Some worry that SUNY Poly split will hurt ‘fab’ chances – Times Union

Posted: at 3:11 am

ALBANY - Political leaders in central New York and the Mohawk Valley are asking Gov. Kathy Hochul to reconsider her plans to break up SUNY Polytechnic Institute, arguing the move could harm her efforts to entice computer chip manufacturers to build billion-dollar factories in their regions.

Hochul announced during her first State of the State address earlier this month that she wants to merge SUNY Poly's College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering back into the University at Albany.

But Oneida County Executive Anthony Picente Jr. and Onondaga County Executive Ryan McMahon who both believe their communities are in the running for chip factories (known as fabs) believe the split would hurt their chances, and Hochul's, of landing the facilities and the potential for thousands of high-paying jobs.

In a statement released Friday, Picente and McMahon along with local state legislators, expressed their concern a SUNY Poly breakup could jeopardize plans to attract chip companies to the White Pine Commerce Park outside of Syracuse and the Marcy Nanocenter outside of Utica.

"With multiple active semiconductor leads currently being considered at both Marcy and in White Pine in Syracuse, regional leaders believe the proposal could be perceived as a reduction in the states commitment to attracting the industry," the elected officials said in a statement.

SUNY Poly is somewhat unusual in the SUNY system in that it has two campuses - one in Albany and one in Utica.

The school was created in 2014 by merging the University at Albany's College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering into SUNY IT near Utica.

CNSEwas the brainchild of Alain Kaloyeros, a former UAlbany physics professor who founded Albany Nanotech, the most advanced government-owned semiconductor research center in the United States. Funded with hundreds of millions of dollars in corporate and state funding - which is unique to the SUNY system - Albany Nanotech was built by the state on Fuller Road in Albany, adjacent to the UAlbany campus.

Tenants at the Albany Nanotech complex, technically owned by a state-run nonprofit, include companies like IBM, Samsung and Intel, along with the world's top chip-making equipment companies.

Kaloyeros created CNSE to develop a pipeline of students that could become top-notch scientists and engineers to work at semiconductor companies that the state hoped would eventually build factories in the region. When he orchestrated the merger, Kaloyeros renamed the school SUNY Poly and became its founding president and one of the state's highest-paid employees before his 2016 downfall on federal bid-rigging charges.

Albany Nanotech and CNSE have been vital in the state's efforts to bring computer chip companies to upstate New York, including GlobalFoundries, which built its Fab 8 factory in Saratoga County. A second company, Wolfspeed, is building a factory across the street from SUNY Poly's Utica campus at the Marcy Nanocenter.

Kaloyeros was convicted on wire-fraud charges and is facing more than three years in federal prison if his efforts to appeal his case fail. Ever since, UAlbany has supported a plan tobring CNSE back into the UAlbany fold. Many faculty at CNSE have also supported the return to UAlbany.

The controversy over the plan comes at a sensitive time as New York is negotiating with companies to build billion-dollar chip sites upstate. Hochul said earlier this week that she was personally involved in negotiations with an unnamed chip company believed to be Intel.

Intel had announced only days before that it chose Ohio for two new chip fabs that would cost $20 billion. But Intel has plans to build many more factories in the U.S. as part of efforts by the U.S. government to thwart efforts by China to dominate the world's chip manufacturing sector.

Hochul said she has offered the unnamed chipmaker a "robust" incentive package to build a massive chip-making complex outside Syracuse that would employ 5,000 people, which would make it even larger than Fab 8.

"I personally have had meetings, phone calls, and Im working hands-on as we speak on this issue," Hochul told the Syracuse Post-Standard's editorial board. "We are waiting to find out what the decision is. We are very competitive right now.

Intel did not respond to a request for comment, but the company has expressed serious interest in building a fab within driving distance of Albany Nanotech, where it has entered into a research partnership with IBM.

GlobalFoundries is already planning an expansion at Fab 8, so that Saratoga County site may not have enough room for a second chip company.

SUNY Poly officials are trying to carefully balance Hochul's plan to give CNSE back to UAlbany with the concerns of local leaders in the Mohawk Valley and central New York who have been pitching the value of the current SUNY Poly model to prospective chip firms.

"We share many of their concerns," SUNY Poly said in a statement. "We are confident that SUNY Poly will continue to build upon this approach which has grown interconnected research and career opportunities across both campusesnot only for one region, but for all of New York state.

This new graphene-based battery can stop EVs from bursting into flames – The Next Web

Posted: January 19, 2022 at 11:18 am

Lithium-ion batteries have transformed the EV industry, but they dont come without their disadvantages. You know, like the fact theysometimes cause EVs to burst into flamesand explode.

