A system and method for degumming oil is used to increase oil yield and reduce impurities such as phosphorus. An oil feedstock, water and enzyme mixture is passed through a high shear mixing device prior to being fed to an agitated reactor equipped with a recirculation system. The recirculation system includes a second high shear mixing device that further mixes the oil mixture in the reactor during processing. The reacted mixture is discharged from the reactor to a downstream post-reaction system for separating the degummed oil from the reacted mixture. The separation step can be used to remove the phosphatides and other impurities from the reacted oil to form a purified oil product.

Method of dynamic mixing of fluids

Номер: US8746965B2
Автор: David Livshits, Lester Teichner
Принадлежит: TURBULENT ENERGY LLC

Methods are provided for achieving dynamic mixing of two or more fluid streams using a mixing device. The methods include providing at least two integrated concentric contours that are configured to simultaneously direct fluid flow and transform the kinetic energy level of the first and second fluid streams, and directing fluid flow through the at least two integrated concentric contours such that, in two adjacent contours, the first and second fluid streams are input in opposite directions. As a result, the physical effects acting on each stream of each contour are combined, increasing the kinetic energy of the mix and transforming the mix from a first kinetic energy level to a second kinetic energy level, where the second kinetic energy level is greater than the first kinetic energy level.

Methods for encapsulation of actives within droplets and other compartments

Номер: US09878299B2
Автор: Alireza ABBASPOURRAD, Chang-Hyung Choi, David A Weitz, John Christopher Wesner, Marco Caggioni, Taotao Zhu
Принадлежит: Harvard College, Procter and Gamble Co

The present invention generally relates to microparticles and, in particular, to systems and methods for encapsulation within microparticles. In one aspect, the present invention is generally directed to microparticles containing entities therein, where the entities contain an agent that can be released from the microparticles, e.g., via diffusion. In some cases, the agent may be released from the microparticles without disruption of the microparticles. The entities may be, for instance, polymeric particles, hydrogel particles, droplets of fluid, etc. The entities may be contained within a fluid that is, in turn, encapsulated within the microparticle. The agent may be released from the entity into the fluid, and then from the fluid through the microparticle. In such fashion, the release of agent from the microparticle may be controlled, e.g., over relatively long time scales. Other embodiments of the present invention are generally directed to methods of making such microparticles, methods of using such microparticles, microfluidic devices for making such microparticles, and the like.

An injection system may include a first hollow pipe through which a first fluid flows and a second hollow pipe through which a second fluid flows, the first fluid for mixing into the second fluid. The second hollow pipe may reside through a wall of the first hollow pipe and have an opening near its end that is near a centerline of the first hollow pipe. A longitudinal baffle may reside within the second hollow pipe and together with the second hollow pipe, define a first and second baffle flow path within the second hollow pipe for the second fluid. A transverse baffle may be attached to the longitudinal baffle to protrude into the opening of the second hollow pipe. The transverse baffle divides the opening into a first baffle flow outlet and a second baffle flow outlet, for the first baffle flow path and the second baffle flow path.
