RADON-222 IN INDOOR AIR HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A PERVASIVE POLLUTANT AND A SIGNIFICANT HEALTH THREAT. ARETE TECHNOLOGIES PROPOSES TO INVESTIGATE A MEMBRANE-BASED SYSTEMFOR MITIGATING THE INDOOR AIR POLLUTION PROBLEM TO WHICH WATERBORNE RADON GAS CAN CONTRIBUTE. THE SYSTEM, WHICH OPERATES AT WATER SUPPLY PRESSURE, AVOIDS THE PROBLEMS OF RADIOACTIVITY BUILDUP AND SPENT CARBON DISPOSAL ASSOCIATED WIT ...

EXISTING PROCESSES FOR COMBINED REMOVAL OF SOX/NOX FROM COMBUSTION GASES HAVE NOT BEEN PROVEN TO BE PARTICULARLY EFFECTIVE IN MEETING CURRENT EMISSION STANDARDS. SELECTIVE CATALYTIC REDUCTIONS FOR NOX REMOVAL ARE AVAILABLE, AND ARE EFFECTIVE IN REACHING CURRENT EMISSION STANDARDS, BUT THEY ARE PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE IN MANY APPLICATIONS BECAUSE OF THE HIGH INITIAL COST OF THE CATALYST AND ITS REP ...

MORE COST EFFECTIVE SYSTEMS ARE NEEDED FOR RECOVERING VOLATILE ORGANIC CONTAMINANTS (VOCS) FROM INDUSTRIAL EXHAUSTGAS. THE PROPOSED APPROACH IS TO COOL THE GAS WELL BELOW THE DEW POINT OF THE VOCS. NORMALLY, ICE AND DIRT FORM ON THE CONDENSING SURFACE, REDUCING THE HEAT TRANSFER RATE, REQUIRING SHUT-DOWN AND PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE. ENERGY INNOVATION, INC.'S, INNOVATION WILL ELIMINATE THESE REQUIRE ...

THIS PROPOSAL PRESENTS A CONCEPT FOR A CHEMICAL MONITOR BASED ON DIFFERENTIAL CATALYTIC REACTIVITIES AND LARGE REACTION EXOTHERMICITIES. THE SIMPLICITY OF THE PROPOSED SENSOR CONCEPT PROMISES AN ECONOMIC AND RELIABLE MONITOR FOR IN-SITU MEASUREMENT OF A VARIETY OF GASES. IN THIS PROJECT, ENVIROCHEM, INC., WILL INVESTIGATE THE APPLICATION OF THIS CONCEPT FOR MEASURING AMMONIA IN FLUE GASES. A SENSI ...

FOSTER-MILLER PROPOSES TO UTILIZE SCRAP PREPREG WASTE AS A REINFORCEMENT IN RECYCLED POLYETHYLENE. BY REINFORCING RECYCLED PLASTICS SUCH AS POLYETHYLENE WITH SCRAP PREPREG AND SUITABLE BINDERS, AN ECONOMICAL USEFUL PRODUCT CAN BE OBTAINED. AT THE SAME TIME, THIS INNOVATION WILL ALSO HELP TO REDUCE 2.5 MILLION POUND/YR OF HAZARDOUS WASTE -- UNCURED PREPREG SCRAP. FOSTER-MILLER IS WORKING WITH A COM ...

RESEARCH WILL BE CONDUCTED BY HICHEM CORPORATION, TO DEVELOP A NEW TECHNOLOGY FOR PYROLYSIS OF SCRAP TIRES. DISPOSAL OF USED TIRES IS A BIG PROBLEM IN THE WORLD, ESPECIALLY USA, SINCE MORE THAN 2.5 MILLION TIRES ARE DISCARDED EACH YEAR. MOST OF THESE TIRES ARE DISPOSED IN LANDFILLS. PYROLYSIS OF SCRAP TIRES HELPS TO RECOVER AND REUSE MOST OF THE VALUABLE CHEMICAL AVAILABLE IN TIRES. PYROLYSIS OF S ...
