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 ...

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 ...

Removing PFAS in Investigation Derived Wastes (IDW) with Electrocoagulation and Electrochemically Activated Persulfate
SBC: AirLIft Environmental LLC Topic: 19NCER3ARepeated use of aqueous firefighting foams containing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) has contaminated hundreds of sites. To delineate the extent of contamination, many of these sites are undergoing intensive site investigations and generating large quantities of investigation derived wastes (IDW). Current disposal practices of landfilling or incineration are costly and burdensome. This ...

Electrochemical Mineralization of PFAS in lndustrial Wastewater
SBC: OXBYEL TECHNOLOGIES INC. Topic: 18NCER1CThe EPA has established health advisory levels at 70 parts per trillion (ppt) for combined PFAS concentration. Water resources are susceptible to contamination by PFAS release from industry and landfill sites. Consequently, there is a need for on-site pretreatment technologies for PFASs in industrial wastewater. Electrochemical treatment has been shown to be effective for the mineralization of PFA ...

Trenchless Water Main Point Repairs with SuperLaminate
SBC: Quakewrap, Inc. Topic: 18NCER1EAging infrastructure is a major challenge faced by the water utilities in the USA and across the globe, and with an overall rating of D by the ASCE, water distribution systems are no exception. Approximately 240,000 water main breaks occur in US systems every year with a cost of at least $3.6 billion. As such, innovative, economical, and sustainable solutions are needed in renewing the water trans ...

Phytoremediation of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) via phytoextraction
SBC: NUTTER & ASSOCIATES, INC. Topic: 17NCER3ANAI has a strategy to identify plant species best suited for proof-of-concept testing for phytoremediation of perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) via phytoextraction. Phytoextraction refers to the uptake and translocation of contaminants in the soil by plant roots into the aboveground portions of plants. Once the phytoextraction concepts are proven at the bench-scale (Phase I) and followed with succe ...
