  • Patent number: 10407321
    Abstract: A centrifugal, liquid-liquid separator relies on a sweep flow in excess of the flow rate naturally occurring in the heavy constituent or species being separated out from a lighter species, in order to prevent access by the long-chain polymers of the lighter species to solids that may separate out and make a durable composition of polymers and particles that adheres and compacts against the shell wall of the centrifuge.

  • Patent number: 10239906
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for separating glycoglycerolipids and also glycoglycerolipids and glycosphingolipids from a lipid phase that contains glycoglycerolipids and acyl glycerides or glycoglycerolipids and glycosphingolipids and acyl glycerides, in mild conditions with no hydrolysis and while at the same time effectively depleting the lipid phase of said glycoglycerolipids, glycoglycerolipids and glycosphingolipids and their accompanying substances using an aqueous extraction process.
