SEVERAL EXHAUST GAS NOX ABATEMENMT PROCESSES EXIST BASED ON HETEROGENEOUS REACTION OF A REDUCED NITROGEN CONTAINING ADDITIVE SUCH AS NH3. THESE EXISTING PROCESSES ARE NOT ADEQUATETO MEET PROPOSED NOX EMISSIONS REGULATIONS FOR MOST RETROFITPOWER PLANT STACKS AND INCINERATORS. THE INVESTIGATORS PRO-POSE TO TEST COMBINATIONS OF ADDITIVES AND CATALYSTS THAT HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO LEAD TO A NEW PROCESS ...

OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, THE EPA HAS DEVOTED MAJOR EF- FORTS TO IDENTIFY AND DOCUMENT THE MAGNITUDE OF THE RISKS OFENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION DUE TO LEAKING UDERGROUND STORAGE TANKS (UST). IN APRIL 1987, THE EPA PUBLISHED THE PROPOSED REGULATIONS FOR THE OWNERS AND OPERATORS OF UST, WHICH ARE EXPECTED TO BE FINALIZEDD IN EARLY 1988. THESE REGULATIONS INCLUDE REQUIREMENTS FOR TANK TIGHTNESS TESTS, ...

In the Phase II project, METSS will continue the development of a safe, robust, rapid, and effective chlorine dioxide (ClO2) gas dispersion system to be used for on-site room decontamination in hospital and non-hospital settings. The heart of the decontamination system is a proprietary ClO2 generating micro-reactor technology that is used to quickly and safely generate ClO2 on-site. This technolog ...

CAMX Power proposes to develop a high power, long life lithium-ion (Li-ion) 6T vehicle battery that can be completely de-energized for logistical transportation and storage purposes, giving it exceptional shelf life and making it intrinsically safe under conditions of relaxed environmental controls and with no or minimal state-of-health monitoring. This novel battery, based on CAMX Power’s propr ...

This SBIR will demonstrate coaxial thermal imaging using the Stratonics ThermaViz® sensor as a uniquely effective tool for tracking process metrics, at high-speed, during laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). The Phase II project will then develop this sensing technique for LPBF process qualification and closed-loop control. The key is integrating ThermaViz into UTC’s AMSENSE® in situ monitoring arc ...

This Phase II project aims to assemble the key set of sensor modalities that are needed to reliably view the key process anomalies and properties of laser powder bed fusion. The research team will down-select from the Phase I sensors investigated and integrate the sensors into a sensor fusion software package that facilitates data collection and synchronization, and eventually feedback control of ...

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) believes there may be advantages to using Augmented Reality (AR) technologies, including the associated benefits of Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities, for improving procurement, logistics and distribution processes in its operations today. Commercial businesses around the world are proving gains in reliability, repeatability, and reduced process costs in all ...