LA startup Nanotech Energy claims to have found a way to eliminate this concern once and for all: a fireproof, graphene-based lithium-ion battery. And if this battery can do what its promised, were talking about a true game changer.

Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms, with a bunch of remarkable physical properties: its ultrathin, incredibly strong, superconductive, and cheap.

It was first discovered by in 2004 by two researchers at the University of Manchester, who managed to extract and isolate it from graphite. Although we reached out to the researchers for this article, they unfortunately declined to comment.

Nanotech has developed graphene electrodes, namely, the batterys positive (cathode) and negative (anode) terminal.

According to the company, graphenes flexibility means that it can withstand the volume changes of the battery electrodes during charge and discharge. This reduces the chances of an internal short circuit, which can potentially lead to fire.

Whats more, graphene is an excellent conductor of electricity, which helps the battery maintain a lower internal resistance simply, the ability to maintain a lower internal temperature. As as result, it provides an efficient solution to overheating during charging, which is another potential cause of fire.

The electrolyte is a vital part of a lithium-ion battery, as it transfers lithium ions between the two electrodes during charge and discharge.

But its the batterys most flammable component.

Most electrolytes in use today involve dissolving a lithium salt in a liquid material composed primarily of linear and cyclic chain carbonates. Basically, molecules that involve a carbon atom attached to three oxygen atoms. These liquids are typically flammable, and can be volatile and unstable when exposed to high temperatures.

Nanotech has developed a proprietary electrolyte solution, called OrganoLyte, that is stable, made from inexpensive materials, easy to manufacture and, of course, is non-flammable.

While no specifics have been disclosed, the name suggests the material still centers around organic chemistry. Weve reached out to the company to know more about it, and well update the article when we have more information to share with you.

Nanotech has run a series of tests to demonstrate that its graphene-OrganoLyte battery shows enhanced thermal stability and eliminates the risk of fire.

In the short video below, the company conducts a nail abuse test and a heating test at 180 degrees Celsius. In both, the standard lithium-ion battery used instantly catches fire, while the graphene battery remains unharmed.

Testing has yielded some impressive results: the battery maintains performance at extreme temperatures (-20 to 60 degrees Celsius), it holds charge at temperatures as high as 176 degrees, and wont catch fire when penetrated with a nail, or heated to more than 704 degrees.

But more than that, Nanotech also claims that its battery is extremely powerful. Namely, it retains more than 80% of its rated capacity through 1,400 cycles, and can charge 18 times faster than anything that is currently available on the market.

Plus, the companys new batteries can be completely personalized to fit any form factor or container and can be used for consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and any electrified machines.

I guess, thats why Nanotechs batteries won the CES 2022 Innovation Award.

Nanotechs non-flammable lithium-ion batteries are set to be manufactured at a newly announced production plant in Nevada, scheduledto open in the fourth quarter of 2022.

I expect that initial production will focus on the consumer electronics market, as the batteries application in automotive use would require further durability, reliability, and safety testing. This might take some extra few years and Im really looking forward to see the battery in action.

The Role of Nanomaterials in a Bioenergy Fueled Future – AZoNano

Posted: at 11:17 am

Nanomaterials have the potential to improve the efficiency of biomass-based biofuel production as discussed in a review recently published in the journalMaterials Letters.

Study:Perspective of nanomaterials for Sustainable Biofuel and Bioenergy production. Image Credit:Corona Borealis Studio/Shutterstock.com

Bioenergy derived from biomass offers numerous distinct advantages. Researchers have been driven to create alternative energy sources in response to the growing energy demand and excessive usage of fossil fuels.

Nanomaterial-based renewable energy solutions have improved the quality and quantity of biofuel and bioenergyproduction.

Bioenergy is one of many different options that may help society satisfy its energy needs. It is a kind of renewable energy obtained from organic elements called biomass, and it may be used to make transportation fuels, heating, electricity, and goods.

Due to the negative impacts of the overuse of fossil fuels on the ecosystem, bioenergy may play an important role as an alternativeenergy source. Biomass is the most common source of bioenergy.

However, early steps for biomass conversion into biofuels, such as enzymatic hydrolysis, preprocessing, and biomass culture,may cause a slew of issues.

Nanomaterials have the potential to help solve challenges linked with biomass sources for bioenergy conversion and storage.

Nanotechnological applications in all industrial sectors can enhance efficiency. Current focus involves creating new energy production sources that will financially benefit the nation. Advanced nanomaterials have the potential to disrupt the whole energy economy and provide for greater energy savings.

