Develop an electrified technology for non-potable reuse of septic tank effluent
SBC: J-TECH LLC Topic: 1ASeptic systems, widely used by >25% of U.S. households, represent a 6-billion-dollar market with a 5-7% projected growth rate. There is growing interest in non-potable reuse of septic tank effluent, yet existing disinfection methods are either costly (e.g., UV) or require households to handle hazardous chemicals (e.g., chlorine tablets). This project will validate a promising septic tank technolog ...

A high-speed, low cost, machine learning enhanced, hyperspectral imaging system for improved identification of microplastics
SBC: SPORIAN MICROSYSTEMS, INC Topic: 1BMicroplastics are environmental pollutants ubiquitous in marine and freshwater environments and have been established to have deleterious impacts on aquatic life and human health. Preventing Microplastics from getting into waterways or removing it once it is there, is the mission of EPA’s Trash Free Waters program and, as the production of plastics continues to grow, EPA is looking for innovativ ...

Robotic, Artificial intelligence (AI) Powered Trash System for Facility Sorting and Auditing Waste and Educating Transient Populations
SBC: CLEANROBOTICS Topic: 4BCleanRobotics has developed a robotic, artificial intelligence (AI) powered system, called TrashBot, for sorting and auditing recycling, landfill, and compost from facilities with transient populations. Our system has the unique capability of ensuring proper waste sorting of up to four waste streams with the added cost reduction of eliminating user intervention. Discarding waste becomes an educati ...

SBIR Phase II: Mobile Plastic Ocean Waste Recycler
SBC: PKS CONSULTING, INC. Topic: 5BPlastic Ocean Waste (POW) is accumulating in our oceans and on our beaches at an accelerating rate. Eight million metric tons (8M MT) of plastic is entering the world's oceans each year at a rate of one ton per minute. Alaska represents 53% of the U.S. coastline. During Phase I, we estimated the amount of POW accumulating on Alaska's shorelines at 34,500 to 51,700 MT/yr at a rate of three ton per ...

Metal Organic Frameworks for Low‐Cost Radon Mitigation
SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC. Topic: 2EExposure to radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, resulting in about 21,000 deaths annually. This exposure is due to accumulation of radon in the soils below homes and subsequent diffusion or convection into our living spaces. TDA Research, Inc., (TDA) proposes to develop a novel low‐cost radon mitigation system, using a state‐of‐the‐art metal‐organic fra ...

A New Photo‐catalyst Based Air Treatment System to Reduce the Risks from Transmission of Viruses and Bacteria
SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC. Topic: 3ATreating the air in common, high traffic areas to eliminate biological contaminants (e.g., virus, bacteria, fungus) could reduce the transmission of airborne diseases. UV germicidal irradiation has been shown to inactivate all types of microorganisms including drug‐sensitive and multi‐drug‐resistant bacteria and different viral strains. TDA Research, in collaboration with Arizona State Unive ...

Automated Waste Sorting at the Point of Disposal
SBC: CLEANROBOTICS Topic: 4BCleanRobotics seeks to improve the US recycling system by using robotic sorting, powered by object detection, artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) to sort up between 2-4 streams (recycling, compost, landfill, etc) at the point of collection. This will improve the collection and sortation of recyclables in the US, where total collection rates are 35% and successful sortation rates a ...

Early detection and prediction of harmful algal blooms using low cost, networked IOT sensors and machine learning
SBC: AquaRealTime LLC Topic: 20OSAPEP2Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) are an increasing problem in waterways all over the world, costing an average of $17 billion in damages each each year. HABs have shut down water supplies to entire US cities in recent years. Blooms occur when nutrient-rich waters stimulate cyanobacterial growth, resulting in unsightly sludges that discolor waterways, rendering them dangerous to humans, liverstock and ...

Hydrothermal Alkaline Treatment of PFAS Contaminated Water and Groundwater
SBC: Aquagga, Inc. Topic: 20OSAPE3APer-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been used extensively since the 1940s due to their chemical stability and unique thermophysical properties. Those same properties make PFAS extremely recalcitrant environmental pollutants, and bioaccumulative toxins. Regulations are rapidly being established by U.S. states, including Michigan, New Hampshire, and New Jersey, beholding municipal water u ...
