A team at EP Purification has performed research for the development and commercialization of low-cost microchannel plasma reactor modules capable of efficiently producing ozone for water treatment and other environmental applications in a slim form factor and size. The conservation of water resources for human consumption is a growing national priority. Ozone is a unique purification agent as it ...

Of the18,000 miles of pre-stressed concrete cylinder pipe (PCCP) within the drinking water transmission infrastructure laid between 1945 and 1996 in the United States, almost one-half, or 8,600 miles of pipe, is considered to be end-of-life infrastructure, awaiting funding for replacement. The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) gave the United States a grade of D for its drinking water inf ...

This project addresses the national need to continuously monitor and control mercury emission from industrial, municipal and energy-production sources. The proposed development of novel chemical microsensors and instrumentation have a unique combination of advantages to satisfy this need. The small sample size required by the microsensors in these instruments will both prolong their useful lifet ...

Indoor air in work places, automobiles, recreation settings and homes is one ofthe major sources of direct human exposure to particulates, chemicals and diseasecausing bacteria. Recent estimates suggest that more than 98% of theseparticulate pollutants are very small (less than 1 ) and, therefore, cannot beeffectively filtered by exiting filters. These particulates are also know to becarriers o ...
