Poulain - Hg Reduction using anoxygenic bacteria

MERCURY CLEAN UP This technology transforms mercury from the toxic form typically present in waste (Hg[2]) to its gaseous form that can be easily trapped (Hg[0]). It includes a bioreactor and methods to clean up soil contamination, or industrial effluent, using common bacteria that already exist in the environment. Details:Our bioreactor has been optimized...

Fault detection for Gearboxes and Bearings

This software system detects faults at a much earlier stage than current systems, allowing the operator to better optimize system maintenance. Early detection of faults in gearboxes and bearings is crucial in order to minimize expensive repairs with significant down time. Our first application for this technology is in wind turbines. Dr. Ming Liang...

Efficient Cooling for Refrigeration, Ventilation, and Industrial Process

This evaporative cooling system provides a compact heat sink for chillers used in ventilation, appliances, and industrial process. The cooling systems includes a standard condenser set up that is cooled using evaporation rather than ambient air, and therefore efficiency is not reduced in hot environments. This membrane system brings the benefits of...
