SBIR Phase I: Compact and Portable Chlor-Alkali Generator for Emergency Response

这个小型企业创新研究第一阶段项目旨在开发和展示一种紧凑和便携式的氯碱发电机，用于应急行动。将开发一种便携式系统，它使用电化学反应器以紧凑的方式高效地产生氯和烧碱。这些产品可以结合在一起产生次氯酸盐，为应急人员提供现场生产的一系列化学反应物，可用于消毒水或净化表面。在第一阶段计划期间，我们将开发和演示紧凑型反应堆，最终形成原型设计，该设计将在第二阶段的后续工作中开发。应急人员需要改进方法，以便迅速对这些暴露区域进行消毒或净化。尤其重要的是为灾区提供更好的饮用水质量，同时加快建筑物、人员和设备的净化。我们紧凑型电化学反应器技术的扩展也可能应用于为娱乐和军事士兵消毒水的较小单位。

This Small Business Innovative Research Phase I project aims to develop and demonstrate a compact and portable chlor alkali generator for emergency response operations. A portable system that uses an electrochemical reactor to generate chlorine and caustic soda efficiently in a compact manner will be developed. These products may be combined to produce hypochlorite giving the emergency responder a range of chemical reactants produced on-site that can be used for disinfecting water or decontaminating surfaces. During the Phase I program, we will develop and demonstrate the compact reactor culminating in a prototype design that will be developed in a Phase II follow-on effort. Emergency response personnel need improved methods to disinfect or decontaminate such exposed areas quickly. Of particular importance is providing improved water quality for consumption in disaster areas along with quicker decontamination of buildings, personnel, and equipment. Extensions of our compact electrochemical reactor technology may also be applied toward smaller units for disinfecting water for recreational and military soldiers.
