Our research is focused on EPA SBIR Topic 1A: Decentralized wastewater treatment (septic system) technologies for intentional non-potable reuse. LeapFrog research aims to provide innovative decentralized water treatment for non-potable reuse and capture onsite for single-family residence scale. Across the country, growing demand for high-quality water is met with long term challenges due to drough ...

Our product will incentivize source separation of construction and demolition waste by capturing true weights of recoverable products and adjusting disposal pricing based upon percentage of recyclability. This holistic inventory aggregation and management system will allow material recovery facilities (MRFs) to accurately evaluate inbound waste by weight and track recovered materials inventories. ...

This project, Lithium Battery Deactivation/Render Safe, will develop and demonstrate technology to transform live or damaged batteries into inert items on an mobile-pilot scale suitable to process batteries in a relevant environment.  The project will build upon successful developmental work supported through EERE DE-EE0008475 “Elimination of Class-9 Hazards in Lithium-ion Recycling”, and ...

Fairmount Technologies (FT) proposes to produce Source Approval Request (SAR) packages for, two DLA Nuclear Enterprise Support Office (NESO) identified aircraft bracket components. The two identified National Stock Numbers (NSN) are as follows: 2840-00-779-2651 (Bracket, Assembly) and 5340-00-026-0482 (Bracket, Angle). Both parts are identified as critical components. FT will provide SAR packages ...

This Phase II Small Business Innovation Research project develops the scale of lithium-ion direct recycling technologies applied to gain efficiencies in materials management from original manufacturing to end-of-life. The scrap materials are from Defense Logistics Agency manufacturing activities. A successful effort moves direct recycle TRL from 4 to 6, increases process throughput, qualifies mate ...

Tamper Resistant/Anti-Counterfeit Package Labeling.A new innovative best practice tamper resistant/Anti-counterfeiting package labeling technology was the focal of this research.

_x000D_Currently available biomass heating/cooking stoves in Asia and in the USA do not efficiently cook food or heat houses while consuming too much fuel and emitting pollution, resulting in respiratory illnesses and premature death. ASAT specializes in the development and manufacturing of clean burning biomass stoves. In SBIR Phase I, ASAT developed a low emission, fuel efficient Integrated Heat ...

Fairmount Technologies (FT) has demonstrated that ExtruMach is a disruptive technology for drilling curved extrusions and proposes to further develop this during Phase II for milling extrusions. ExtruMach-PoCM (proof of concept machine) is a flow-type multi-axis CNC machine with a small footprint, which is more capable than existing machines in that it has no limit on the length of parts it can ha ...

Biomass heating/cooking stoves in developing countries do not efficiently cook food or heat houses, while consuming too much fuel and emitting pollution resulting in respiratory illnesses, premature death, and climate change. Affordable technologies found in 1.) EPA approved heating stoves, 2.) DOE funded cooking stoves, and 3.) TEG (thermoelectric generation) lighting devices, improve heating, co ...

This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will demonstrate feasibility of recycling material from lithium-ion batteries. The research project will recycle scrap batteries using innovative processes that produce material suitable for use in new batteries.The project will process and characterize the recycled materials and compare those technical results with appropriate standards.To s ...
