Low Energy Comminution of Herbaceous Biomass Feedstocks
SBC: FOREST CONCEPTS LLC Topic: 813Size reduction, or comminution, is a fundamental processing step for lignocellulosic biomass feedstocks used as a raw material for conversion to biofuels. Grinding or milling of herbaceous materials such as corn stover, switchgrass, miscanthus and other biofuel feedstocks consumes a lot of energy, produces particle shapes that are difficult to handle, requires dry raw material, and often results i ...

Advanced Control System for Biofuel Combustion
SBC: ENERTECHNIX, INC. Topic: 81Combustion of biomass, especially in small-scale applications, produces high emissions of particulate matter (PM) that have been linked to adverse health effects and global climate change. Current industrial particulate control solutions are prohibitively expensive for use in small scale biomass burners. To overcome these challenges, inexpensive and effective combustion control solutions for small ...

Electrosedation and rested harvest as strategies to improve the quality of farm-raised fish
SBC: Smith-root, Inc. Topic: 87Traditional chemical sedatives for the processing of farm-raised fish are considered animal drugs that are subject to specific regulations and usage constraints (as well as chemical-bath disposal concerns). As an alternative, we propose to evaluate the use of mild, non-lethal electrosedation techniques to narcotize farm-raised fish in an effort to evaluate the technologys potential to reduce pre-h ...

Enhancing rural small business opportunities by developing a low cost heat source and developing the utilization of char as a soil amendment
SBC: SYNTHIGEN, LLC Topic: 86Rural communities that rely on, and are part of an agricultural-based economy where seed and grain cleaning facilities operate are plentiful in the Pacific Northwest and other parts of the U.S. Creating new opportunities for employment and income generation in these communities is frequently difficult because it can require considerable amounts of capital investment and new market development. We ...

Gravel Mulch Buffers
SBC: Daniel B. Stephens & Associates, Inc. Topic: N/AWater quality and soil erosion are high priority issues for U.S. agriculture. In more humid areas of theU.S., vegetation filter strips have proven to be an effective method of reducing erosion and improvingwater quality. Filter strips are less effective in the West due to sparser vegetation and more variablerainfall. In addition, establishment of vegetation is more difficult in many western wat ...

Diesel Fuel Lubricity Additive From Seed Oil
SBC: International Lubricants Topic: N/AIn order to meet the increasingly stringent air quality goals of the Federal Clean Air Act andAmendments (CAAA) major changes have been made in refining diesel fuel to remove sulfur.While reducing sulfur levels in diesel fuel lowers problematic emissions, it also reduces fuellubricity. Sulfur is an important element in combating wear in fuel injection systems.Hydrotreating the fuel for sulfur red ...

Biocontrol of Botrytis Cinerea on Greenhouse-Grown Ornamentals
SBC: Eden Bioscience Corp.on Topic: N/AFloral production in the United States has an estimated value of over $11 billion. Geraniums and roses together constitute a significant portion of this value. Grey mold, caused by Botrytis cinerea Pers.:Fr. is prevalent and often devastating under the cool, moist conditions which are common in greenhouses where the crops are produced. The fungus attacks all of the above ground portions of the ...

Fiber-Wall-Filled Thin Hardboard from Low Cost Waste Paper
SBC: Fiber Research International, Topic: N/AThe objective of this proposal is the exploration of the feasibility of adapting the fiber-wall-filling technology to improve the properties of wet-process thin hardboard from low-cost waste paper. The patented fiber-wall-filling technology precipitates insoluble inorganic salts within the microporous anatomy of paper fibers. These inorganic depositions comprise the carbonates, silicates, sulfat ...
