The present invention relates to a method and an arrangement for dissolving starch. Specifically, the present invention relates to a method for dissolving starch by introducing mechanical force to at least partially gelatinized aqueous starch.

Embodiments of the present application relate to batches of bupivacaine multivesicular liposomes (MVLs) prepared by a commercial manufacturing process using independently operating dual tangential flow filtration modules.

A mixing and dispensing device and method. In particular, the device used by the applied method reduces the risk of chlorine gas formation while providing a stable, effective and safe disinfectant in the form of a hypochlorous add and sodium hypochlorite mixture. The mixing and dispensing device includes a highly concentrated disinfectant and dilutes the concentrate through the device while simultaneously mixing the concentrate with a dilute solution of an organic acid. The two diluted solutions are mixed without production of chlorine gas and to a level of safety before being dispensed to produce the stable, effective and safe neutral pH sodium hypochlorite solution disinfectant in the form of a hypochlorous add and sodium hypochlorite mixture. The mixing and dispensing device can be in the form of a kit for retrofitting into institutions or isolated, remote areas in need thereof or for off the shelf use in the home.

A fluid handling apparatus for ejecting fluid into a tank and draining fluid from the tank comprises: a fluid duct for draining/supplying fluid from/to the tank, the fluid duct configured for fluid communication with a tank opening at a tank bottom; a fluid inlet pipe for supplying fluid to the tank, the fluid inlet pipe extending at least partly through the fluid duct and configured to extend through the tank opening into the tank; a rotary fluid ejection device in fluid communication with the fluid inlet pipe; and a rotary drive shaft extending at least partly inside the fluid inlet pipe, the rotary drive shaft being rotatably connected to the rotary fluid ejection device. Also disclosed is a fluid tank system comprising a tank and a fluid handling apparatus, and a method for mixing beer or wort with solid hops material in a tank by a fluid handling apparatus.

In a method for producing an oil-in-water emulsion, a jet of an oil-in-water pre-emulsion (L1) containing an oil phase dispersed in a first aqueous phase is added to a second aqueous phase (L2).

The present invention relates to compositions and methods for manufacturing an adjuvant comprising a saponin using a microfluidic device and to aspects thereof.

Embodiments of the present disclosure include suspensions for use in enhanced oil recovery, and methods of using the suspensions for recovering oil. Suspensions of the present disclosure include a nonionic surfactant that can dissolve in supercritical carbon dioxide, and a metal salt having a concentration of 200 to 1 parts-per-million.

A process is provided for preparing an aqueous emulsion of an amino-functional polyorganosiloxane. The process includes mixing A) an amino-functional polyorganosiloxane, B) a non-ionic surfactant, and C) water; and thereafter mixing in additional starting materials including additional water, D) a water soluble salt, E) a pH adjusting agent, and F) a preservative. A phase inversion occurs during the process, such that the resulting emulsion has A) the amino-functional polyorganosiloxane in the internal, discontinuous phase and C) the water in an external, continuous phase.
