SBIR Phase I: Portable Water Ecosystem Oxygenator

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIlR) Phase I project will develop a portable device for oxygenating streams and other surface water bodies using a combination of aeration and Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF), a process often used in settling tanks. The commercial application of this project will be to improve surface water quality in a variety of water bodies and to help restore habitats. The proposed product is expected to find a place in three specific market segments of the U.S. environmental industry, the ecosystem restoration market, the bioremediation market and the wastewater treatment market.
