Osmotically driven membrane processes(ODMPs) are innovative technologies with applications in water treatment and desalination(forward osmosis, FO), power generation(pressure retarded osmosis, PRO), and dewatering of aqueous solutions(direct osmotic concentration, DOC, and osmotic dilution, ODN). These methods utilize osmotic pressure difference between a dilute feed solution and a concentrated draw solution to induce mass transport of water through semipermeable membranes from the feed stream into the draw solution.

Subject field(s)
  • Experimental Farms
CONT

An experimental farm presents an innovative solution approach for the development of alternative(such as organic) farming through farmer involvement in research. The farmer, or group of farmers, should for the most part be able to independently identify and address agricultural problems through on-farm experiments which are self-designed and implemented. Of special emphasis is that on-farm experiments are incorporated into practical operations, applying the farmer's own equipment.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Fermes expérimentales
CONT

Les fermes expérimentales proposent une approche innovante visant à mettre au point des solutions de remplacement (telles que l'agriculture biologique), en faisant participer les agriculteurs à la recherche. L'agriculteur ou le groupe d'agriculteurs devrait pour l'essentiel être en mesure de recenser indépendamment les problèmes et de les surmonter grâce à des expérimentations à la ferme conçues et menées par lui-même. Il convient en particulier de souligner que les expérimentations à la ferme font partie d'opérations pratiques au cours desquelles l'agriculteur utilise son propre matériel.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Granjas experimentales
CONT

Las granjas experimentales ofrecen un planteamiento innovador para el desarrollo de soluciones agropecuarias alternativas (por ejemplo, orgánicas) mediante la participación del productor agropecuario en la investigación. El productor, o el grupo de productores, por lo general, deberá poder determinar los problemas de su actividad agropecuaria y ocuparse de ellos de forma independiente mediante experimentos realizados en la granja que ellos mismos diseñan y ejecutan. Cabe destacar que estos experimentos se incorporan a las operaciones prácticas empleando el equipo del propio agricultor.

SCG Industries Limited

OBS

SCG specializes in environmental remediation and has focused on groundwater treatment and soil remediation through the development, manufacture, sale and distribution of environmental remediation equipment. For sites where free hydrocarbon product is present in the subsurface, the relatively new bioslurping technology may provide a timely and cost effective remedial solution. SCG has developed an advanced innovative remedial option in which light non-aqueous phase liquids(LNAPLs), hydrocarbon contaminated groundwater and volatile constituents in soil vapours are aggressively captured and subsequently treated in-situ via Multi Phase Vacuum Extraction and Treatment(MPVET). This system is suited for the capture of a full range of petroleum hydrocarbon contaminants(gasoline to heavy oils) and a variety of subsurface conditions(low permeability coupled with low hydraulic yield to moderate permeability coupled with high hydraulic yield).

SCG Industries Limited

OBS

SCG Industries Limited est spécialisée en décontamination et s'attache particulièrement au traitement de l'eau souterraine et des sols par la conception, la fabrication, la vente et la distribution d'équipement de décontamination. La nouvelle technologie de bioaspiration, exploitée par SCG, arrive en temps opportun et offre une solution de décontamination efficace en terme de coûts pour traiter les sols souterrains contaminés aux hydrocarbures en phase libre. SCG a mis au point une variante novatrice du procédé de décontamination dans lequel les liquides non aqueux légers (LNAL), l'eau souterraine contaminée aux hydrocarbures et les constituants volatils des vapeurs issues des sols sont vigoureusement captés puis traités in situ par extraction et traitement multiphase par vide (ETMV). Ce système est adapté au captage d'une gamme complète d'hydrocarbures pétroliers (de l'essence aux pétroles lourds) dans une variété de conditions souterraines (d'une faible perméabilité associée à un rendement hydraulique bas à une perméabilité moyenne associée à un rendement hydraulique élevé).

CONT

A federal regulation calling for a 98 percent reduction in atmospheric emissions of benzene by September 1991 required all tar storage tanks to be gas-blanketed. The cost of gas-blanketing Tarben's 16 tar storage tanks--spread out over an area equal to about 15 football fields--was estimated at $6 million. As an alternate solution, Tarben developed an innovative technology known as "debenzolization" to remove benzene from the tar in the first processing step; subsequent storage could then use existing atmospheric tanks without the release of benzene or the need to gas-blanket.
