Development of an Atmospheric Plasma Generator for Nitrogen Fixation in Air
SBC: AQUANIS, INC. Topic: C5427bThe conventional nitric acid manufacturing method uses natural gas as a feedstock for hydrogen and an energy intensive thermal process that emits a large amount of carbon dioxide. A new low-temperature plasma system, which can be driven electrically by a renewable or nuclear energy source, could reduce the energy consumed by the synthesis of nitric acid while eliminating the emission of greenhouse ...

Next Generation Microlayer Annular Co-Extrusion
SBC: Guill Tool & Engineering Co, Inc. Topic: C5620cAnnular extruded plastics are in everything from fuel lines, hoses, pipes, and wires to catheters, medical tubing, and stents and makes up about ? of the $200B extruded plastics market. Extrusion manufacturing is a major processor of the $600B raw plastics industry, which produces 380 million metric tons of material each year. The production of these materials accounts for 4% of oil consumption an ...

Development of an Atmospheric Plasma Generator for Nitrogen Fixation in Air
SBC: AQUANIS, INC. Topic: C5427bNitric acid (HNO3) is used to produce fertilizers, explosives, nylons, polyurethanes, and a variety of other industrial chemicals. The state-of-the-art manufacturing method uses methane (CH4) as a feedstock for hydrogen and an energy intensive thermal process that emits a large amount of carbon dioxide. A new low-temperature plasma system, which can be driven electrically by a renewable or nuclear ...

Improved Creep Testing Approach for Bentonite EBS, Phase I
SBC: RESPEC Company, LLC Topic: C5437aProject Description: In the United States, the nuclear reactor contributes 18.7 percent of the nation’s total electricity generation and produces a significant amount of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and high-level waste. Because SNF is being stored for longer periods than initially envisioned, the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Energy, Office of Spent Fuel and Waste Science and Technolo ...

Supersonic Particle Deposition for the Application of a Bimetallic Corrosion Resistant Layer in Nuclear Components
SBC: VRC Metal Systems, LLC Topic: C4513aThe problem being addressed is the expected shortfall in electrical power generation due to decreased supply and increased demand. Many coal-fired power plants are reaching the end of their life and are unlikely to be replaced by new coal fired plants due to emissions. Electrical power demand is expected to increase steadily through year 2050 due to population growth and increased electric vehicle ...

Novel Additive Friction-Stir Deposition Method to Clad Nuclear-Reactor Structural Materials with Corrosion-Resistant Alloys
SBC: NANOCOATINGS INC Topic: C5320aThe Department of Energy requires the development and demonstration of bimetallic or corrosion- resistant surfaces for structural and cooling components in contact with liquid-salt coolants used in nuclear-reactor systems. Proposed coating materials must survive thermo-mechanical loading (e.g., no flaking or spalling) during exposure to the high-temperature conditions encountered during reactor op ...

Development of a Wind Turbine Blade Surface Coating to Reduce Damage due to Lightning
SBC: AQUANIS, INC. Topic: 14bEvery year, the global wind industry loses an estimated $100M or more to damage caused by lightning. A new proprietary blade coating will reduce the damage to wind turbine blades caused by lightning by promoting the formation of ionization channels over the surface of the turbine blades. These channels promote surface flashovers, providing a safe external path for lightning energy to connect to th ...

Thermal Salt Sealing System
SBC: RESPEC Company, LLC Topic: 34aLong-term disposal of nuclear waste continues to be an issue of national and international importance. A 2012 Blue Ribbon Commission report to the Secretary of Energy states, .“..this nation’s failure to come to grips with the nuclear waste issue has already proved damaging and costly and it will be more damaging and more costly the longer it continues….” The proposed thermal salt sealing ...