Fuel consumption can bereduced via lightweight building material properties of nano components (wear-resistant, lighter mechanical components, and nanoparticles fuel). Switchable glasses constructed of nanoscale components manage the flow of heat and light in buildings, lowering energy usage.

Regarding the use of nanoparticles in bioenergy and biofuel applications,nano additives on anaerobic digestion (AD) influence biogas generation.The usage of nanomaterials for biogas synthesis is steadily expanding.

Buildings, mobile devices, and autos all benefit from the use of nanostructured electrodes and catalysts. The combination of nanostructured semiconductors with a good boundary layer design allows waste heat to be used in autos and textiles. Nanotube-based electric cables and power lines reduce energy losses while current transmission.

Losses via conduction are also minimized when a superconductive material is created using nanotechnological methods. In the long run, energy delivery via wireless technologies such as lasers and microwaves is a viable alternative.

Researchers discovered that introducing low CuO nanoparticles to a reactor containing anaerobic granular sludge had a longer-term detrimental influence on methanogenesis as adding the same concentrations of CuO nanoparicles to the reactors in the short term.

The effects of nano and micro-sized CuO particulates in the reactor on biogas production revealed that CuO nano-sized particles had a greater negative influence on biogas generation than nano-sized ZnO particles.

Esterification of organic and inorganic hybrids produced from polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) for use as insulating oils and oil additives in transformers. The advantages of these instruments include minimal energy consumption, enzyme reusability, and the ability to use a variety of feedstocks.

On the other hand, Lipase enzymes are seldom used in industries owing to their high cost. The enzymes are adorned using immobilization techniques to give a high surface area to volume ratio and active site binding of their functional groups.

This adds to the overall stability. Nano-immobilized lipase has more activity than free enzymes due to its Brownian motion. Because the technologies are still in their early phases, further tests and applications and a techno-economic assessment are required.

However, there are some preliminary findings on nanomaterials as petroleum distillates, in vivo toxicity of nanoparticles, and the molecular-scale mechanism of nanomaterials-protein interactions.It is clear that nanotech-basedbioenergy needs additional research to determine all options for replacing fossil fuel-based energy in the following decades.

The Latest Breakthroughs In The Battery War – OilPrice.com

Posted: December 10, 2021 at 7:07 pm

With the global electrification drive in full swing, electric cars have constantly been improving in terms of mileage, performance, charging time - and costs. And, Wright's law has so far proven to be right. According to Wright's Law, aka the learning curve effect, lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery cell costs fall by 28% for every cumulative doubling of units produced. The battery pack is the most expensive part of an electric vehicle, and the sticker prices of EVs have been falling along with declining battery costs. By 2023, the cost of Li-ion batteries is expected to fall to around $100/kWh - low enough for EVs to achieve price parity with their gas-powered brethren.

Still, Li-ion batteries come with a suite of clear disadvantages. Capacity and ability to deliver peak charge deteriorates over time; they bleed a lot of heat and require weighty cooling systems to be integrated into their design, and the batteries can explode or catch fire if damaged in an accident thanks to the flammable liquid they contain.

Over the years, scientists have been returning to the drawing board and have redesigned the original li-ion battery to overcome some of these shortcomings.

From graphene-based energy storage and lithium-ion batteries with water to cheaper sodium-based batteries and solid-state batteries, here are the latest advances in battery technology.

#1. Non-Flammable Graphene-Based Battery Packs

Ultrathin, incredibly strong, superconductive, cheap - and impossible to use. Those are some of the traits of graphene, the gee-whiz nanomaterial that was supposed to forever change the face of materials science as we know it. Yet, save for a few novel applications, the graphene promise has mostly remained mere hype 16 years after two Manchester University professors first figured out a way to extract it from graphite.

But that has not stopped starry-eyed scientists from touting a graphene superbattery that can charge faster, holda lot more power, and cost a fraction of conventional lithium batteries.

And, finally, one little-known company has turned this dream into reality.

Los Angeles battery startup Nanotech Energy has announced that it will start taking pre-orders for its high-performance, graphene-based, non-flammable, lithium-Ion battery packs that promise to provide safer and more powerful energy storage than traditional lithium-ion battery packs.

Nanotech's new batteries are powered by the company's graphene-based electrodes and proprietary non-flammable electrolyte Organolyte and can be fully customized to fit any form factor or container, thus eliminating the need for OEMs to redesign existing products or compromise new ones. These non-flammable battery packs can be used to power electric vehicles, bikes, consumer electronics, military equipment, and other electrified devices.

