Ambient Temperature Oxidation Catalyst for Ethylene Control in Fresh Produce Containers
SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC. Topic: 813The respiration of fresh fruits and vegetables (FF & V) converts oxygen from the surrounding atmosphere into carbon dioxide, moisture and ethylene. While ethylene is used under controlled conditions as a ripening agent, the presence of even small amounts of ethylene gas in shipping and storage containers causes most fresh produce to deteriorate faster, potentially spoiling it before it reaches the ...

Sustainable Green Diesel Production: Upgrading Biomass Waste Pyrolysis Oil
SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC. Topic: 88The explosive growth of biofuels in recent years has shown that there is great potential for biomass to be a raw material for the production of transportation fuels. Possibly the most economical means to produce biofuels is by the liquification of biomass (fast pyrolysis) and subsequent upgrading. This method is also potentially the most sustainable, provided the feedstock is produced sustainably. ...

Biobased and Biodegradable Impact Modifier for Completely Renewable Bioplastic
SBC: PolyNew, Inc Topic: 88The now rapidly developing field of plastic materials based on renewable resources (bioplastics) provides tremendous opportunities to sustain and enhance the domestic plastics industries, the fourth largest manufacturing sector of the American economy. In addition, bioplastic materials are derived from agricultural materials and will help reduce the U.S. dependence on foreign oil Growth in the use ...

Enhancing Biosynthesis of Biofuels from Cellulosic Biomass
SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: 88There continues to be a need for production of biofuels from agricultural sources. Butanol is a more attractive fuel than ethanol because it leads to better gas mileage, it achieves higher blends with gasoline than bioethanol, it has greater compatibility with existing fuel infrastructure, it is less volatile, it is more amenable to transport via pipeline due to low water absorption, there is no n ...

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 ...

Prototyping NUGGET: A Nutrient and Greenhouse Gas Evaluation Tool
SBC: APPLIED GEOSOLUTIONS LLC Topic: N/AFarmers, crop consultants, and regulators are constantly faced with management/policy decisions that require the integration of current crop and soil conditions, and current and future weather conditions. Farmers and crop consultants must make these management decisions within a regulatory environment that is becoming more restrictive and complex. Regulators are forced to make policy recommendatio ...

Enhanced Control of Fruit Ripening
SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: N/AEthylene is a growth hormone for fruits and vegetables that is generated by the plants themselves; that is, it acts as a self-ripening agent. Hence, the removal of ethylene gas can play a central role in maintaining the freshness of these products. Whereas the temperature and the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide gases are also important system variables that demand a significant economic invest ...

Enhanced Performance of Agriculture Based Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluids
SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: N/AA. Water must be removed from biodegradable hydraulic fluids as they react with water and degrade insitu. B. Biodegradable hydraulic fluids for farm equipment provide a significant improvement over traditional petroleum based fluids due to decreased pollution. Increase the use and value of biodegradable hydraulic fluids by development of a membrane-based dewatering system.

Agricultural Emissions Reduction Using Bio-Fuels with Membrane Supplied Nitrogen
SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: N/AThe use of biodiesel offers significant advantages with regards to the reduction of total harmful engine emissions with the exception of NOx. Biodiesel is a renewable resource and soybean oil is known to be economically viable as a biodiesel fuel. Recent studies from the Environmental Protection Agency have shown that soybean oil alone or blended with #2 diesel fuel results in a significant decrea ...

Ammonia Point Sensor for Intensive Livestock Operations
SBC: ELTRON RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT, INCORPORATED Topic: N/AEfficient, cost-effective systems are not currently available for the continuous sensing of dangerous, noxious gases, such as ammonia, in the intensive livestock operation (ILO) environment. Development of these sensors will provide information for the regulation of ventilation and protection of animal and worker health. The purpose of this project is to develop a sensor that will result in increa ...
