Certain booster compositions and methods of using the booster compositions to clean fermentation equipment are disclosed. The booster compositions are useful in environments with variable, changing, unstable, or limited alkalinity sources found within fermentation equipment.

Booster composition for cleaning fermentation equipment and methods of use

Disclosed are membrane separation cleaning processes and clean in place compositions for such membranes. The cleaning compositions can remove proteins, fats, and other food, beverage, and brewery based soils and offer an environmentally friendly alternative surfactant system to NPE. Branched extended chain PO/EO nonionic surfactants with certain characteristics may be used to provide superior cleaning to membranes. The specific surfactants may be used alone or in combination. In some embodiments, the surfactant package is used as part of a cleaning composition.

Use of extended surfactants in process membrane cleaning

Linen treatment compositions and linen processes are disclosed which help to prevent iron deposition from wash water, and/or redeposition after iron containing stain (such as blood) removal by alkaline detergents. The linen treatment composition is a combination of a hydroxycarboxylic acid and an acid source, which may be organic or inorganic. The invention provides for effective iron control in a phosphorus-free formula that is also free of toxic or hazardous chemicals and includes sustainable, environmentally friendly ingredients, while still providing effective iron control.

Sustainable laundry sour compositions with iron control

Surfactants capable of releasing and/or dissolving polymers to form water-soluble or water-dispersible polymer solutions are disclosed. In addition, polymer compositions containing a water-in-oil emulsion comprising the surfactant are provided and can be used, for example, in methods of dissolving a polymer. Also disclosed are detergent compositions and methods of cleaning articles and/or membranes using the surfactants herein. These surfactants and polymer compositions can be used in various industries including for water clarification, papermaking, sewage and industrial water treatment, drilling mud stabilizers, and enhanced oil recovery.

Surfactant compositions and use thereof

Methods and compositions for cleaning industrial equipment (e.g. biofuel or corn ethanol plant equipment) in place at high temperatures using acidic methane sulfonic acid compositions having a low pH.

Acidic cleaner

Disclosed are detergent compositions and methods of cleaning articles and/or membranes using the surfactants herein. Compounds, compositions, and methods for using these compounds and compositions in detergent or cleaning compositions are also provided. These compounds, compositions, and methods are particularly directed to cleaning compositions and methods that have advantageous cleaning properties at a pH of 7 or less. In particular, the compounds, compositions, and methods described herein can also be used as general surfactants in detergent compositions or in methods of cleaning articles or membranes.

Non-caustic cleaning compositions and uses thereof

Methods of cleaning waxy, oily and/or greasy soils, including lipsticks and lip gloss, are disclosed. Methods of removing lipstick and lip gloss stains in laundry applications are disclosed through application of alkaline cleaning compositions comprising branched polyamines.

Compositions and methods of removing lipstick using branched polyamines

A detergent emulsifier for laundry and other hard surface cleaning using an APE-free surfactant blend is disclosed. The emulsifier system is efficacious for removal of oily soils and greasy food removal. The compositions according to the invention include linear and branched fatty alcohol ethoxylates and ethoxylate propoxylate block copolymers. Methods of using the same are disclosed.
