Analytical ferrography is among the most powerful diagnostic tools in oil analysis. The test is qualitative, because it relies on the skill and knowledge of the ferrographic analyst.... A sample of the machine's lubricating oil is taken and diluted, then run across a glass slide. This glass slide is then placed on a magnetic cylinder that attracts the contaminants. Non-magnetic contaminants remain distributed across the slide from the wash. These contaminants are then washed, to remove excess oil, heated to 315 °C(600 °F) for 2 minutes and the slide is analysed under a microscope. After analysis, the particles will be ranked according to size. Particles larger than 30 μm in size are considered "abnormal" and indicate severe wear. 2, record 1, English, - analytical%20ferrography

Edible olive oil can be produced only if the olives are clean and free of toxins and poisons. It is best to avoid the use of pesticides in growing your olives. Wash the olives of any pesticides if you use them before making oil. Put the oil in clean, food grade containers. 1, record 2, English, - edible%20olive%20oil

Emulsion breakers may be(1) devices for heating the emulsion, in which case the separation of oil and water is achieved by lowering the viscosity of the emulsion and allowing the water globules to settle out;(2) chemical compounds, which are chosen for their ability to destroy or weaken the film around the globule of water, thus allowing individual globules to unite;(3) mechanical devices such as settling tanks and wash tanks; and(4) electrostatic treaters, which use an intense electric field to cause coalescence of water globules... 4, record 5, English, - emulsion%20breaker

"Cold-adapted enzymes have many potential applications, including use by the detergent industry, a $100 million market, where enzymes are in demand for cold water wash applications, "said Bruggeman. "Our research focuses on customizing the enzymes we discovered in our Phase 1 research, as well as identifying additional esterase and lipase genes which can be developed and optimized further for multiple uses. "The Phase II award will fund research in extreme cold, deep-sea environments where unique microbes have been found to dwell in the carcasses of whale skeletons. These skeletons ooze oil for up to 20 years and are encrusted with a dense microbial flora that derives energy and nutrition from the lipids found in the decaying whale. The microbes are, therefore, a source of rare cold-adapted enzymes. In Phase 1 research, Diversa scientists found that these enzymes have the capability to efficiently degrade fats and oils under laboratory conditions of extreme cold, such as in cold water wash conditions. 1, record 6, English, - cold%2Dadapted%20enzyme

Le truc des cryozymes repose donc sur le repliement de leur structure polypeptidique : il se produit de telle façon que la rigidité moléculaire ne survient qu'à des températures inférieures à 0ºC.
