The city councils of Dallas and Houston have recently taken positive legislative steps towards the construction of a 240-mile high speed rail (HSR) system connecting the cities via Shinkansen N700 series trains with top speeds of 200 mph. At this juncture, there is an imperative to examine the potential life cycle environmental impacts of the HSR system and compare\/contrast with the environmental impacts associated with existing transportation modes of highway and air travel. HSR systems powered by electricity have significantly lower releases of criteria air pollutants (CAP) and greenhouse gases (GHG) during operation stage, in comparison to conventional transportation by road\/air. This project considers the total life cycle of an HSR system including all stages from \u2018cradle-to-grave\u2019 such as, raw material extraction, infrastructure development, vehicle manufacturing, electricity generation, operation &amp; maintenance, and end-of-life for two components:\u00a0<em>Vehicle<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>Infrastructure<\/em>. This project would conduct a holistic life cycle assessment (LCA) study exploring the energy and environmental impact of the HSR system and the role of this transportation mode in alleviating persistent air quality problems in the non-attainment areas of Houston and Dallas. This project would develop estimates for CAP, GHG emissions and energy consumption per vehicle\/passenger-kilometer traveled under scenarios of varying passenger ridership\/migration level to the HSR system. The outcomes from this LCA study would provide vital information to regulators, planners and researchers studying environmental impacts of fossil fuel usage in the transportation sector of the US;

Report<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-8\"><h3>Life-cycle Environmental Impact of High-Speed Rail System in the I-45 Corridor<\/h3>\n<p>The Houston-Dallas I-45 corridor was ranked as the top priority among 18 traffic corridors in Texas for the development of an Intercity Passenger Transit System, by the Texas A&amp;M Transportation Institute. The city councils of Dallas and Houston have recently taken positive legislative steps towards the construction of a 240-mile high speed rail (HSR) system connecting the cities via Shinkansen N700 series trains with top speeds of 200 mph. At this juncture, there is an imperative to examine the potential life cycle environmental impacts of the HSR system and compare\/contrast with the environmental impacts associated with existing transportation modes of highway and air travel. HSR systems powered by electricity have significantly lower releases of criteria air pollutants (CAP) and greenhouse gases (GHG) during operation stage, in comparison to conventional transportation by road\/air. This project considers the total life cycle of an HSR system including all stages from \u2018cradle-to-grave\u2019 such as, raw material extraction, infrastructure development, vehicle manufacturing, electricity generation, operation &amp; maintenance, and end-of-life for two components:\u00a0<em>Vehicle<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>Infrastructure<\/em>. This project would conduct a holistic life cycle assessment (LCA) study exploring the energy and environmental impact of the HSR system and the role of this transportation mode in alleviating persistent air quality problems in the non-attainment areas of Houston and Dallas. This project would develop estimates for CAP, GHG emissions and energy consumption per vehicle\/passenger-kilometer traveled under scenarios of varying passenger ridership\/migration level to the HSR system. The outcomes from this LCA study would provide vital information to regulators, planners and researchers studying environmental impacts of fossil fuel usage in the transportation sector of the US; comparative analysis for passenger travel by HSR, highway and air modes will establish the inventory and methodological framework for conducting future LCA studies for potential HSR routes in multiple travel corridors of the South-Central US.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2042,"featured_media":0,"parent":2466,"menu_order":-1,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"side-navigation.php","meta":{"_expiration-date-status":"","_expiration-date":0,"_expiration-date-type":"","_expiration-date-categories":[],"_expiration-date-options":[],"footnotes":""},"yst_prominent_words":[],"class_list":["post-2473","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/cees\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2473","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/cees\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/cees\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/cees\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2042"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/cees\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2473"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/cees\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2473\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/cees\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2466"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/cees\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2473"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/cees\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=2473"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}},{"id":2468,"date":"2021-10-06T10:59:02","date_gmt":"2021-10-06T15:59:02","guid":{"rendered":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/cees\/?page_id=2468"},"modified":"2021-10-06T11:08:23","modified_gmt":"2021-10-06T16:08:23","slug":"usdoe-carbon-capture","status":"publish","type":"page","link":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/cees\/research\/completed-projects\/usdoe-carbon-capture\/","title":{"rendered":"USDOE &#8211;

