Parabolic Trough R&D Performing Organizations: National Renewable Energy Laboratory Sandia National Laboratories Key Technical Contacts: Henry Price (NREL, Primary Contact), 303-384-7437, henry_price@nrel.gov Doug Brosseau (SNL), 505-844-5218, DABROSS@sandia.gov DOE HQ Technology Manager: Thomas Rueckert, 202-586-0942, thomas.rueckert@hq.doe.gov FY 2004 Budgets: $2,207K (NREL), $972K (SNL) _____________________________________________________________________________________ Objectives • Support development of near-term parabolic trough technology for central station power generation. • Support development of advanced technologies for next-generation parabolic trough solar field, thermal energy storage, and power plant technologies to meet MYTP long-term goals. • Support the expansion of U.S. industry to supply parabolic trough technology. • Support development of SunLab to support parabolic trough technology development and testing. Accomplishments • Solargenix completed the final design and fabrication of its first commercial parabolic trough concentrator prototype and began construction of its first full-scale systems for testing at a test facility in Nevada. • NREL modeled a new selective coating that appears to meet the long-term selective property goals for parabolic trough receivers. • SNL completed a thermal-cycling test of filler material for a molten-salt thermocline storage system and verified that the filler material would survive a 30-year commercial lifetime. • Several new fluid classes have been identified for investigation that appear to have potential for application as higher temperature heat transfer fluids or as direct thermal energy storage fluids. • SunLab is supporting Arizona Public Service and Solargenix in the design of a new 1-MWe parabolic trough ORC solar power plant currently under construction in Arizona. SunLab is also working with Nexant to develop a thermocline storage system design for future testing at the plant. • The VSHOT instrument, used for measuring the slope error of a concentrator surface, was adapted for use with short focal length parabolic trough concentrators and used at the Solargenix factory to evaluate the slope error of their new concentrator. • FY 2004 USA Trough Initiative request for LOI was completed to support near-term technology. Three proposals were selected for negotiation of statements of work. Future Directions • Continue development of advanced receiver and concentrator technologies to meet long-term MYTP goals. • Support development of advanced thermal energy storage technologies. • Continue building lab capability to support trough testing and analysis. _____________________________________________________________________________________PDF Image | FY 2004 ANNUAL REPORT DOE Solar

Infinity Supercritical CO2 10 Liter Extractor Design and Worldwide Rights: The Infinity Supercritical 10L CO2 extractor is for botanical oil extraction, which is rich in terpenes and can produce shelf ready full spectrum oil. With over 5 years of development, this industry leader mature extractor machine has been sold since 2015 and is part of many profitable businesses. The process can also be used for electrowinning, e-waste recycling, and lithium battery recycling, gold mining electronic wastes, precious metals. CO2 can also be used in a reverse fuel cell with nafion to make a gas-to-liquids fuel, such as methanol, ethanol and butanol or ethylene. Supercritical CO2 has also been used for treating nafion to make it more effective catalyst. This NFT is for the purchase of worldwide rights which includes the design. More Info
