Systems, technological transportation

Several developers, including Nuvera, Honeywell, and Plug Power are active in the development for residential PEFC power systems. Most of the PEM system technology can be adapted for APU application, except that a fuel processor capable of handling transportation fuels is required. However, most of the players in the residential PEFC field are also engaged in the...

The low-temperature thermal aeration (ETTA) technology is a thermal desorption process that separates chlorinated hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), semivolatile organic compounds (S VOCs), pesticides, and petroleum hydrocarbons from soils at temperatures of 300 to 800° F. This technology uses hot air to desorb contaminants from soil into a contained airstream and treats the airstream before discharging it to the atmosphere. The system is transportable and consists of six major components assembled on flat-bed trailers. The entire system and support areas require approximately 10,000 ft of operating space. 

Table 1 shows the vendor s cost comparison between the molecular bonding system technology and hazardous waste land filling. The data compares stabilization costs with transportation and disposal costs (D15306A, p. 3). 

There are commercial blast mitigation devices available which are potentially applicable to the destruction of recovered CWM. Nabco Incorporated is a manufacturer of containment vessels. Their standard system is transportable and qualified to contain 10 pounds of C4. Nabco also has a new vessel designed to withstand 26 pounds of C4. Shielding Technologies, Inc. and Weatherly-Dynasafe also manufacture comparable systems. The challenge involved with utilizing these systems lies in assured destruction of the explosive and the subsequent detoxification of the containment vessel. 

Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are among the most promising clean power system technologies being developed for transportation applications. The introduction of this new...

The EDS is a mature technology for chemical agent destruction and has been demonstrated in the United States. It has been shown to be capable of processing the types of munitions that are associated with Requirement P-1. Agent is destroyed to acceptable levels. The system is transportable. 

The Army has a number of options available for the treatment of NSCWM. They include the use of facilities designed to treat both non-stockpile and stockpile CWM, the use of mobile systems that can be incorporated into a facility or transported to the site of a find, and individual treatment technologies. Like mobile systems, individual treatment technologies may be incorporated into a larger entity such as a facility or mobile system or transported to the site of a find. This chapter examines these options, or tools, and, where appropriate, presents the committee s findings and recommendations related to their use. Each facility, mobile system, and individual technology is examined from the standpoint of its current status, as well as technical, RAP, and public involvement issues. An overview of the options for treating NSCWM considered in this chapter appears in Table 2-1. 

The EDS is a trailer-mounted mobile system that is intended to destroy explosively configured chemical warfare munitions that are deemed to be unsafe to transport or store routinely. It can also be used to destroy limited numbers of stable chemical munitions, with or without explosive components, when the quantity of these munitions does not require the use of other higher-capacity destruction systems. Technologies to destroy EDS secondary wastes were reviewed in an earlier report (NRC, 2001b). The EDS is described in Appendix E. 

Drug delivery systems (DDS) refer to systems for transporting a pharmaceutical compound in the body as needed to safely achieve its desired therapeutic effect. A number of significant advances are made in the development of new technologies for DDS in the last few years. 

In technology, we often refer to communication systems, production systems, and transportation systems. Each one can be broken down even more. For example, we could divide a transportation system into land, sea. 

Technological systems include communication systems, production systems, and transportation systems. 

This enterprise is an advanced lithium polymer battery innovator and manufacturer. Divisions include clean transportation, consumer products and more. Electrovaya claims to have >150 global patents on its Lithium Ion SuperPolymer battery technology and associated system technologies. SuperPolymer is basically a novel nanostructured lithium-ion polymer technology platform. It enables more energy to be stored in a smaller space applications are smaller, lighter and more powerful.
