Monitoring network for methane emissions
SBC: MESA PHOTONICS LLC Topic: 2CMethane (CH4) is the second most important greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide (CO2). Human activity related radiative forcing by methane accounts for about half of that caused by CO2. In the U.S., the largest industrial source of CH4 is oil and gas systems. Fugitive sources are often identified as potentially large sources of CH4 emissions; however, multiple measurement challenges inhibit more co ...

Development of ‘Smart’ Polymer Nanofiber Mats for Selective and Efficient Removal of PFAS from Wastewater
SBC: POLYKALA TECHNOLOGIES LLC Topic: 19NCERP2This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will perform some needed tests for commercialization of the highly PFAS-selective nanofiber mats fabricated from electrospun polymer nanofibers. The Phase I results have shown the proof of concept for two materials developed for the removal of PFOA and PFOS with over 91% efficiency at very high concentrations (ppm level) and 99% at lo ...

Storage Tank Abatement of Methane using Persistent Emissions Detection (STAMPED)
SBC: SPECTRAL SENSOR SOLUTIONS, LLC Topic: 2FApproximately 25% of all anthropogenic generated methane comes from the oil and gas industry, and it is estimated that ~6% of those emissions are from storage tanks used in the production phase. Methane has a shorter lifetime in the atmosphere but has a significantly greater warming potential than carbon dioxide on short time scales. The emissions from these storage tanks are not well known, and n ...

Point of Source Sewage Treatment Device
SBC: FHNC LTD. CO. Topic: 20OSAPE1BFats, oils and greases (FOGs) cause 75% of sewer systems in the US to operate at 50% capacity, cost US cities over $20 billion in sewer maintenance, and cause over 40,000 sewer overflows annually. Most commercial kitchens are required by law to remove FOGs with a grease interceptor from wastewater before emitting into public sewers. In order to reduce sewer maintenance costs and overflows while in ...

Infrared Hyperspectral Microscope for Rapid Characterization of Microplastics
SBC: OPTICSLAH, LLC Topic: 19NCER1AThe EPA has identified a need for new methods and instrumentation to characterize size, shape, and composition of microplastics, especially in the size range of 1 µm – 1 mm. To meet the needs identified by EPA, we propose development of a portable sensor for improved microplastic sampling and characterization useable at remote measurement sites or fixed installations. The sensor would be connec ...

Compact High-Performance Sulfur Dioxide Monitor
SBC: MESA PHOTONICS LLC Topic: 19NCER2BSulfur dioxide (SO2) is one of the six "criteria" pollutants listed in the Clean Air Act that are regulated under the EPA National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). SO2 is the most abundant anthropogenic sulfur compound in the troposphere, and is mainly emitted through coal and petroleum combustion, petroleum refining, and metal smelting operations. Although national ambient air quality trend ...

Real Time Monitoring using Infrared Lasers and Ultraviolet LEDs to Prevent Food Waste
SBC: OPTICSLAH, LLC Topic: 19NCER5BTo monitor the freshness of fresh produce in storage and during transportation, we propose using a gas sensor based on swept]wavelength broadly tunable external cavity quantum cascade lasers (EQCCLs).These sensors detect, identify, and quantify multiple chemical species in the airspace near the sensor continuously and in real]time, with part]per]billion level sensitivity. The sensors will ...

Development of “Smart” Polymer Nanofiber Mats for Selective and Efficient Removal of PFAS from Landfill Leachate
SBC: POLYKALA TECHNOLOGIES LLC Topic: 18NCER1CIn addressing Topic 1C in this solicitation, “Innovative pretreatment technologies for PFAS in industrial wastewater”, this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will develop a novel nanofiber mats fabricated by electrospun polymer nanofibers for the “smart” (selective) removal of perand polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from landfill leachate. The co-contaminants, low ...

Industrial Process Pollution Reduction by Development of Amorphous Biogenic Silica to Replace Fumed Silica
SBC: SioTeX Corporation Topic: 14NCER1AFumed silica is an important additive in many products including paints, plastics and tires, but it is produced by an energy-intensive costly, toxic and hazardous process. SioTex has developed a superior triple green replacement for fumed silica that produces no toxic waste, uses little energy, and is inexpensive. Our patent pending technology uses rice hulls, a bio-waste, as the feedstock. Us ...

Inexpensive High Performance Continous Ammonia Monitor
SBC: VISTA PHOTONICS, INC. Topic: 13NCERD1The overall goal of this Project is to develop an innovative inexpensive optical technology and rugged and portable instrumentation for highly sensitive, selective, continuous measurement of atmospheric ammonia for air pollution monitoring. Environmental studies have proven that ammonia presents a significant environmental hazard; therefore, accurate monitoring and control of NH3 concentration is ...
