A 40% shortfall in the global freshwater supply is expected by 2030, which makes using potable water forall household applications unsustainable. Using safe, non-potable alternative water sources for usesincluding toilet flushing, irrigation, and laundry can significantly reduce the stress on the potable watersupply.Our system supports the effort to conserve potable water by offering a product tha ...

Off target pesticide spray drift is an economically and environmentally significant problem. Off target drift can damage susceptible crops, orchards, and apiaries, induce herbicide resistant weed development, damage native pollinator habitats, create human-health related pesticide exposure hazards, and create social and legal strife as a result of adjudicating exposure incidents. SprayCast uses ma ...

The Zero-Waste (ZeWa) system is an onsite black- and greywater treatment technology that maximizes the chemical energy potential contained in wastewater to produce zero-waste and three valuable reuse output streams: A) clean water for non-potable reuse, B) concentrated fertilizer for local nutrient supply, and C) Class A biosolids for local soil amendment. Over the course of Phase I, a lab-scale Z ...

Electrodialytic nutrient recovery (ENR) is a bolt-on technology for existing products in the onsite wastewater treatment system (OWTS) market. ENR is set apart from competitive technologies in that it can meet or exceed strict regulatory standards for nutrient removal without biological processes or added chemicals. The United States has a growing population reliant on OWTS products, and many regi ...

This SBIR Phase II proposal provides a sustainable solution for two major environmental challenges in the agriculture and building industry. In the agriculture industry, swine manure treatment is a major problem, both environmentally and economically. Currently, more than 120 million hogs being produced in the US per year, generating more than 6 billion gallons of swine manure that must be treated ...

Daily, approximately 321,000 underfired charbroilers in approximately 700,000 U.S. food service operations account for 94 percent of current restaurant emissions, equivalent to more than 285 tons of particulate matter (PM) and more than 41 tons of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), a significant source of environmental air pollution adversely impacting health. Grease emissions from one underfired ...

This proposal describes the application, development and commercial scale-up of a process successfully developed under EPA contract number EP-D-04-042 for the deposition of copper and copper barrier materials such as ruthenium, titanium and other metals. This process could replace CU electroplating currently used to fill deep trenches and thin film deposition in microelectronic circuit manufactur ...

This research project involves the application, development, and commercial scale up of a process for the deposition of copper and copper barrier materials such as ruthenium, titanium, and other metals. This process could replace copper electroplating currently used to fill deep trenches and thin-film deposition in microelectronic circuit manufacturing. In addition, physical vapor depo ...