Treatment, Kommalapati, Reeves and Shafer (UH), National Science Foundation, 08\/19-07\/22, $500,000<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The goal of the proposed research is to develop a novel method for treating shale gas and oil produced water (PW) that employs a novel high throughput forward osmosis (FO) membrane with significantly improved antifouling and reverse draw solute repelling properties. The proposed high throughput FO membrane consists of a nanofibrous support layer, a thin coating layer at the bottom of the support layer, and an ultrathin active layer. A graphene oxide (GO)-embedded polyetherimide nanofibrous substrate will be fabricated and used as the support layer, and the bottom of the support layer will be modified with the zwitterionic polymer, 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC). The ultrathin active layer will be synthesized at low temperature with phase conversion, and its top will be coated with zwitterionic sulfobetaine methacrylate (SBMA). To obtain clean product water, a conventional reverse osmosis (RO) process will be integrated with FO filtration to form a hybrid FO-RO process. After fabrication and characterization, the novel membrane will be tested in the FO filtration system. A mixed ammonia-carbon dioxide draw solute will be used in the FO filtration process to take advantage of the availability of recycling options by using low-grade waste heat or thermal energy collected with a solar heater. The water produced from the final RO process will be tested for comparison with environmental disposal standards. The repelling and antifouling mechanisms will be elucidated through molecular dynamics simulations. The economic and environmental impacts of the hybrid FO-RO process for shale gas and oil PW treatment will be evaluated using a life cycle assessment approach.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/cees\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/86\/Picture1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2340 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/cees\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/86\/Picture1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"420\" height=\"190\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/cees\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/86\/Picture1-200x90.png 200w, https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/cees\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/86\/Picture1-300x136.png 300w, https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/cees\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/86\/Picture1-400x181.png 400w, https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/cees\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/86\/Picture1.png 420w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Figure: Schematic of a proposed PW treatment process<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/cees\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/86\/Excellence-in-Research-1.pdf\" target=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Excellence In Research<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"nav fusion-mobile-tab-nav\"><ul class=\"nav-tabs nav-justified\"><li><a class=\"tab-link\" data-toggle=\"tab\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"tab-c69890522194233850d\" aria-selected=\"false\" tabindex=\"-1\" id=\"mobile-fusion-tab-zero-wastepoultryprocessing\" href=\"#tab-c69890522194233850d\"><h4 class=\"fusion-tab-heading\">Zero-Waste Poultry Processing <\/h4><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"tab-pane fade fusion-clearfix\" role=\"tabpanel\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-labelledby=\"fusion-tab-zero-wastepoultryprocessing\" id=\"tab-c69890522194233850d\">\n<p><strong>Project: Zero-Waste Poultry Processing with Sequential Membrane Separation and Anaerobic Digestion, Kommalapati, Du,\u00a0 Awal (PVAMU) and C. Coufal (TAMU), US Department of Agriculture, 05\/20-04\/23, $500,000<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Poultry processing requires large quantities (98 billion gal\/year) of fresh water for sanitizing the equipment and cleaning the meat, resulting in process wastewater (PPW) contaminated with blood, lipids, protein and feces. The continuously increasing production of poultry meat in USA, inflicts severe strain on depleting fresh water resources and burden on municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTP). Conventional WWTP are not capable of removing trace levels of emerging contaminants and high levels of nitrogen and phosphorus (nutrients) present in PPW. We propose to address the dual challenge of sustainability and food safety of poultry processing with a novel zero-waste approach to handling PPW and biosolids separated from processing water. In our proposed project, PPW will be treated with an innovative sequential ultrafiltration, forward &amp; reverse osmosis (UF-FO-RO) system and the solid waste separated from PPW pretreatment will undergo 2-stage solid state anaerobic digestion (SS-AD) to prdouce renewable energy methane and fertilizer as by-product. The clean water obtained from sequential membrane process will be recycled back to the poultry processing stage, and the renewable methane generated from SS-AD will partially cover energy requirement of the membrane process. Our proposed goal of attaining zero-waste poultry processing to improve food safety and sustainability during poultry processing addresses key areas of ecological\/environmental concerns such as: (1) depleting freshwater resources, (2) spread of foodborne contaminants via inefficiently treated wastewater, (3) rising operating costs of poultry processing plants and (4) growing nutrient pollution in watersheds.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/cees\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/86\/Picture2.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-fusion-600 wp-image-2341 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/cees\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/86\/Picture2-600x273.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/cees\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/86\/Picture2-200x91.png 200w, https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/cees\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/86\/Picture2-300x137.png 300w, https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/cees\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/86\/Picture2-400x182.png 400w, https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/cees\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/86\/Picture2-600x273.png 600w, https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/cees\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/86\/Picture2-768x350.png 768w, https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/cees\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/86\/Picture2-800x365.png 800w, https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/cees\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/86\/Picture2.png 981w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Figure: \u00a0Existing and proposed process wastewater handling system in poultry processing<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/cees\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/86\/Zero-Waste-Poultry-Processing-1.pdf\" target=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Zero Waste Poultry Processing<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"nav fusion-mobile-tab-nav\"><ul class=\"nav-tabs nav-justified\"><li><a class=\"tab-link\" data-toggle=\"tab\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"tab-8d928f4b85f911c9b88\" aria-selected=\"false\" tabindex=\"-1\" id=\"mobile-fusion-tab-systems-basedintegratedprogram\" href=\"#tab-8d928f4b85f911c9b88\"><h4 class=\"fusion-tab-heading\">Systems-Based Integrated Program <\/h4><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"tab-pane fade fusion-clearfix\" role=\"tabpanel\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-labelledby=\"fusion-tab-systems-basedintegratedprogram\" id=\"tab-8d928f4b85f911c9b88\">\n<p><strong>Project: Systems-Based Integrated Program for Enhancing The Sustainability of Antibiotic-Restricted Poultry Production, USDA, Univ. of Connecticut, &#8211; Prairie View A&amp;M (Sub-award), Kommalapati, 09\/20-09\/24, $450,000.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The description of the entire project can be found at the link: <a href=\"https:\/\/cris.nifa.usda.gov\/cgi-bin\/starfinder\/0?path=fastlink1.txt&amp;id=anon&amp;pass=&amp;search=R=88710&amp;format=WEBLINK\">National Institute of Food Agriculture<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Scope of the Work in the Center for Energy and Environmental Sustain Prairie View A&amp;M University as follows<br \/>\n1.

