Pronghorn Technologies, LLC has received $300,000 in Phase II Enhancement funding for further development of its total residual oxidant (TRO) sensor. The funds include $150,000 each from the U.S. Department of Defense and NAVSEA. The work will be performed by Pronghorn at its location in the Wyoming Technology Business Center in Laramie, Wyoming.
In development since 2005, the TRO sensor is designed for use with advanced shipboard desalination systems. The compact in-stream sensor is capable of continuously detecting and reporting residual oxidant levels in hypochlorite-enhanced seawater streams used to kill marine organisms.
"The 12-month Phase II Enhancement program provides the necessary funding to complete development of the TRO sensor for shipboard validations by the US Navy," said Weston Welch, Pronghorn Technologies COO/CFO. "Our sensor will automate water disinfection systems which will eliminate time-consuming maintenance and prolong the life of expensive equipment while simultaneously protecting marine ecosystems from excessive chlorine discharge."
Problems with current state-of-the-art sensors include an inability to provide real-time measurements, fragile construction, labor-intensive maintenance, and inaccuracy due to calibration issues.
Pronghorn Technologies, LLC and ADA Technologies, Inc. have received nearly $1.5 million in grant monies for the total residual oxidant sensor R&D since 2005.