"Battery storage has yet to reach its potential--until now. Unlike traditional battery packs that pose serious fire risks, Nanotech Energy's non-flammable lithium-ion batteries are intrinsically safe and environmentally-friendly, which we believe will inspire more industries to switch from gas to electric. Ultimately, our batteries will enable faster adoption by significantly decreasing the amount of time and accumulative costs OEMs currently incur related to testing and integrating new battery technology," Dr. Jack Kavanaugh, Chairman, CEO and co-founder of Nanotech Energy, has said in a press release.

Nanotech Energy was recently honored with a CES 2022 Innovation Award for its non-flammable, Graphene-Organolyte batteries

#2. Lithium-ion battery with water

The risk of fires or explosions due to manufacturing defects, damage, or thermal runaway is an Achilles heel for li-ion batteries. In recent years, several automakers, including General Motors, Audi, and Hyundai, have recalled electric vehicles over fire risks and have warned of the associated dangers.

Thankfully, researchers have now developed a prototype lithium-ion battery that uses water as an electrolytic solution, replacing a flammable organic solvent.

In an abstract published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, a team of scientists has developed a prototype that achieves "higher ionic conductivity, environmental benignancy, and high safety."

The battery's major drawback: a lower performance level and can only be used in lower-voltage conditions.

The Asahi Shimbun has shared more details about the new aqueous battery:

[Scientists] discovered that using a molybdenum oxide for the negative electrode can achieve performance levels required for practical use. Even after the battery was recharged 2,000 times, its capacity dropped by less than 30%.

As water is broken down when high voltage is applied, the prototype battery can be used only in lower voltage conditions in comparison with batteries based on the organic solvent.

Its weight energy density an indicator of battery performance is about half the level of a conventional product, which means a larger body size is essential to produce a battery with the same capacity.

The water battery's lower weight energy density means it might not be readily applicable for long-range EVs but can still be useful in short-range EVs as well as solar and wind energy storage.

#3. Cheaper sodium batteries

In yet another battery breakthrough, researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have developed a new sodium-based battery material that is highly stable and capable of recharging as quickly as a traditional lithium-ion battery.

For about a decade, scientists and engineers have tried to develop sodium batteries that replace both lithium and cobalt used in current lithium-ion batteries with cheaper, more environmentally friendly sodium. Unfortunately, earlier versions of sodium batteries have been plagued by needle-like filaments called dendrites that grow on the anode and cause the battery to electrically short and even catch fire or explode.

However, the latest sodium battery by the University of Texas at Austin solves the dendrite problem and recharges as quickly as a lithium-ion battery.

"We're essentially solving two problems at once. Typically, the faster you charge, the more of these dendrites you grow. So if you suppress dendrite growth, you can charge and discharge faster, because all of a sudden it's safe," David Mitlin, a professor in the Cockrell School of Engineering's Walker Department of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Research Laboratory, has said.

#4. GM Edges Closer to Solid-State Battery After POSCO Deal

Over the past decade, EV makers have been touting solid-state batteries as the next breakthrough in EV technology, often quoting insane performance and range. Solid-state batteries use a solid electrolyte that can take the form of ceramics, glass, sulphites, or solid polymers as opposed to the liquid or polymer gel one found in conventional lithium-ion batteries.

Solid-state batteries promise some 2-10 times the energy density of lithium-ion batteries of the same size, thanks mainly to the solid electrolyte having a smaller footprint. That means more powerful batteries without extra space, or more compact battery packs without compromising on power, longer-range electric cars, and lighter EVs. They are also expected to charge faster.

Back in September, the world's largest automaker, Toyota Corp. raised the stakes after announcing its intention to invest over $13.5 billion by 2030 to develop next-generation batteries, including solid-state batteries.

The Japanese automaker says it aims to reduce the cost of its batteries by 30% or more by working on the materials used in manufacturing batteries and also by improving power consumption.

And now another ICE giant is betting the farm on solid-state technology.

Last week provided the clearest sign that General Motors has a solid-state EV battery up its sleeve after it hooked up with the Korean firm POSCO Chemical to build a new battery factory in the United States. The new factory will produce material for GM's much-heralded Ultium energy storage platform. Although Ultium energy is not a solid-state battery, the new partnership indicates that GM is edging closer to a solid-state battery.

Last spring, GM announced a joint agreement with lithium-metal firm SES (formerly Solid Energy Systems), marking a series of lithium-metal partnerships it has struck up in recent years

GM holds nearly 100 patents (49 granted and 45 pending) of its own in lithium-metal technology, and it was an early investor in SES.

An appreciation of Jerry and Joy Soderquist – The Tryon Daily Bulletin – Tryon Daily Bulletin

Posted: at 7:07 pm

Remember When

After my talk to the Tryon Historical Association, a Ms. Burke stopped by my car window to suggest that I write sometimes about people who are still living. I did write about John Vining fairly recently; now I will offer some words about friends Jerry and Joy Soderquist.

