phytic acid salts or phytates to inorganic phosphates to improve metal solubility and reduce deposition within processing equipment.

  • Patent number: 9290850
    Abstract: Methods for inhibiting the corrosion of metals in contact with an aqueous system are provided. The method of inhibiting corrosion includes maintaining effective amounts of (1) an amino acid-based polymer, such as a polyaspartic acid compound, and (2) a dispersible and/or soluble tin compound in the aqueous system. The corrosion inhibiting components of the treatment may be added simultaneously or separately into the water of the aqueous system, i.e., provided either in a single treatment product or as separate products. Such a corrosion inhibiting method may optionally also include adding a polycarboxylic acid chelating agent and/or a carboxylate/sulfonate functional copolymer to the aqueous system.

  • Publication number: 20040161846
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a method for the in vitro or in vivo production, by a eukaryotic host cell, of a protein from a negative sense single stranded RNA virus and, more particularly, to a method for the in vitro or in vivo production by a eukaryotic host cell of a protein from a virus of the family Paramyxoviradae and agents identified thereby. Still more particularly, said protein is the F, N, P or SH protein, the encoding nucleic acid molecule of which has been optimised for expression in a eukaryotic host cell. In yet another aspect, the present invention relates to a method for modulating the functional activity of an F protein. More particularly, said modulation is predicated on modulation of the functioning of a novel intrasequence cleavage event.
