TASK 1: Sulfate Removal from Groundwater Associated with Sulfide Mineralization
Research, prioritize, develop and demonstrate an innovative and cost effective technology that employs or replaces conventional water treatment methods for the removal of sulfate from groundwater and/or surface water primarily derived from sulfide mineralization.
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: Brackish Water Pretreatment
Develop and demonstrate a low-cost, energy efficient, simple and reliable system for use in brackish water pretreatment for electrodialysis reversal (EDR) and reverse osmosis (RO).
TASK 4: Tomato Stem Scar and Tissue Removal
Develop a simple and practical means of aseptically removing the stem scar and underlying tomato tissue quickly and efficiently from tomatoes.
TASK 5: Wind-2-H2O:Converting Wind Energy to Mechanical Energy for Water Treatment
Develop and demonstrate a technology/prototype that will convert wind energy directly to mechanical energy that can be used to treat brackish ground water to drinking water quality.
TASK 6: Zero Waste (chemical/solid) Facility
For a semiconductor facility located in Albuquerque, NM with input streams and waste streams research and develop a proposal to minimize chemical and solid waste from the facility, striving for zero waste. Demonstrate your technology for two designated waste streams (one will be chemical and one will be solid) in your bench scale.
