Seeking: Preventing growth of and removing microorganisms and biofilms from a potable water system

biofilm, biocide, Water
- Desired outcome
  
  We want to decrease and maintain the microbial concentration in acceptably clean drinking water. We'd like to do this by preventing the growth of, or by killing, microorganisms in the water and microbial biofilms adhering to the surfaces of our sophisticated water storage and supply system.

  Details of the Tech Request :
  
  BACKGROUND
  
  Potable water enters our storage and supply system from a municipal water source. Once in our water system, the bacterial concentration must be decreased and maintained at bacterial concentrations of less than 50 colony-forming units (CFU) per milliliter. We're not dealing with source water from unknown or untrusted sources. However, this water may need to be stored for as long as a year and may be consumed by people at any point during that time.
  
  Simple filtration of the water at the delivery point as it is delivered is not a good option, because the water system is not guaranteed to be sterile, and the bacteria count may increase over time while the water is stored. As high bacterial counts can overwhelm filtration and treatment systems, filters at the dispense point are also not considered a good option..Instead, we are looking for technology to decrease the number of living organisms below 50 CFU per milliliter and prevent further increases in microbial growth. We do not consider water safe to drink unless it contains 50 CFU or less per milliliter.
  
  While our system is complex, the evaluation of the technology will focus on the final potable water holding tank immediately prior to consumption.
  
  CONSTRAINTS
  
  There are two major constraints:
  
  o Your proposed solution must be compatible with a variety of metals including Inconel(TM), and stainless steel, along with a variety of other materials used for seals and tubing; and
  o Your proposed solution must be reliable enough that water quality would not need monitoring more than once per month. Water may need to remain unmonitored for six months or more.
  
  Additional constraints:
  
  o Low weight
  o A residual biocide is preferred
  o No toxicological effect resulting from long-term human exposure
  o No gas production from the operation of your technology
  o Must be compatible with a specific mixture of ambient gases that include primarily oxygen and nitrogen
  o Operable at ambient pressures from sea level (14.7 psi) down to 8 psi

  Field Of Use and Intended Application
  Long-term human consumption.
  
  Desired Outcome
  We would like to find a substance that we can add to stored drinking water (or to the material of the storage system itself) that could substantially decrease bacterial concentrations and would prevent microbial growth and biofilm development. The output of the system would show no more than 50 CFU per milliliter.
  
  Previously Attempted Solutions
  Filters, iodine, hypochlorite, and silver biocides
  
  Comments
  The water consumed is the sole source for participants using the system. Consumption is estimated between 2 and 3 liters per day. Microorganisms previously identified in these systems primarily include Gram-negative organisms, such as pseudomonads, commonly associated with water systems.

  A major consumer good manufacturer invites proposals for innovative insect protector technologies without insecticide formula delivery

  Share tech request
  
  Details of the Tech Request :
  
  Insecticide users do not like insecticide formula because they feel that chemistry is not good for people and specially for baby health but: how to avoid the bites? Every year when spring time arrives, insecticide users buy the liquid/solid insecticides but they feel not comfortable to have it plugged near them, specially during night time. Sometimes they use it during the day and unplug it during the night so its efficiency becomes very low.
  People use to have insect problems when they are outside or on the go. It is difficult to find a solution "insecticide free" to protect them.
  
  The successful technology would be:
  - Insecticide free
  - Mass market consumer good applications to kill or repel insects – Cost oriented products.
  - Simple for the consumer to use.
  - Through-the-air and/or surface applications.
  - It should take in account the biocide guideline: 98/8/EC
  - Innovative: different from those solutions currently on the market.
  - Effective – prove of principle and IP clarification.
  - Indoor or/and outdoor solution
  - Of interest are solutions that give an indication they have accomplished the goal of protection.
  
  ANTICIPATED project phase or project plan:
  Phase 1. proof of concept: demonstration of technology profile, initial cost analysis
  Phase2. product development: technology refinement with target actives, technology transfer to manufacturing, refined cost analysis
  Phase3. commercialization
  
  APPROPRIATE responses to this requests:
  Responses from companies, academic researchers, other research institutes, consultants or inventors are welcomed.
  Appropriate responses will address the following:
  - Description of the technology
  - Technical maturity of approach
  - Availability of samples or technology demonstration
  - Intellectual property situation (list any relevant patents or patent applications)
  - Expertise of responder