I met them when they planned the Sherlock Holmes Festival that grew around my suggestion to the Tryon Little Theater that they schedule a hundredth anniversary performance of the play in which William Gillette starred in 1899 as Sherlock. We have Gillettes pipe and slippers in the Polk County Historical Association Museum in Columbus.

Joy asked Linda Campbell to prepare a Mrs. Hudsons Breakfast at the Congregational Church. Fran and I enjoyed the sumptuous meal of period English food, including scones. Joy made it a point to notify me of the sequel the following year. Yum!

Jerry became involved with development of Nanotechnology next, and Fran asked him to explain. She told him that she understood that it was about something either very large or very small. Jerrys explanation began by assuring her that Nanotech treats extremely small (read microscopic) matter and methods.

Joy is now the Historian for the Tryon Garden Club. We exchanged several e-mails recently about Pearsons Falls. She clarified some things for me in a column I was writing. I also note that Jerry is another special male allowed to belong to the Tryon Garden Club.

Jerry is the founder and Managing Director of the Archival Research Center for Tryon. The Tryon Cemetery needed a lot of TLC; I understand that Jerry joined the team of volunteers that provided it.

Several years ago I stopped in to visit with Harry Goodheart in his book store at the bottom of School Street. I bought a book and left him some of mine to sell. I wish I could remember what we talked about!

I see by an ad in the New York Times that a revival of Meredith Wilsons The Music Man will open on Broadway in December. I well remember the marathon efforts of the Wilsons to get it produced, and the way it quickly became Americas favorite show. Every band plays its Seventy Six Trombones and many of its songs became hits for a time.

Music Man was old fashioned then and is even more so now. But it speaks to us old folks who love singable tunes and remember singers like Bing Crosby and the Hit Parade on our radios.

Anna Marie Kuether used to bring her Polk County High School chorus to sing for us at public gatherings; now she has moved with Dave to South Carolina. She is Minister of Music of a church there.

The Community Chorus has cancelled again. I saw Richard Hall recently; he said that no, he has not taken the big Steinway concert grand out of its box in two or three years. Covid has destroyed nearly everything, hasnt it?

Libby Vining Hanifin emailed me that John Vollmer built a rock wall for her. Eloise Johnson emailed that Bud Pace was a rock mason; I knew that but failed to include him. I am truly thankful for alert readers who promptly inform me of additions or necessary corrections.

I assemble these columns into books of about a hundred of them. I then place copies of the books into local libraries for people to refer to maybe 50 years hence. The books are also in both Polk County and Tryon Historical Museums.

I make no claim to being a historian. I could be, but I prefer to be just a story teller. I love to tell stories about the characters I know/have known. And everything reminds me of a story!

I must write about my late friend Martha Bishop Wheeler, who died November 24, 2021. Later!

Garland would like to hear from you at 828-859-7041 or garlandgoodwin7@gmail.com.

Theres something in the water how nanotech sensors, AI and other digital tools can keep our supply safe – Toronto Star

Posted: November 9, 2021 at 2:37 pm

The numbers are stark: Around the world, an estimated 785 million people do not have access to clean drinking water and a billion more live in water-stressed areas. The growing climate crisis is magnifying the threat to water supplies arid regions are becoming drier, and flooding is becoming more frequent in water-rich areas. And the energy-intensive treatment of wastewater only compounds the issue, accounting for an estimated three per cent of greenhouse gas emissions globally. Thats more GHGs than Canada emits annually.

In other words, communities need better and smarter ways to treat and manage water resources. The digital revolution, however, is starting to trickle into the worlds water treatment industry.

A strong lineup of Canadian clean-technology firms are commercializing technologies based on digital sensors and artificial intelligence, which let utilities and industry optimize their water-treatment performance at lower costs and with reduced energy consumption. These clean-tech firms, however, must overcome the innate caution of an industry that is driven by the twin imperatives of regulatory compliance and avoidance of errors that can cause human illness and environmental damage.

There is a real opportunity for Canada and for the private sector in Canada to step up not just within Canada but also from an export perspective to help achieve U.N. sustainability goals, says Dr. Corinne Schuster-Wallace, a water expert and geology professor at the University of Saskatchewan. There are lots and lots of places where innovation can occur and is occurring in drinking water and wastewater treatment.

Ontario leads in water innovation

Digital solutions offer a way for communities to upgrade their operations without massive capital expenditures. Across the country, companies that specialize in sensors, data collection, analytics and robotics are growing rapidly, looking to compete in the $1-trillion global marketplace for water technology.

