Head orientation sensing system
SBC: APPAREO SYSTEMS LLC Topic: AF071020Appareo Systems, LLC, proposes to develop a functional prototype head-mounted position and orientation system (HPOS). The HPOS will be capable of operating in electromagnetic fields of up to 200 volts/meter and will provide at least one degree of accuracy and at least one degree of resolution at a 60 Hz update rate while providing 3 degree of freedom (DOF) information on head orientation, includi ...

Nuclear Physics Particle and Radiation Detection Systems, Nuclear Targets and High Radiation Environment Beam Transport Components
SBC: Applied Diamond, Inc. Topic: 26Longer-lived stripper foils operating in present-day DOE accelerator facilities, with elements up to mass 100, would provide substantial operating savings and reduced radiation exposure to maintenance personnel. However, the next generation of rare isotope facilities would need even more robust stripper foils to survive exposure to higher-power density beams of even heavier elements, up to uraniu ...

Hybrid Membrane Distillation Process for Enhanced Integrated Ethanol Production
SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: 1978204SThe conversion of corn and other biomass to fuel grade ethanol not only would reduce U.S. dependence on foreign energy sources but also would be a major industrial application for agricultural products. However, the process of drying the ethanol from a 95% ethanol-5% water mixture (the azeotrope) to fuel grade ethanol consumes significant amounts of energy, incurring costs that continue to ...

Novel Platform for Hybrid Distillation of Inorganic Acids
SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: 30b78749S Distillation is a very valuable chemical engineering unit operation, but it is both energy and capital intensive. This is especially true when components either form azeotropes or have small relative volatility differences. A hybrid, robust membrane process could eliminate azeotropes and process pinch points. Therefore, this project will develop chemically and thermally stable high flux ...

Hybrid Anti-Fouling Membrane System for Natural Gas Separation
SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: 1978243S Substantial amounts of natural gas reserves contain large amounts of non-methane gases, such as carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulfide, which make them uneconomical to market. While commercially available membranes offer the potential to remove these gases and produce pipeline grade natural gas, these membranes have limited separation capability or have failed due to unanticipated poisoning ...

High Temperature Membrane Reactors
SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: 08bMembrane reactors have the potential to improve the reactivity, productivity, and energy efficiency of various chemical syntheses including transesterification. To be of value, the membrane reactors must provide a higher use temperature, improved chemical resistance and better mass transfer. This project will evaluate the use of a high temperature, high mass transfer membrane system to enhance t ...

Dewatering Membrane for Hazy Hydrodesulfurization Unit Effluents
SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: 09Refinery product streams, particularly those from Ultra Low Hydrodesulfurisation units, are prone to haze due to water emulsions. Hazy fuel cannot be used until the haze is removed, which creates costly scheduling and shipping delays. This project will develop a novel membrane process to rapidly remove fuel haze in real time. The process would be expected to operate on a once-through basis. Ph ...

Stabilizing Hydraulic Fluid by Removing Water
SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: 21In the electrical power, steel production, and aluminum production industries, flame retardant, phosphate-ester hydraulic fluids are used to minimize fires. Although these fluids accomplish the fire-minimization task, they are unstable, which causes performance to suffer with attendant losses in productivity. This project will develop novel, chemically-resistant high-flux membranes that can remo ...

Enhanced Distillation via Membranes for Elimination of Trapped Water
SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: 21Distillation is a major chemical unit operation and consumer of significant energy. Often, water or some other intermediate boiling component can become trapped within the distillation column and accumulate. This causes various operating difficulties such as flooding, slugging, cycling, instability, and off-spec product. This project will develop a chemically-resistant, non-porous, water-ventin ...

Novel Platform for Enhanced Membrane Reactors for Homogeneous Catalysis
SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: 23Membrane reactors have been proposed for a number of syntheses. However, to be competitive with conventional technologies, membrane reactors must provide better selectivity, permeability, and stability. This project will develop a novel platform with enhanced membrane permeability and stability, as needed for broad membrane reactor utilization. In Phase I, a chemically resistant membrane reacto ...
