TASK 1: Innovative Technologies for an Existing Commercial Building
Research, prioritize, develop and then demonstrate innovative technologies that can be applied to existing commercial buildings to improve efficiency and reduce its environmental footprint.
TASK 2: Photovoltaic System Performance Indicator
Develop and demonstrate a system to determine that a residential utility-interactive PV system is operating properly and that the ac power output is following the solar power available to the PV array.
TASK 3:Inland Desalination Operation and Disposal in Rural, Isolated Communities
Develop and demonstrate a low-cost, energy efficient, simple and reliable system for use in brackish water reclamation.
TASK 4: Sampling Strategy for Spinach
Develop a simple and practical sampling strategy to detect Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli O157:H7 in spinach destined for bagged salad. The strategy must be cost effective and easily implemented by the grower or processor into an existing system. The focus of this task is to develop a sampling strategy (as opposed to a microbiological method).
TASk 5: Separation of Water from Emulsified Oil
Research, develop, and demonstrate an innovative, cost efficient process; which employs or replaces contemporary processes for maximum recovery of water and oil from an emulsion consisting of 2% oil and 98% water. The emulsion is mixture containing 2% of Cylroll CR55, Cyroll CR65, a foam formation inhibitor – Calcium Formate, and 98% water.