Canada has a strong history of successful water-technology companies to build on, including Oakville-based Zenon, which pioneered efficient filtration technology in the 1980s and 90s and is now owned by French giant Suez. Ontario alone counts 900 water-industry companies including 300 early-stage technology developers. The Invest Ontario agency calculates that $14 billion is spent annually on industrial, university-based and private-sector research.

Using sensors to fine-tune operations

The wastewater treatment sector is ripe for innovation, especially information technology that lets them improve performance without making big capital investments, says Patrick Kiely, CEO of Sentry Water Technologies. From a pure energy perspective, these facilities arent being operated in any sort of efficient manner at all, he says. There is very limited optimization in place.

The company uses sensors that combine biological compounds and digital technology to track pollutants in wastewater. This allows treatment plants to finely tune operations to hourly conditions, which is both more energy efficient and reduces the need for costly chemicals. In Montague, P.E.I., for example, a Sentry alarm system provides a signal when the local brewery discharges its wastewater into the municipal system, permitting plant managers to adjust their treatment operations.

Sentry calculates it can shave 20 per cent off the operating costs of plants, while improving performance by targeting specific pollutants in the waste stream. So far, the company has installed its patented bio-electrode sensors at close to 100 water-treatment plants around the world, and is targeting Southeast Asia, California and Japan for growth.

Guelph-based Mantech offers a similar approach with nanotech sensors that detect bacteria and other contaminants, providing immediate feedback for water plant operators. Its analysis gets results within three to 10 minutes, compared to the 10 hours to three days that standard methods take and does so without using harmful chemicals. Annually, this can help save $20,000 for a small operation to as much as $3 million.

Mantech, says CEO Robert Menegotto, is now in the sweet spot where things are taking off. It now has both corporate and municipal customers, including Suncor and the municipal utility in Pasco County, Fla., and has increased staff from 16 employees in March 2020 to a planned 40 people by the end of this year.

Using the power of the cloud

Water treatment plants have been underserved by digital technologies and have a tremendous opportunity to reduce their operational costs and risk and just run better, by using data, says Devesh Bharadwaj, CEO of Pani Energy.

A native of New Delhi, Bharadwaj started Pani in 2017 just before graduating with a mechanical-engineering degree from University of Victoria. He wanted to focus on one of humanitys greatest challenges and seized on the idea that optimizing water-treatment plants helps tackle two related problems: reducing costs to make treatment more available and cutting the greenhouse-gas emissions associated with water treatment.

While Sentry and Mantech provide the sensors to assess water quality, Pani Energy offers a cloud-based software program that uses artificial intelligence to analyze how a water treatment plants performance compares with its ideal operations. The Victoria-based startup is partnering with industry giants, including Indias Tata Projects, Saudi Arabias Abuyyan Holdings and U.S.-based Aquatech International to incorporate its software and dashboard-display technology in new control systems.

Panis system offers twin benefits: reducing operating costs between five per cent and 20 per cent, and ensuring better compliance with increasingly stringent regulations aimed at reducing water pollution.

Last year, Pani secured $2.8 million in financing from the federal Sustainable Development Technology Canada to accelerate the development of its award-winning plant-optimization technology. Bharadwaj is looking to scale his company so it could be used in a variety of applications, including traditional wastewater treatment, desalinization and plants that render wastewater back into drinking water.

While countries like Saudi Arabia are turning to desalination to secure new sources of drinking water, there is tremendous growth possible for technology that lets municipalities reuse wastewater, Bharadwaj says. Cities such as Los Angeles and Singapore are adopting reuse technology, which requires a fraction of the energy used in the desalinization of sea water.

Cautious operators

Tech startups often face a challenge in persuading water-plant operators to adopt new technology, even if it offers demonstrably better performance and lower costs. Thats due in part because many water operations are highly regulated and often government owned. Cost containment is not a primary motivator, says Ronald Hoffman, an engineering professor at the University of Toronto.

The primary mission for people who give us safe water is to protect health human and environmental, says Hofmann. So, if someone comes along with a new technology, and if the current technology is already meeting all regulations, its hard to justify taking a chance on something new.

However, climate change may soon change that, he says. Growing water shortages and increasingly heavy rainstorms will require the water treatment industry to deal with challenges they have yet had to face. As Hofmann says, we may soon see absolute water scarcity on a scale that we havent seen before, and that might flip things on their head.

Self-Assembling Nanotech Found in Moderna Vaccine …

Bombshell News: American Medical Researchers Witness SELF-ASSEMBLING Graphene Oxide Nanotech or AI Syn Bio in Moderna Vaccine Under Microscope.

By Ramola D.,

Source: Ramola D.s report with Everyday Concerned Citizen.

