Growing the Local Food Economy by Expanding Access to Legal and Regulatory Education for Rural Entrepreneurs and Small Farms
SBC: STARTUP FOOD BUSINESS, INC. Topic: 86Over the past decade the U.S. has experienced substantial growth in the number of new agri- food businesses launched. At the same time rural firms and farms face obstacles impeding theirabilities to fully capitalize on food startup opportunities. A significant barrier to entry is theability to navigate food laws and regulations and legal and regulatory resources for rural foodentrepreneurs are sca ...

Ethylene Permeation in Control of Fruit Ripening
SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: 85All fruits and vegetables generate ethylene.Even low concentrations of ethylene accelerate fruitripening.A process that removes ethylene as it is generated can play a central role in maintainingthe freshness of fruits and vegetables.Hence much effort and significant cost normally go into thecontrol of the atmosphere and temperature to which these fruits and vegetables are exposed largelyto reduce ...

Enhanced Membranes For Sweetening Of Manure Based Biogas
SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: 88Each year over 1 billion tons of animal manure is produced in US and it can be a pollution source if not handled properly. "Anaerobic digestion" is an energy efficient way to dispose manure. Through this process manure is converted to biogas and digestate. The manure digestate can be used as fertilizer. Biogas is a mixture of ~60% CH4, ~40% CO2 and trace amounts of contaminant gasses such as H2S. ...

Development of a Hybrid Fixed Film- Biofloc System for Simplified Inland Production of Shrimp
SBC: AQUACULTURE SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGIES, L.L.C. Topic: 87This proposed SBIR effort focuses on the manipulation of the suspended growth solids to stabilize biofloc systems used to produce marine shrimp in tanks. This will be accomplished by imposition of floating bead clarifiers on the biofloc process. The bead filters will pneumatically harvest, aerate, and return biofloc (wasting the balance) to obtain a biofloc at the correct suspended solids level an ...

Enhanced Membranes for Dewatering of Black Liquor
SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: 81Compact Membrane Systems (CMS) proposes to employ membrane systems for pressure-driven separation of water from black liquor to replace the first two stages of existing multiple-effect evaporators. This is a promising approach to considerably reduce the steam energy required for concentration. Membrane materials must withstand high temperature, high salinity and high pH conditions. Fouling of the ...

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 Cool Processing of Value Added Beverages
SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: N/AOsmotic distillation is an excellent method for highly concentrating thermally sensitive liquids at low temperatures. However, commercial success of this process has been limited due to lack of membrane stability during the processing of economically interesting liquids. We believe that our high flux, non-porous perfluoromembrane is an ideal candidate for OD in that it has high flux rates and will ...

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 ...
