Marine Antifouling Peptide to Prevent Biofouling (2015-066)

This synthetic conopeptide analog, named Miata57, to the noradrenaline (NA) molecule enables antifouling action. This analog could potentially be manufactured and incorporated into commercial epoxy based paints and coatings to deter fouling marine invertebrates from settling, thus preventing biofouling. Marine coatings are used in commercial and military...

Engineered Aquaculture Ecosystem for Managing Wastewater

This aquaculture ecosystem utilizes low RPM paddlewheels to control water flow rate and feed fish waste to algae to reduce eutrophication effects. For every ton of fish produced as much as 66 kilograms of nitrogen waste and 10.5 kilograms of phosphorus waste are produced. The waste feeds plankton and algae, and in excess can lead to blooms and then...

Electron Donors for Environmental Remediation using Rendered Animal Co-Products

Rendered animal co-products can be used as electron donors to stimulate microbial respiration of reducible environmental contaminants including the chlorinated solvent trichloroethylene (TCE) and the metal hexavalent chromium. This strategy allows for inexpensive treatment, and increased contaminant transformation rates. More than 100 million people...

Carbon Dioxide Capture in Cement Manufacturing

The US cement industry produces over 41million metric tons (MMT) of process-related CO2 per year1. That total excludes the CO2 released from the burning of fossil fuel to heat the process. This invention provides a method of capturing much of that CO2 for sale or storage.Using several possible methods, the CO2 may be captured and reintroduced into the...
