Acoustic Smart Cement for Well Integrity Diagnostics
SBC: OCEANIT LABORATORIES INC Topic: 19bCementing is an integral part of well construction, providing the seal, protection, and support for the casing to maintain barriers that isolate the well.Wells can experience integrity failure due to structural instability in cemented regions due to subsidence and compaction caused by reservoir depletion over the lifetime of the well.Increased knowledge of cement placement, integrity, and conditio ...

Bottom Feeder- A Highly Maneuverable Autonomous Underwater Vehicle
SBC: Tridentis Advanced Marine Vehicles LLC Topic: 822The Bottom Feeder project is designed to prove out the research done in Phase I using a prototype platform. The prototype will be a full size version of the platform designed during Phase I. The Phase I platform was designed to work in two operational configurations, a highly efficient mode and a highly maneuverable mode, with the ability to switch between them while submerged. The platform is equ ...

Hybrid Membrane Distillation Process for Enhanced Integrated Ethanol Production
SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: 19The conversion of corn and other biomass to fuel grade ethanol not only would reduce U.S. dependence on foreign energy sources but also would be a major industrial application for agricultural products. However, the process of drying the ethanol to fuel grade consumes significant amounts of energy, incurring costs that continue to increase as cost of natural gas increases. This project will deve ...

Hybrid Anti-Fouling Membrane System for Natural Gas Separation
SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: 19The need for natural gas continues to grow, and recent increases in petroleum prices have been paralleled by large increases in the price of natural gas. However, natural gas at the source often has high concentrations of carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, which must be removed. Although existing commercial polymeric membranes (e.g. cellulose acetate and polysulfone) do a good job of sweetenin ...

Low Cost Carbon Fiber Composites for Lightweight Vehicle Parts
SBC: MATERIALS INNOVATION TECHNOLOGIES, LLC Topic: 27The U.S. could significantly reduce oil consumption by decreasing the weight of its automobile fleet, especially by using lightweight carbon composite materials. However, lightweight materials in automobile structures have been problematic for two reasons: (1) the high cost of carbon fiber materials themselves, and (2) the high processing costs of these materials. Although programs exist to red ...
