Enertechnix proposes to adapt its novel aerodynamic lens aerosol concentration technology to provide high flow rate, high efficiency sampling of particles and vapors for use in the detection of Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosives Devices. Our approach combines forced air jet(s) for dislodging… More

The current DFU inlet exhibits poor aerosol sampling efficiency at high wind speeds. This project will develop an improved inlet with very high sampling efficiency for 1 to 20 micron particles at wind speeds up to 30 mph independent of wind direction. The project is focused on the DFU, but our… More

Our approach combines forced air jets for dislodging particles and vapors from the vehicle surfaces, with concentration… More

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of the proposed research is to develop a personal exposure monitor for indoor and outdoor particulate matter in the ultrafine to 10 micron size range. The proposed device will collect large volumes of ambient a ir in the vicinity of the wearer's… More

Recovery boilers are a key component of all Kraft pulp mills and are the production bottleneck in most such mills. Formation of deposits on the outside of heat transfer tubes can cause plugging of the gas passages within the convective sections of the boiler leading to unscheduled outages and lost… More
