Advanced Concept for Waste Gas Pollution Control

这是一个支持研究使用高能电子束来减少燃烧过程中排放的气体中的污染物的奖项。该项目的目的是充分全面地论证这一概念的技术可行性，以确定其经济可行性和商业潜力。任务包括设计、制造和运行处理模拟废气的实验系统；进行实验以确定污染物浓度随剂量减少的情况，并确定在应用该过程中产生的产品；进行理论分析，以建立将这一概念应用于工程设计的模型；以及为能够以每秒5,000升的气体流速运行的全规模处理系统开发概念设计。导致这一建议的提案是根据国家科学基金第90-61169号补助金进行的第一阶段小企业创新研究项目的完成，在该项目中，这一概念的科学可行性得到了证明。这一第二阶段的奖项是根据NSF 90-31《小型企业创新研究》(SBIR)中包含的程序颁发的。

This is an award to support research on the use of a beam of high energy electons to reduce the emission of pollutants in gases emitted from combustion processes. The objective of this project is to provide a sufficiently comprehensive demonstration of the concept's technical feasibility to determine its economic viability and commercial potential. Tasks include design, fabrication and operation of an experimental system to process simulated exhaust gases; experiments to characterize reduction in pollutant concentrations as a function of dose and to identify products produced during application of the process; performance of theoretical analyses to establish models for application of the concept to engineering design; and development of a conceptual design for a full-scale processing system capable of operating at a gas flow-rate of 5,000 liters per second. The proposal leading to this recommendation results from completion of a Phase I, Small Business Innovation Research project conducted under NSF Grant No. 90-61169 in which the scientific feasibility of this concept was demonstrated. This Phase II award was made in accord with procedures contained in Program Solicitation NSF 90-31, Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR).
