Description
In this Phase 2 SBIR program Buffalo BioBlower Technologies and its commercialization partner HDT Global will build and conduct performance and biological tests of the mobile 5,000 cubic feet per minute (CFM) BioBlower designed in the SBIR Phase 1 program. The BioBlower is designed to be transported to a threat area and integrated with a wide area sensor network to protect a building from biological attack within 48 hours. The BioBlower connects to a building's existing HVAC system or an auxiliary Environmental Control Unit for use in developed or undeveloped theatres of operation. It is optionally powered by shore power or an auxiliary generator. For chemical and or radiological threats, the BioBlower integrates with a chemical catalyst and/or filters. An optional BioBlower design provides permanent, 24/7, protection. In parallel internal developments, Buffalo BioBlower Technologies will build and test a high effectiveness primary surface heat exchanger to reduce capital and operating costs and test catalysts to eliminate chemical threats. In the Phase 3 commercialization program, the Phase 2 prototype will be refined to produce an HDT-branded product for sale to DOD, DHS and Department of State. There are additional commercial applications in health care, agricultural, industrial and art preservation markets.
