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 ...

Triangle Environmental proposes a compact, modular system for rapid, fully-automated treatment of domestic greywater for non-potable onsite reuse. There is an expected 40% global shortfall between supply and demand of water by 2030. The current standard of household water use, in which potable water is used for all applications, is therefore unsustainable. Alternate water sources can be used for a ...

Aircraft wire damage can be caused by aging, maintenance, vibration, exposure to moisture, and many other factors. However, current wire maintenance and inspection methods are often insufficient to detect these frequent problems. Williams-Pyro, Inc. proposes to develop an aircraft wire maintenance system that detects wiring problems and analyzes the type of fault. This system, called Active Aut ...

THE CONTRACTOR SHALL DEVELOP A FUZZY SET METHODOLOGY FOR UNCERTAINTY ANALYSIS IN PROBABILISTIC SEISMIC SAFETY ASSESSMENT OF NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS. FUZZY SET LOGIC WILL BEUSED FOR COLLECTING, QUANTIFYING AND PROPAGATING SUBJECTIVE,ENGINEERING JUDGEMENT USED IN THE UNCERTAINTY ANALYSIS. IN PHASE I, FEASIBILITY OF THE PROPOSED APPROACH WILL BE DEMONSTRATED BY APPLYING IT TO SELECTED PARTS OF A PROBABI ...

The project objectives are to develop and evaluate a generic methodology foremission control of a wide variety of air toxic particulate using a revolutionarybreakthrough in filtration technology based on the recently developed BoundaryLayer Momentum Transfer (BLTM) concept. This novel filter is designed to augmentand substantially improve separate conventional toxic treatment/ reclamationmethodol ...

Diesel engines are widely used due to their high fuel efficiency. However, conventional diesel engines have high NOx and soot emissions. Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) for NOx reduction is less accepted by the construction industry due to complexity and cost. In-cylinder NOx reduction is more desirable. When low temperature combustion and/or premixed charge compression ignition (PCCI) combus ...

Cryptosporidium, originating from contamination of public drinking water supplies, ponds, rivers, or swimming pools, have cause large-scale and deadly outbreaks, which became a major cause of waterborne infectious diseases. Since 1991, the percent of outbreaks attributable to Cryptosporidium has doubled, and in the 1993-1994 period, 17 percent of all outbreaks were caused by Cryptosporidium. In 19 ...

All levels of government and law enforcement are making plans to contain the effects of a terrorist attach using CBW agents. An important containment strategy is to enable emergency response personnel (police, fire fighters, etc.) to neutralize the threat using decontamination methods. The two primary decontamination solutions used by the military are supertropical bleach and DS2, neither of whi ...
