ERDC Innovation
• In situ detection/removal of MEC from water in concentrations as low as one part per million
• Reaches final color and intensity after just 24 hours of exposure
• Scalable to treat larger bodies of water such as rivers, as well as small ponds and runoffs
• Uses abundant and inexpensive AFC materials
• Reusable
• 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
• Reduces PFAS concentrations in water to non-detectable levels
• Allows for remote monitoring and operation
• Easily transported with medium-sized forklift
• Directional sensing without the need for heavy shielding
• Small and lightweight with low power requirements compared to state of the art
• Strong signal-to-noise ratio
• Field-ready
• Breaks target contaminants down into benign products
• Relies on non-toxic, earth-abundant photocatalysts with filterable particle diameters (> 0.1 μm)
• Uses energy-efficient solar radiation
• Degrades nitrobenzene & carbamazepine at rates equal to that of existing commercial systems
• On-site detection of RDX & NTO in soil and water samples
• Fast-acting: binds to over 50% of available RDX & NTO in just one hour
• Achieves nearly 100% of the theoretical binding capacity
• Streamlined process for detecting explosives in soil, water, or tissue samples
• Simultaneously detects traditional TNT and newer IMX
• Single column analysis yields faster results
• Reduces cost by using less solvent
• In-situ treatment for contaminated subsurface soil and groundwater
• Removes > 95% of TNT and NB
• Reduces chlorinated propane concentrations to non-detectable levels
• Utilizes inexpensive ammonia gas
• Environmentally friendly
• Instantly senses turbidity, temperature, conductivity, pH, oxidation reduction, dissolved oxygen, free chlorine, and more
• Wireless transmission
• Easy-to-use touch screen display
• Portable
• Remote monitoring
