Cost-Effective Biomass Conversion via an Online Carbohydrate Monitoring Device
SBC: ADVANCED MICROLABS, LLC Topic: 88Biomass is a renewable resource with high potential to achieve cost effective, reliable, and environmentally friendly energy to the American consumer, but yet is still deemed inefficient. First, current methodologies only allow conversion of cellulosic materials into biofuel, leaving energy-rich hemicellulosic material unutilized. Second, even though carbohydrate conversion is the focus of biomass ...

Low Cost Fuel Grade Ethanol
SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: 88The membrane drying process for ethanol plants should be of great value in increasing capacity and/or reducing energy consumption for existing ethanol plants. We will manufacture modules of the novel membrane with a commercial partner. A pilot demonstration unit will be constructed and deployed at an actual ethanol plant for demonstrating the membrane process capabilities and advantages.

Enhancing Biosynthesis of Biofuels from Cellulosic Biomass (Topic 8.8)
SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: 88This program will provide low cost routes for biosynthesis of these and many other organics. Using biomass for production of fuels and chemical provides for a domestic, renewable and green route to address our fuel and chemical needs. This program provides a simple and inexpensive route for generating these domestic and renewable products

Regenerable Ethylene Removal
SBC: ELTRON RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT, INCORPORATED Topic: 813Fresh fruit, vegetables, and flowers are transported and stored in refrigerated containers. As the produce ripens, ethylene gas is produced, which further ripens the product and can lead to premature spoilage. Most fruits and vegetables emit ethylene gas which promotes ripening. Certain species, such as apples and bananas, produce more ethylene than others. Elevated ethylene levels can significant ...

Retrofit Emissions Control Technology for Agricultural Diesel Sources
SBC: ELTRON RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT, INCORPORATED Topic: 84Agricultural equipment powered using hydrocarbon fuels emit VOCs, CO, soot, particulates, and NOx. However, controlling and reducing these emissions can impose a heavy economic burden on farmers and the agricultural industry. For example, equipment powered by two cycle engines cannot economically employ catalytic converter technology for highway gasoline and diesel engines. Thus, economic control ...

Lipid-based ELISA test for detection of dairy cattle with Johne`s disease
SBC: ECKSTEIN DIAGNOSTICS, INC. Topic: 83Johne's disease (JD) is a significant problem in animal health, and this is underscored by its identification by the USDA as the most important infectious disease in ruminants and one of the priority diseases for 2009/2010. Infection with MAP usually occurs after birth and infected calves go through a short period with mild or no symptoms during which they shed the bacteria in feces. This short pe ...

Desulfurization of Biogas Derived from Animal Manure
SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC. Topic: 811Farms and dairies generate byproducts containing more than 2 quadrillion Btu of energy per year. This energy is either not used at all or used in old and inefficient processes. Particularly, the use of biogas generated from bio-waste in distributed fuel cell systems presents a realistic, near-term solution that can yield large energy efficiency improvements. However, the biogas often contains rela ...

Low-cost Removal of Dissolved Solids and Fermentation Inhibitors for Cellulosic Ethanol
SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC. Topic: 81While significant progress has been made in the conversion of cellulosic biomass to fuel ethanol, it has not yet been commercialized on a wide-scale because a number of important technical problems remain unsolved. If these challenges can be overcome, cellulosic ethanol is much more promising as a renewable bio-fuel than corn ethanol because it produces a much greater net greenhouse gas (GHG) emis ...

MOVING TOWARD A SUSTAINABLE TO-GO CONTAINER FOR HOT BEVERAGES IN MASS-MARKET FOODSERVICE
SBC: TEA SPOT, THE Topic: 89Within the past 2-3 years, an abundance of "eco-friendly" to-go hot beverage cups have appeared in the marketplace. Upon closer examination, many of these to-go cups for hot drinks have questionable environmental appeal and a strong "green-washing" market spin. The Tea Spot has designed a patent pending to-go system for loose leaf tea. Our plan is to manufacture these to-go systems for coffee and ...

Product Formulation and Process Design for Commercial Production of Soluable Phytosterols
SBC: AKTIV-DRY Topic: N/ACommercially available products rich in phytosterol may now be used to cut serum low-density lipoprotein by as much as 14 percent. Unfortunately, phytosterols are poorly soluble and therefore present unique problems concerning their ability to suppress cholesterol absorption in the gut. This impediment often leads to sub-optimal dosing and poor performance of phytosterol compounds and restricts th ...
