The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $524,307 SBIR Phase I grant to Pure Spun Innovations (PSI) to develop an innovative water purification technology using NASA-validated vapor compression distillation. The goal of the project is to create a scalable, energy-efficient system capable of efficiently removing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from wastewater and recycled water sources. This technology would help wastewater treatment plants comply with...
This $199,998 Project Grant from the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Research and Development to The University of North Carolina at Charlotte will support the development of a regenerable, low-cost cellulose nanofiber membrane system for point-of-use water purification cartridges. The goals of the project are to optimize functionalization of cellulose nanofibers to create novel materials for incorporation into residential water purification cartridges similar to commercially...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $119,998 Project Grant to the University of Arizona under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041) to develop new sorbents that can stabilize per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in sewage sludge. Approximately 55% of the 7.2 million dry metric tons of sewage sludge (biosolids) produced annually in the U.S. is applied as soil amendments and fertilizers in agriculture and land restoration. However, the increasing detection of PFAS in...
This $499,988 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) seeks to develop and validate an integrated sorption-photocatalytic process for the ex-situ treatment and remediation of groundwater contaminated by mixtures of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and chlorinated solvents like trichloroethylene (TCE) and tetrachloroethylene (PCE). The principal investigator and research team at Southern Illinois University Carbondale will...
The Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded a $174,746 Project Grant under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) / Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Program (CFDA 10.212) to Glanris Water Systems Inc., a for-profit manufacturer, to develop a low-cost, easily manufactured modified biochar that can adsorb plant nutrients. The goal is to use this biochar to remediate agricultural runoff and wastewater, removing harmful phosphate and nitrate,...
This $249,998 National Science Foundation Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships project grant funds the development of an advanced biotechnology to treat toxic wastewater produced in the biofuel industry at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University from March 2023 to February 2025. The university aims to demonstrate a pilot-scale bioprocess using a special type of marine microorganism shown in prior bench-scale studies to reduce or remove toxins in wastewater from biofuel...
This federal Cooperative Agreement award, valued at $483,623.40 and funded by the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation under the Water Desalination Research and Development Program (CFDA 15.506), aims to optimize the removal of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from water and wastewater through enhanced coagulation and flocculation processes. The project, led by the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), will investigate the use of hydrophobic ion-pairing as a...
This $996,717 Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program (CFDA 47.084) supports Waihome LLC, a for-profit small business, in developing an affordable and resilient onsite wastewater treatment solution. The project aims to design and pilot test an above-ground treatment unit that utilizes a symbiotic algal-bacterial biofilm to provide high-quality aerobic wastewater treatment, addressing issues with the performance and...
This federal Cooperative Agreement award, valued at $1,875,000.00 and granted by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (CFDA 81.089 - Fossil Energy Research and Development), aims to develop a process to make the treatment of oil and gas produced water for beneficial use economically feasible. The project will characterize produced water from specific sites, including the Marcellus and Utica areas, and develop a multi-step treatment process combining...
This $175,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) / Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Program (CFDA 10.212) will fund TDA Research, Inc.'s development of a new class of biodegradable carbon dioxide sorbent materials based on kraft lignin waste. The sorbents will have increased CO2 absorption capacity to enable cost-effective capture of CO2 from industrial flue gases and direct air capture applications. This work supports...