In bombshell news pointing to the much-speculated-on presence of nanobots in vaccines, an American medical researcher reports that moving, shifting, self-assembling nano-particulates of possibly Graphene Oxide and/or forming synthetic biology polymers were seen under an optical microscope in a few drops of Moderna vaccine from a freshly-opened vial of Moderna, with pictures as below (please scroll down).

The vial was opened for the administration of a vaccine to one person, after which the sample for viewing was taken. The information around the researcher and circumstances is being kept anonymous currently to protect the source. However, the researcher wished to share the news with all.

This researcher notes that specks of possibly nano Graphene Oxide seemed to self-assemble into shapes. Worm-like structures and specks seemed to be moving and also began to move in concert. The direction of movement noted was toward the edges of the glass. The nanobots also seemed to become aware of the researchers viewing through the eye-piece and seemed to pause and then appeared to approach the center. Long thread or worm-like shapes as well as clumped jagged shapes as seen in the La Quinta Columna microscopy pictures of Graphene Oxide in the Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines were observed.

The colored and grayish nano specks and tubes were observed with a regular compound microscope and nothing was added to the drops of Moderna. A witness researcher also observed the moving nanobots and filaments under the microscope. Any further observations or analysis with more sophisticated microscopes will be reported here to add to this report.

This researcher states this is what I observed under the microscope- freshly opened vial of Moderna nothing added. Only light source and warmed to room temperature over two hours.

These moving nano-worms are very similar to images published in mid-April by Mike Adams of Natural News in his microscope observations of masks, as also to Dr. Ts observation of nano-worms in masks, published in Not On the Beeb videos, as well as numerous lay researchers who have published their iPhone pictures and videos of moving filaments on masks and on nasal swabs . Dr. Ariyana Love reported in early April that these were hydrogel carbon nanotubes being used in the delivery of vaccines on masks and nasal swabs without informed consent. Karen Kingston the Pfizer whistleblower who has revealed redactions in Pfizer EUA filings documents has also revealed that Graphene Oxide is being used by Moderna and Pfizer in the PEGylated lipids used to encase the mRNA particles for coerced entry of these foreign mRNA molecules into human cells through naturally resistant human cell membranes.

Graphene Oxide is known to be highly toxic and cause blood clots.

The evidence of intelligent self-assembly of nanotechnology and intelligent filament-movement is an indicator of synthetic biology and nanobioelectronics, as per several scientific papers (some listed below) published in various journals, and points to the stealth inclusion of Graphene Oxide in the Moderna vaccine for electromagnetic manipulation of cells and neurons via the creation of synthetic neural networks in the human body and brain. This is a clear sign of malfeasance and intended transhumanizing and cyborgizing of the human body through the COVID vaccines.

It must be remembered that both Pfizer and Moderna developed the Transhumanist mRNA vaccines for DARPA, on DARPA contracts from 2013. Pfizer and Modernas military connections as well as the mRNA connections with DARPAs Regina Dugan now directing the Wellcome LEAP ventures and DARPAs Dan Wattendorf now at the Gates Foundation were discussed here earlier. DARPAs Pandemic Prevention Platforms and ADEPT diagnostic and monitoring platforms are based on bioengineering, gene manipulation, and synthetic biology. These human-takeover programs envision an infinite future of mRNA vaccines and external control of the human body and brain, which Graphene Oxide would permit.

Further evidence of Graphene Oxide in the vaccines and in the chem trails and atmosphere has been discussed here:

Crime Scene Vaccine: Nano Graphene Oxide in High Amounts Now Found in Moderna, Other Vaccines, also Sanofi Flu Vaccine, & Saline Solution Point to COVID-19 (& All Professed Variants) Being Graphene & 4G/5G Poisoning, Not a Virus

Findings of Graphene Oxide and magnetic nanoparticles in agricultural feed, meat, and other sources were also discussed here in Panel 1 Carnicom Disclosure Project Update from Transparent Media Truth and Ramola D Reports featuring Dr. Robert Young, Dr. Carrie Madej and Dr. Judy Mikovits.

Editors Note:

At the end of this video revealing the many active ingredients in the Pfizer serum, we see the rapid crystalline growth of the graphene oxide nanoparticles under microscopy. This is the new neural network governments want inside of everybody. Its achieved through self-replication of the graphene oxide which is a programmable matter that establishes an artificial neural network or operating system as Moderna calls it, throughout your entire body.

Graphene oxide being superconductive will enable the synthetic neural network to connect you to the 5G grid, Internet of Things and to AI. This is for the ABSOLUTE subjugation of your mind, body and soul. Every soul has a unique energetic frequency signature which cannot be duplicated. Your DNA is the blueprint of your soul, whose energy radiates through every cell in your body.

