Technologie která absorbuje nebo eliminuje odpad z kuchyňských olejů, tuků a vod.

Společnost ze Spojených států se zajímá o nové absorbční materiály, chemikálie nebo produkty, které by efektivně absorbovaly nebo eliminovaly odpady z kuchyňských olejů, tuků nebo povrchové vody. Produkty by měli být efektivní v teplotách v rozmezí 70 - 200 fahrenheit. Fáze vývoje by měla být komerční nebo v její blízkosti. Materiály by měli být považovány za bezpečné (GRAS).

(Ref: 12 US 87GC 3R1E )

Description:
A number of methods are used to absorb or eliminate oil, grease, and water, ranging from approaches with sorbent materials, to chemicals, to granular materials, to nonwoven/woven materials, or thickening agents. Application areas where such technologies can be found include oil remediation, emergency response/quick cleanup materials, automotive/industrial spills, restaurant spills, or food-based/cosmetic materials.

Technical Specifications / Specific technical requirements of the request:
- Ability to absorb oil, water, and other fluids
- Highly absorbent (greater than 1:1 ratio)
- Materials classified as generally regarded as safe (GRAS)
- Unaffected by high temperatures associated in the range of 70–200°F
- Easily attached to other substrates and/or heat sealed
- Low cost
- Commercially available or very near to commercial

Comments:
- The type of partner sought: industry, academic, or research organization.
- The specific area of activity of the partner: manufacturer or distributor of absorbent technology
- The partner organization: work on further development and refinement of the technology. The organization ability to produce in larger quantities may be advantageous once concept is fully refined.
