This SBIR Phase I project, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program, aims to develop an advanced thermal oxidizer technology to cost-effectively control greenhouse gas emissions, specifically methane, as well as toxic/carcinogenic organic compounds and odors from small emission sources. The $256,657 award to Rotoheater LLC, awarded on February 15, 2024, will support research and development into a novel, patent-pending, continuous heat regeneration system for a thermal oxidizer. This system is designed to significantly reduce the size, complexity, and cost of existing pollution control technologies, enabling their broader application to small emission sources that cannot be effectively controlled using current methods. The project seeks to improve human health, well-being, and the environment by reducing air pollution from these numerous, often locally-concentrated small sources.
