THE PHASE I RESEARCH WILL COMPLETE DEVELOPMENT OF A MATHEMATICAL MODEL AND CONDUCT CONTINUOUS FLOW BENCH-SCALE STUDIES TO EVALUATE THE FEASIBILITY AND APPLICABILITY OF A PROPOSED ALTERNATIVE OFFGAS VOC CONTROL STRATEGY. THE PROPOSED SYSTEM UTILIZED OFFGAS CAPTURE FROM WASTEWATER TREATMENT AND STORAGE UNITS FOR RECYCLE TO AN AEROBIC BIOLOGICAL TREATMENT PROCESS. THE RECYCLED GAS PHASE WILL INCREASE ...

FOSSIL ENERGY RESEARCH CORPORATION PROPOSES THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NOVEL DUCT INJECTION PROCESS FOR SIMULTANEOUS REMOVAL OF SO2 AND NOX FROM COAL-FIRED POWER PLANT FLUE GASES. IN THIS PROCESS, A MIXTURE OF LIME AND A PROPRIETARY SORBENT ISINJECTED EITHER DRY OR IN THE FORM OF A SLURRY INTO THE FLUEGAS DUCT BETWEEN THE AIR PREHEATER AND PARTICULATE COLLECTION DEVICE. LIME REMOVES SO2 AND THE PROPRIET ...

THE PROBLEM OF EDUCATING TEACHERS, PARENTS AND STUDENTS ON THE DANGERS OF DRUG ABUSE IS AN ENDURING ONE. PRINTED MATERIAL IS READILY AVAILABLE BUT IS INEFFECTIVE IF THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IS TOO CONDENSED AND IS IGNORED IF TOO DETAILED. A COMPUTERIZED VERSION OF SUCH MATERIAL WILL FARENO BETTER UNLESS IT CAN BE PUT INTO A FORM WHERE JUST THE RIGHT INFORMATION IS PROVIDED AT THE RIGHT LEVEL OF DE ...

CARBON ADSORPTION IS A WIDELY USED TECHNIQUE TO REMOVE AND CONCENTRATE VOCS FROM DILUTED AIR AND WATER STREAMS. PERIODICALLY CARBON BEDS ARE REGENERATED WITH STEAM. THE RESULTS OF THIS REGENERATION AFTER COOLING, IS A CONCENTRATED MIXTURE OF HAZARDOUS COMPOUNDS AND WATER. COMMON AND PARTICULARLY TROUBLESOME STREAM CONDENSATES ARE THOSE CONTAINING MIXTURES OF CHLORINATED SOLVENTS AND WATER-MISCIBLE ...

CFCS EMITTED AS PURGE STREAMS FORM LARGE INDUSTRIAL REFRIGERATORS ARE A CONSIDERABLE ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM AND AN ECONOMIC LOSS. MEMBRANE ORGANIC VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEMS APPEAR TO BE ABLE TO TREAT THESE STREAMS. A MEMBRANE UNIT COULD RECOVER CFC FOR REUSE IN THE REFRIGERATOR, AND PRODUCEA CFC-DEPLETED AIRSTREAM FOR VENTING. IN THE PHASE I PROGRAM, EXISTING MEMBRANES WOULD BE FABRICATED INTO HIGH-PR ...

COAL COMBUSTION FLUE GAS THAT IS DESULFURIZED WITH LIME OR LIMESTONE RESULTS IN 30-35 MILLION TONS PER YEAR OF GYPSUM- LIKE WASTE. THIS PRESENTS A DISPOSAL PROBLEM WHICH COULD BEELIMINATED BY THE CONVERSION INTO MARKETABLE COMMODITIES. SCIENCE VENTURES HAS BEEN EXPERIMENTING WITH A NEW HIGHSPEEDCHEMICAL PROCESS TO SOLVE A RELATED ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM. THEIR FLASK PROCESS RECOVERS SULFUR VALUES FR ...

To deal with the increasingly complex, dynamic and unpredictable operational environments of the 21st century, unmanned and autonomous system, sensor, and vehicle technologies are being expanded and improved. For example, unmanned air, ground, and maritime systems provide an expanding set of capabilities, such as intelligence, detection, security, targeting, and strike, while reducing the risk to ...
