THIS IS A PROPOSAL TO CONDUCT A COMPREHENSIVE SURVEY OF THE MARKET FOR NOX ABATEMENT TECHNOLOGIES, SOURCES OF NOX EMISSIONS, AVAILABLE ABATEMENT TECHNOLOGIES, AND THE SCIENTIFIC UNDERSTANDING OF NOX GENERATION AND ABATEMENT.

THIS IS A PROPOSAL TO CONDUCT A COMPREHENSIVE SURVEY OF THE MARKET FOR NOX ABATEMENT TECHNOLOGIES, SOURCES OF NOX EMISSIONS, AVAILABLE ABATEMENT TECHNOLOGIES, AND THE SCIENTIFIC UNDERSTANDING OF NOX GENERATION AND ABATEMENT. THIS SURVEY WILL INCLUDE EXTENSIVE COMPUTERIZED SEARCHES OF THE DOMESTIC, FOREIGN, PATENT, AND U.S. GOVERNMENT REPORTS LITERATURE, AS WELL AS DIRECT COMMUNICATIONS WITH TECHNOLOGY PROVIDERS AND USERS. THE WORK WILL THEN MATCH ABATEMENT TECHNOLOGIES TO SOURCES AND DESIGN COST/BENEFIT ANALYSES FOR THE MATCHUPS. IT WILL SHOW WHERE CURRENT TECHNOLOGIES CAN BE IMPROVED WITH AVAILABLE SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE, AND IT WILL IDENTIFY DEFICIENCIES IN THE SCIENTIFIC DATA BASE. THE MATCHUP AND SYSTEM OF ANALYSIS WILL BE ORGANIZED AS A DATA BASE ON A MICROCOMPUTER FOR CONVIENT USE, EDITING, AND UPDATING. A PILOT TASK WILL BE IDENTIFIED IN COOPERATION WITH THE ARMY, AND A COST ANALYSIS AND INVESTIGATION PROTOCOL WILL BE ESTABLISHED FOR THE PILOT TASK.
