Abstract:

The present invention relates to the use of deactivatable biocides in cooling water systems of industrial processes that require dissipation of heat. The present invention relates to methods of inhibiting growth and reproduction of microorganisms in the cooling water comprising adding the deactivatable biocides to the cooling water and irreversibly deactivating the deactivatable biocides before or upon disposal of the cooling water.

US Classification:

585 1, 208 17, 518700, 210764

Abstract:

The present invention relates to methods of inhibiting growth and reproduction of microorganisms in rapidly biodegradable hydrocarbonaceous products, containing minor amounts of aqueous liquids. The present invention also relates to rapidly biodegradable hydrocarbonaceous products containing an effective amount of a petroleum-derived hydrocarbonaceous product such that the rapidly biodegradable hydrocarbonaceous product resists visible growth of microorganisms.

US Classification:

114/125000

Abstract:

The present invention relates to the use of deactivatable biocides in ballast water aboard a vessel. The present invention relates to methods of limiting the transfer of one or more life forms via ballast water comprising mixing an effective amount of the deactivatable biocide with the ballast water and irreversibly deactivating the deactivatable biocides before or upon discharge of the ballast water.

Abstract:

The present invention relates to the use of deactivatable biocides for hydrocarbonaceous products, in particular, rapidly biodegradable hydrocarbonaceous products. The present invention also relates to methods of inhibiting growth and reproduction of microorganisms in hydrocarbonaceous products, in particular, in rapidly biodegradable hydrocarbonaceous products, containing minor amounts of aqueous liquids. The deactivatable biocides of the present invention may be derived from a Fischer-Tropsch process.

Appl. No.:

7/834752

Inventors:

Kirk T. O'Reilly - El Sobrante CA
John P. Suzuki - Pinole CA

International Classification:

B01D 1500
C02F 128

US Classification:

210656

Abstract:

Specific toxicants are selectively removed from aqueous waste streams associated with the production of petroleum and petroleum products by contacting such aqueous waste streams with a non-ionic macroreticular polymeric resin having a low to intermediate surface polarity. The toxicants are a group of structurally-related organic molecules containing at least one carboxylic acid group and having a molecular weight in the range of about 200 to about 400. These molecules are toxic to certain indicator species of fish at concentrations of less than 10 parts per billion.
