  • Patent number: 11414634
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing a unit-dose capsule which includes optionally forming the first film into the shape of a first cavity, supercooling a first component to a temperature at which the equilibrium state of the first component is a solid or semi-solid, dispensing the first component in a supercooled state into the first cavity, such that the first component gels to form at least one layer of gel adhered to and/or in contact with the first film, forming a second film into the shape of a second cavity, filling the second cavity with a second component, sealing the first film to the second film to form a sealed cavity having at least one chamber containing the first component and the second component. The method may further include wetting and perforating the first film. The unit-dose capsule includes the sealed container and the two components.

  • Patent number: 9279419
    Abstract: There is provided a process for controllably supplying a chemical agent to a flowing process fluid for effecting generation of treated flowing fluid comprising a chemical agent-derived fluid component material, wherein the chemical agent-derived fluid component material is derived from the chemical agent. The controllably supplying comprises: while discharging a chemical agent from a chemical agent supply system, modulating distribution of the chemical agent that is being discharged, between at least a flowing process fluid and a fluid bypass, with a chemical agent supply modulation system, in accordance with a system operating cycle, wherein the system operating cycle includes a single system supply mode and a single system bypass mode, and wherein the system bypass mode follows the system supply mode.
