Stabilizing Hydraulic Fluid by Removing Water
SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: 21In the electrical power, steel production, and aluminum production industries, flame retardant, phosphate-ester hydraulic fluids are used to minimize fires. Although these fluids accomplish the fire-minimization task, they are unstable, which causes performance to suffer with attendant losses in productivity. This project will develop novel, chemically-resistant high-flux membranes that can remo ...

Enhanced Distillation via Membranes for Elimination of Trapped Water
SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: 21Distillation is a major chemical unit operation and consumer of significant energy. Often, water or another intermediate boiling component can become trapped within the distillation column and accumulate. This causes various operating difficulties such as flooding, slugging, cycling, instability, and an off-spec product. This project will develop a chemically resistant, non-porous water-venting ...

Novel Platform for Enhanced Membrane Reactors for Homogeneous Catalysis
SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: 23Catalysis plays a substantial role in the synthesis of the most U.S. commodity chemicals, with huge implications for energy usage. Membrane reactors have been proposed for a number of these syntheses. However, to be competitive with conventional technologies, membrane reactors must demonstrate better selectivity, permeability, and/or stability. This project will develop a novel platform with ke ...

Drying Pipeline Fuel Grade Ethanol
SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: 33The use of ethanol as a fuel would impact U.S. reliance on foreign oil. However, among the economic obstacles to it widespread use are the costs of shipping fuel-grade ethanol by truck. Shipping ethanol by pipeline would be significantly less expensive, but, unfortunately, pipeline ethanol is hydroscopic, which causes too much water to be present in the fuel. This project will develop a simple, ...

Integrated Scalable Parallel Firewall and Instrusion Detection System for High-Speed Networks
SBC: Great Wall Systems Topic: 44A number of simulataneous trends (ever-increasing network speeds and throughput, escalating sophistication of attacks, regulatory initiatives, and integration of networks within and without the enterprise) can cause both bottlenecks and quality-of-service degradation within the firewalls of computing systems used by the DOE and large corporations. This project will develop an advanced, scalable, ...

Improved Carbon Sequestration with Biofuels Production in Managed Hyrbid Poplar Farms
SBC: GREENWOOD RESOURCES, INC. Topic: 12Hybrid poplar farms are capable of sequestering significant quantities of atmospheric carbon dioxide. The rate of carbon sequestration by hybrid poplar could be further increased by selecting for clones that prolong the peak period of annual biomass increment and store more carbon in soil resources. Also, new, no-till farming techniques, along with the marketing of harvest residues, could increa ...

Novel Microbial Hydrogen Production from Biomass Containing Waste Water
SBC: ION POWER, INC Topic: 12The treatment of waste water consumes a significant amount of energy, in order to reduce the organic matter to levels safe for environmental discharge. This project will develop a novel microbial-based approach to convert the organic matter in waste water into a valuable commodity, namely hydrogen. This approach would simultaneously clean the waste water and produce a fuel that can be sold to he ...

The Capture and Sequestration of Methane for Subsequent Conversion to Higher Valued Alcohols
SBC: Orbit Energy Incorporated Topic: 13The escape of methane into the atmosphere has been identified as a major component for global warming. Compared to carbon dioxide, methane is capable of absorbing 21 times more heat. Therefore, the methane generated at sites such as coal mines, farms, and landfills must be sequestered and stored to prevent further complications of global warming. To ameliorate these methane issues, a High Solid ...

rDistributor- Remote Distribution of Complete Application Environments
SBC: Rpath, Inc. Topic: 46Large-scale, grid computing platforms, consisting of thousands of systems distributed across hundreds of computing facilities around the world, are needed for intensive scientific computing. Such grid computing platforms require tools that enable the rapid packaging, distribution, and installation of the necessary application software environment on systems in widely distributed computing facilit ...

Fuel Cell Membrane Measurement System for Manufacturing
SBC: Scribner Associates Incorporated Topic: 20Before fuel cells will be adopted by the automotive market, the cost of proton exchange membrane (PEM) materials must be reduced through improved manufacturing quality control and quality assurance. In particular, tools and standard protocols are needed to measure keystone membrane properties: conductivity and fuel permeability. This project will develop a robust, simple membrane measurement sy ...
