The U.S. EPA Environmental Technology Verification (ETV) and Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Programs will host a workshop on May 8, 2007, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the EPA Region 6 office in Dallas, Texas. Join us at the workshop to learn about new innovative technology to help solve important environmental issues, such as polluted air, land and water, and the need for cleaner energy. A sampling of the technologies to be discussed includes:
- Diesel retrofit and baghouse filtration for air pollution control
- Fuel cells, microturbines and geothermal systems, as well as low-cost biodiesel production for greener energy
- Stormwater and on-site residential wastewater treatment for protecting water quality
- Grouts, coatings, and linings for water infrastructure rehabilitation
- Mercury emission monitors and immunoassay test kits for better source and ambient air and water monitoring
- Water quality monitors for detecting pathogens and hormonal activity to protect drinking water, source water,
and recreational waters
- Nano-, micro- and ultra-filtration, and reverse osmosis for drinking water treatment, as well as emergency
mobile drinking water treatment units
- Cleaner coating processes for reduced volatile emissions.
State and local agencies, as well as trade associations are collaborating on these projects. Their representatives will discuss how partnerships are key to new technology success and commercialization. ETV and SBIR will showcase on-going technology development and evaluation efforts, propose priority technology categories of interest for the future, and seek input from participants about what new technology areas to pursue. If you are an environmental technology user, regulator or developer, and have ideas for which technologies need to be supported—by funding research and development under SBIR, or by third-party objective testing of commercial-ready technologies under ETV—please plan to participate in this workshop. Environmental professionals from the public and private sectors and the general public are encouraged to attend.
Note: There is no fee to attend this workshop.
