Media & Process Technology Inc. was awarded a $500,000 Project Grant from the Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (CFDA 81.135) to demonstrate the technical feasibility and energy savings potential of a non-evaporative substrate drying process using supercritical carbon dioxide extraction combined with ceramic membrane ultrafiltration. The two-year award, issued on September 9, 2022, will support development of a process to dewater wet substrates without evaporation through surfactant-assisted supercritical carbon dioxide extraction and downstream high-pressure regeneration and recycling of the supercritical carbon dioxide using ceramic membrane filtration. If successful, this novel approach could significantly reduce energy costs and increase efficiency for industrial substrate drying applications compared to conventional evaporation methods.

Media & process technology INC. New sbir/sttr under DE-FOA-0001954 (seed) with the project title, ''supercritical fluid based wet substrate dewatering without evaporation.'' to demonstrate the technical feasibility and enormous energy and cost savings potential of a non-evaporative substrate drying process based upon surfactant assisted supercritical CO2 (SCCO2) extraction combined with downstream ceramic membrane based ultrafiltration for high pressure regeneration and recycle of SCCO2.