An on-farm instrument shelter (OFIS) or mobile laboratory will be set up to monitor air pollutants in\/outside a poultry house by using air pollutant analyzers NH3, NOx, H2S, CO, CO2, volatile organic carbons (VOCs), PM10 and PM2.5. Besides air pollutants, indoor temperature, humidity, airflow circulating rate and air exchange with house ventilation system will also be monitored continuously;<br \/>\n3. Environmental impacts of supercapacitor (SC) electrodes produced from poultry litter will be investigated by using life cycle assessment;<br \/>\n4. Life cycle assessment of meat\/egg production from cradle to retailer in different geographical regions in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>The air quality monitoring work will be conducted in a poultry house in Arkansas, and the participating faculty from the University of Arkansas will assign Dr. Kommalapati to conduct air quality monitoring in the poultry house that they find. During air quality monitoring, we will NOT touch the poultry in the houses, just detect air pollutant levels of the poultry houses by using gas analyzers. We DO need to set up the gas analyzer shelter in the poultry house by entering the house. The life cycle assessment (LCA) work only needs a computer installed LCA software to complete the simulation work, and there no poultry house access needed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/cees\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/86\/Systems-Based-Integrated-Program-1.pdf\" target=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Systems Based Integrated Program<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"nav fusion-mobile-tab-nav\"><ul class=\"nav-tabs nav-justified\"><li><a class=\"tab-link\" data-toggle=\"tab\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"tab-40cee37ad774e354543\" aria-selected=\"false\" tabindex=\"-1\" id=\"mobile-fusion-tab-potentialuseofrenewablediesel\" href=\"#tab-40cee37ad774e354543\"><h4 class=\"fusion-tab-heading\">Potential Use of Renewable Diesel <\/h4><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"tab-pane fade fusion-clearfix\" role=\"tabpanel\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-labelledby=\"fusion-tab-potentialuseofrenewablediesel\" id=\"tab-40cee37ad774e354543\">\n<p><strong>Project: Potential Use of Renewable Diesel for Transportation in Texas and its Environmental Impacts.

A novel and key component of this work would be the development of a decision-making tool that would help determine where the renewable diesel processing plant should be built. Life cycle emissions of renewable diesel used for short-haul and long-haul trucking in Texas will be evaluated with the GREET model, a life cycle assessment (LCA) tool. Life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) of renewable diesel production in Texas will also be carried out with the consideration for some uncertainties of seasonal bioresource availability, transportation, and fuel production. The decision-making tool developed in this study would help the biofuel industry to make the decision on the development of renewable diesel in Texas. Faculty working on this research will integrate LCA as an important focus area for all senior and graduate-level civil and environmental engineering courses.

At the optimized concentrations of chemical additives such as fly ash and MgCl<sub>2<\/sub>; the efficacy of a two-stage temperature phased anaerobic co-digestion process, its kinetic parameters, struvite recovery, and the effluent evaluation studies are profound steps towards new process designs and serve as a benchmark of the research efforts at the NSF CREST Center for Energy and Environmental Sustainability at Prairie View A&amp;M University. Several more feedstocks were introduced in the later stages of the project. At its completion the research will help to improve the performance of digesters at goat CAFOs by incorporating cotton gin trash, food waste another agro-wastes thus adding to the renewable energy resources taking care of the environment-related concerns arising from manure mismanagement. It will enhance the farmer\u2019s income while adding to the renewable energy inventory of the southwest United States.<\/p>\n<p><a
