  4. A Decision Tool for Anaerobic Digesters at WWTPs

    SBC: QUANTALUX, LLC            Topic: 84

    Many municipal wastewater plants are interested in maximizing the use of anaerobic digestion (AD) at their wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), but lack the tools to evaluate the potential benefits. The decision process for how to best use an anaerobic digester is complex, requiring tradeoffs in feedstock management, energy use/production and appropriate disposal of the processed organic material. ...

  5. Evaluating the feasibility of a mobile drinking water laboratory for rural water treatment plants to improve water quality and reduce costs

    SBC: Foundation Instruments, Inc.            Topic: 86

    In 2007, about 20% of all legal violations in the United States drinking water industry were of the THMs MCL under Stage 1 of the Disinfectant and DBP rule. Of these violations, 84% were at rural WTP that served less than 10,000 people. Thus, THMs violations disproportionally affect rural WTP. The WTP serving rural counties are federally required to provide safe drinking water at the same standard ...

    SBC: JUN INNOVATIONS, INC.            Topic: 85

    In conventional refrigerators food items are frozen among ice crystals and their quality is compromised once they are thawed. The deterioration of quality may include generation of drips, protein denaturation and changes in the cellular structure of foods. The occurrence of ice crystallization can be prevented by the phenomenon called supercooling that involves temperature reduction below the free ...

  8. SBIR Phase 2: Determination of best candidates for novel orally delivered therapeutic candidates to combat spread of coccidiosis in poultry

    SBC: US BIOLOGIC            Topic: 83

    Avian coccidiosis threatens poultry production worldwide. At this time, there are multiple means of preventing coccidiosis, each of which are not sufficient to completely control the disease without complications.
