Paradigm Emissions Technologies, Inc. received a $256,000 Small Business Innovation Research Phase I Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Industrial Innovation under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program. The grant funds research and development of a non-thermal plasma reactor system to destroy over 95% of particulate emissions from diesel exhaust. If successful, the technology has potential to reduce harmful particulate pollutants from diesel vehicle fleets and power plant smokestacks. The project aims to develop materials and components that allow a non-thermal plasma reactor to withstand the 650°C temperatures and high exhaust flows within a diesel engine's main exhaust stream. The proposed solution would treat 100% of particulate emissions, improving upon existing diesel particulate filter technologies prone to clogging. The award period is from April 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022.
