Acidic cleaning agent. Scale 131 offshore is an effective, highly concentrated acidic cleaning agent for Cleaning in Place (CIP) operations at offshore water-borne systems that is mild to users, materials, and the environment. It is classified as PLONOR (Possess Little Or No Risk to the Environment). This product is composed of biodegradable Bio Gen Active® and fruit acids. Traditional corrosion inhibitors are hazardous and negatively impact the environment.
Manufactures sustainable and environmentally friendly ingredients with synthetic biology. This company uses sugarcane fermentation to convert basic plant sugars into rare bioidentical molecules, essential ingredients, and everyday products. They use a Lab-to-Market™ operating system to produce molecules that are bioidentical to those that exist in nature. They offer better performing ingredients at lower costs and unmatched speed and scale.
Hydrophobic ether solvent with applications in reactions, extraction, crystallization, polymerization, and coatings. CPME is a widely applicable replacement for Tetrahydrofuran (THF), Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE), Dioxane, and other solvents. CPME can be used in reactions, extractions, crystallizations, polymerizations, and coatings. CPME is hydrophobic and quick drying, functions at a wide range of temperatures, and has a low heat of vaporization and exothermic decomposition energy.
Immobilization matrix for the immobilization of enzymes. Biocatalysts allow reactions with milder and safer conditions, high regioselectivity, and enantioselectivity. Enzyme immobilizations enable the recycling of enzymes, increase process efficiency, and reduce enzyme-removal steps. It also increases selectivity, stability, and activity and restricts enzyme movements, protecting the biocatalysts from harsh conditions. This product immobilizes enzymes on the surface without losing activity, facilitating the purification of the catalyst.
Slicker Recycling, a waste oil collection company, uses Hydrodec's hydrogenation refining technology to re-refine used and contaminated waste oil. This company applies proprietary technology to re-refine used and contaminated waste oil to produce high-quality industrial oils for reuse. The technology removes detectable levels of PCBs from used transformer oil. The high-quality industrial oils produced include emission-free and cost-effective SUPERFINE™ transformer oil and naphthenic base oil. The process is highly efficient, with a recovery rate of 99% and near zero emissions.
Bio-based, multipurpose solvent. Cyrene™ is a bio-based solvent that outperforms toxic, petroleum-based solvents. Cyrene™ is a sustainable and superior alternative to toxic solvents such as NMP and DMF. Cyrene™ has been proven to outperform NMP and DMF in 20-30% of applications trialled to date. This solvent is low-toxic, environmentally benign, biodegradable, biocompatible, recyclable, circular, scalable, and bio-based with low water usage and low carbon emissions. During decomposition, there are no harmful NOx and SOx emissions.
Liquid bromine-based antimicrobial. This stable liquid bromine-based antimicrobial is safer and easier to apply than traditional chlorine or other solid bromine-based products. These conventional products are highly volatile, reactive, and hazardous. The use of liquid makes this novel product easy to feed and control. It has better performance at high pH, is more persistent than chlorine, and has fewer reactions with organic contaminants. The product also has low volatility, resulting in lower halogen feed rates, less odor, better tower fill fouling prevention, and lower air emissions.
Producing phenol from waste nitrous oxide. The adipic acid manufacturing process produces large amounts of nitrous oxide gas as waste. Nitrous oxide gas has high global warming potential and contributes to the depletion of the ozone layer. This process takes waste nitrous oxide gas and reuses it as a reagent in hydroxylating benzene to phenol. This reduces nitrous oxide gas waste and reduces the raw materials involved in phenol production.
Polyester polyols made from byproduct of the phtahlic anhydride process. Byproducts from the phthalic anhydride process are usually disposed by incineration. Using these byproducts to manufacture polyester polyols reduces waste and its associated environmental impacts.
Economic production of 100% renewable chemicals and second-generation advanced biofuels from any cellulosic waste stream. This company converts lignocellulose to levulinic acid. The cellulosic waste feedstock consists of woody biomass, municipal solid waste, cellulosic crops, and recycled paper and cardboard. Levulinic acid is versatile and has the potential for downstream derivative production, such as biofuels and renewable chemicals.
