Contamination of drinking water with pathogenic microorganisms such as Cryptosporidium has become an increasing concern in recent years. Cryptosporidium oocysts particularly are problematic, because infections caused by this organism can be life threatening in immunocompromised patients. Current methods for monitoring and analyzing water often are laborious and require expertise. In addition, m ...

The Bush Administration recently proposed a 90 percent reduction of air pollution emissions from off-road diesel equipment. The Administration indicated that diesel emissions are responsible for large amounts of particulate and NOx emissions from off-road construction, farm, mining, and locomotive and marine engines. A primary approach used to reduce NOx emissions is exhaust gas recirculation (E ...

The state of affairs facing engineers and scientist attempting to treat low level contaminated water using current technologies results in the selection of a process that has significant shortcomings. A technically superior, yet operationally simpler treatment process within a reduced cost bracket is needed to assist industries in meeting ever changing environmental regulations. One of KenGro¿s ...

Development of the basic EMAT-based transverse rail defect detector has progressed toward finished form, as envisioned in the original solicitation. This modification is intended to produce a demonstrable version of a 2-rail detection system with automated signal interpertation.

Conventional wastewater and groundwater cleanup technologies all have inherent limitations associated with costs, performance, and operational protocols. Clearly, new processes that can reduce costs, maintain or even improve treatment, and reduce technical complexity will be a great asset to the environmental engineering community. The KenGro Corporation proposes to develop an innovat ...

The current flue gas purification technologies are expensive, energy intensive, and secondary pollution generating. Most of these technologies only remove a single pollutant from flue gases. For example, the prevailing limestone-based scrubber not only is expensive and energy consuming, but also generates a large amount of liquid and solid wastes. The goal of the Phase I research proj ...

The SBIR Phase I research project was very successful. Field results in commercial applications showed an operational air/volatile organic compound (VOC) selectivity of 27. Performance surpassed the California Air Resource Board (CARB) emissions goal. Equally as important, Compact Membrane Systems, Inc. (CMS) demonstrated further membrane improvements with a novel membrane product conc ...
