ERDC Innovation
• Enable enzyme activity in extreme conditions with a protective hydrogel that resists heat, pH, and chemicals
• Reduce risk and delays by allowing earlier, safer deployment in hazardous environments
• Support diverse applications from industrial clean-up to manufacturing and chemical spill response
• Accommodates future upgrades with support for evolving tech needs
• Adapts to varied environments using an adjustable suspension for shock and payload flexibility
• Reduces footprint with a compact, customizable design and integrated cooling
• Eliminates errors introduced by contact during material characteristic measurements by using collimated light
• Can be extended with additional environmental sensors, such as a clock, thermometer, hygrometer, or environmental control systems
• Measurements can be taken from the top or bottom of the strip and the material is not limited to two layers.
• External maintenance via human intervention not required
• Shorter downtime leads to an estimated 10x decrease in operational costs
• Offers scalability via a compact footprint for continuous water treatment and higher daily flow-through volumes
• Potential to significantly reduce operational costs
• Eliminates the need for inorganic coagulants
• Scalable
• Economical
• Advantageous use of B. subtilis
• Recovers water using less than 40 watt-hours of energy per gallon
• Adjustable airstream (speed and temperature) to optimize energy usage
• Scalable and adaptable for broad applications
• 3D printed kit-of-parts for rigid, protective shelter
• Designed to be lightweight, reusable and easily transportable
• Easy to assemble and disassemble on-site
• No tools required
• Multiple configurations for broad applications
• Improves the safety and extends the life of concrete structures
• Reinforces concrete joints up to sixfold
• Protects from salt corrosion
• Reduces the need for costly maintenance and repair
• Custom-build any structure, any size, on-site in a fraction of the time
• Reduces shipping of building materials by half
• Reduces manpower requirements by 62% as compared to plywood
