SBIR Phase I: Advancing a novel low-voltage electric arc method to oxidize organic material in contaminated water
Award Year / Program / Phase:
2011 / SBIR / Phase I
Agency:
NSF
Principal Investigator:
Mandar Sunthankar
Award Amount:
$149,988.00
Abstract:
This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project from Symbios Technologies LLC advances a novel plasma reactor method to oxidize organic matter in untreated water. This method has further potential to destroy harmful substances such as pesticides, pathogens, and some inorganics. A… More
Elimination of Biological Matter in Power Plant Cooling Water using Low Temperature Plasma
Award Year / Program / Phase:
2012 / SBIR / Phase I
Agency:
DOE
Principal Investigator:
Justin Bzdek, Mr. – 970-222-9178
Award Amount:
$150,000.00
Abstract:
Cooling water systems in thermal power plants are notoriously difficult to maintain because they provide the ideal, warm environments for the growth of algae and bacteria. This biofouling can lead to corrosion and cracking of cooling pipes in heat exchangers. Conventionally, disinfection chemicals… More

Abstract:
Five years ago, Congress set a goal of 500 million gallons of cellulosic ethanol produced in 2012. Although progress has been made, EPA has drastically reduced its 2012 U.S. production projection to only 8.65 million gallons. This huge shortfall is due to many factors, including high capital costs… More