The pharmaceutical cartels Covid-19 Democide is the ultimate rape and bondage of the human species. This biohacking technology is harnessing your souls energetic field to fuel its evil operating system. We must fight back or this may end in the total annihilation and enslavement of the human species. This is a biological attack.

Sixth Wave Updates on Delivery of Affinity(TM) System – Yahoo Finance

Posted: October 19, 2021 at 10:50 pm

Halifax, Nova Scotia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 19, 2021) - Sixth Wave Innovations Inc. (CSE: SIXW) (OTCQB: SIXWF) (FSE: AHUH) ("Sixth Wave", "SIXW" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on the delivery of its Affinity System (the "System") for purification of cannabinoids. The Company has received the first of three Affinity Systems at its proving lab in Baltimore, Maryland from its production partner, Advanced Extraction Systems Inc.

The System will undergo a structured testing protocol to verify operation and final configuration for subsequent delivery to Green Envy Extracts pending Green Envy receiving final site approval from the State of Michigan. Commissioning work will take place at Green Envy, to be followed by a 60-day confirmatory operation period. Sixth Wave will conduct a site visit to refine the installation plan with Green Envy and the facility owners, Medpharm Holdings (https://medpharmholdings.com) on Oct. 25, 2021.

Reduced Processing Cost, Increased Yield and Purity

Processing costs associated with the Affinity System are expected to be lower than traditional technology by $0.25 to $0.50 per gram of cannabinoids produced.

Sixth Wave estimates that the unit will be capable of delivering an increase in cannabinoid yield by more than 20% over traditional technologies. This increased yield, assuming a wholesale price of only $1,000/kg of product, would result in $200/kg incremental revenue to Affinity customers.

Further, the Affinity System is expected to result in a higher purity product, containing up to 90% cannabinoids, an increase from roughly 80% cannabinoid content traditionally generated by distillation. The Company expects that this improved purity could allow Affinity users to command a premium price for their product.

Total System Performance Licence ("TSPL")

The Company intends to introduce the Affinity System to the market under its Total System Performance License (TSPL) program, fashioned after US Federal Acquisition Reform (FAR) guidelines. The Company will sell Affinity Systems to licensed producers at a price commensurate to the size of the system and will charge a fee based on the actual throughput or usage. In return, the licensed producer will have SIXW's full support, installation and configuration management, GMP qualification support, 100% warrantee on all equipment, replacement and upgrade of the Affinity System nanotech purification media, and 24/7 technical support for as long as minimum production levels are maintained.

Story continues

The Company expects to earn roughly CAD$0.25 / finished gram of product through the TSPL fee (based on production levels of less than 20kg per day).

Production Levels

Based on current standard operating procedures (SOP), the initial system being delivered to Green Envy/Medpharm is capable of processing approximately 6kg of final, high purity distillate every 10hrs of operation. The larger production unit scheduled for delivery in late December 2021, will be capable of producing finished distillate of approximately 14kg/10hrs of operation or in excess of 30kg/day thereby surpassing the Company's original 20kg/day goal.

The entry-level production Affinity System will be capable of generating recurring revenue of approximately CAD$2.25M annually based on a 300-day production schedule. A portion of the proceeds will be set aside to support TSPL requirements while the remaining will be used for quality improvement program (QIP), research and development, operations, and profit. The Company is entering initial product roll-out and specific TSPL costs are not fully established. The Company will use industry averages for similar manufactured goods as a baseline and will adjust as historic data for the Affinity System becomes available.

As noted by Dr. Jon Gluckman, President and CEO of Sixth Wave, "Our goal is to be a leader in purification today and well into the future. We want our customers to feel like we are invested in their success as opposed to simply supplying equipment. As such, the basic principle behind the TSPL program is Sixth Wave makes money when our customers are successfully processing with the Affinity System. If the System is down, we need to get it operational ASAP and are as motivated as our customers. The TSPL allows for a cooperative relationship and helps ensure that our customers always have the latest upgrades etc. without having to worry about additional or unknown costs. We are confident that the Affinity System and accompanying TSPL program will significantly reduce processing costs, increase yield and provide competitive advantages in profitability and product quality for our customers."

The Company is in discussions with several new early adopters and expects to be opening up sales to the industry at large before the end of the year. Sixth Wave has received inquiries from over 100 licensed producers with roughly half being in North America and the remaining worldwide. Inquiries have come from a mix of hemp and cannabis producers. The Company is currently gearing up production and ordering long-lead components to avoid possible delays in roll-out caused by ongoing global supply chain issues.
