In summary, the aim of this pilot-scale project was to assess bioenergy production for two identical MFCs used for wastewater treatment in order to determine the optimal configuration and operational efficiency of these units from both a SIDS water quality and energy production perspective.
Finally, pilot-scale projects were incorporated to generate preliminary data for several additional applications, including a comparison of methods for transcript profiling and analysis, examination of antisense and intron transcription, chromatin immunoprecipitation studies, expression of selected host genes, and polymorphism detection in highly variable genes.
With the support of the Advanced Research Projects Agency Energygy (ARPA-E) of the US Department of Energy (USDOE), a 250 kWth high pressure SCL pilot scale demonstration project was initiated for processing syngas to cogenerate pure H2 and sequestration-ready CO2 from a Kellogg Brown & Root gasifier at the National Carbon Capture Center.
Electricity use is reduced from 288 kWh/T-shirt (laboratory scale) to 17 kWh/T-shirt (pilot scale) and is projected to improve to 0.21 kWh/T-shirt (commercial scale).
Pilot scale and distribution system research projects have shown that asbestos cement (AC) pipes can be protected from dissolution and leaching effects that can result in release of asbestos fibers into drinking water.
In order to build confidence in CO2 storage as greenhouse gas control activity, it is vital to learn from the experience gained from first-mover projects, at the pilot scale and at the demonstration scale.
Wide ranges of potential BMV technologies available are currently tested in CCS pilots and industrial scale projects.
A number of pilot scales subsurface drainage projects undertaken by CSSRI Karnal (Haryana), India, during 1980s have slowly paved the way for communication of large-scale mechanically installed drainage projects in Haryana, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Punjab, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Karnataka.
Between April 2010 and December 2011, a research project was conducted at a pilot scale landfill in the south of Germany.
The project studied two commercially available submerged MBR systems at pilot scale.
In its current state of development, the project can now start to demonstrate the MELiSSA loop concept at pilot scale.
