Recovery Act - Development of Advanced Transport Membrane Condenser for Energy/Water Recovery from Industrial Waste/Process Streams
Summary:
Significant heat, as well as water vapor of fuel combustion, is lost through industrial exhaust streams; Media and Process Technology developed new membranes to condense the water vapor and capture considerable heat of industrial process exhaust. The technical innovation of the exhaust heat and water recovery membranes includes the development of new ceramic and composite materials with durability in many potential industrial applications.

Title:
Recovery Act - A No Phase Change Process to Replace Distillation in Biodiesel Production
Summary:
Distillation is required to meet the proposed cold soak test specification for biodiesel in the US, resulting in tremendous energy consumption on the order of 1.6 trillion BTU/year per billion gallons of biodiesel produced. The technology proposed by Media and Process Technology Inc. will deliver on-spec biodiesel, replace energy intensive distillation, save biodiesel producers hundreds of millions of dollars per year, and promote job growth in this green industry.
