20110008876 | METHOD FOR THE TREATMENT OF GROUND WATER AND SOILS USING MIXTURES OF SEAWEED AND KELP - The induction of reducing conditions and stimulating anaerobic process through the addition of species of seaweed (Dulse, Nori, | 01-13-2011 |
20140251900 | INHIBITION OF METHANE PRODUCTION DURING ANAEROBIC REDUCTIVE DECHLORINATION - This method of restricting methane production in methanogenic bacteria, by the use of the enzyme and coenzyme inhibitors, works during anaerobic reductive dechlorination. Various compounds such as, but not limited to, red yeast rice, vitamin B10 derivatives, and ethanesulfonates are utilized to disrupt these different enzyme and coenzyme systems responsible for the production of methane. This method affects the competition of the methanogen and halo bacteria for the organic hydrogen donors that are injected in the soil and groundwater system during the remediation process. | 09-11-2014 |
20140311971 | USE OF ENCAPSULATED SUBSTRATES THAT CONTROLTHE RELEASE RATES OF ORGANIC HYDROGEN DONORS - Anaerobic reductive dechlorination processes remove chlorinated solvents from contaminated subsurface soil and ground water. The presence of organic hydrogen donors enables anaerobic microorganisms present in the subsurface soil and groundwater to accelerate the reductive dechlorination process. The present invention provides an alternative method to control the release rate of organic hydrogen donors during dechlorination. The invention utilizes encapsulated substrates to control the release rate of organic hydrogen donors, therefore accelerating the biotic process of anaerobic reductive dechlorination. | 10-23-2014 |

20150183670 | HEAVY METAL STABILIZATION AND METHANE INHIBITION DURING INDUCED OR NATURALLY OCCURRING REDUCING CONDITIONS IN CONTAMINATED MEDIA - A method for inhibiting methane production in naturally occurring or induced reducing conditions, thus subsequently resulting into inhibition of the biomethylation process of the heavy metals is disclosed. The disclosed inhibiting composition blocks 3-hydroxy-3-ethylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, and 8-hydroxy-5-deazaflavin (coenzyme F | 07-02-2015 |
20160076057 | INHIBITION OF METHANE AND HYDROGEN SULFIDE PRODUCTION IN ANAEROBIC DIGESTER ANIMAL FARMS, LANDFILLS, SEDIMENTS AND SEWER SYSTEMS - A method for inhibiting methane and hydrogen sulfide production from anaerobic digester systems and other biogas generating mediums disclosed. The biogas generating medium is contacted with an effective amount of a composition comprising red yeast rice and iron oxide to cause inhibition of methane and hydrogen sulfide production, and is useful in biogas generating medium from animal farms, including a swine, cattle or chicken farms. The method is useful to inhibit methane and hydrogen sulfide production in sewage systems, landfills, and sediment containing organic carbon. The disclosed inhibiting composition blocks 3-hydroxy-3-ethylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, and 8-hydroxy-5-deazaflavin (coenzyme F | 03-17-2016 |
