8. Achieving More with Less: Efficiency and Economics of Motor Decision Tools
Project Completed May 2006
9. Use of Pressurized Ozone and Compressed Air Flotation with Membrane Filtration for Industrial Process Water Treatment at a Forest Products Facility
In 18 months this project will demonstrate a membrane filtration system at a molded fiber paper mill. The process will reduce the amount of fresh water needed for mill operations. This project expands upon a complementary project, which focuses only on the ozone system in the plant stream. Integrating the ozone process with efficient membrane filtration will provide an overall efficiency not available with separate independent systems.

Distributed Energy Resources
12. Distributed Energy Infrastructure Analysis and Pilot Project for New Jersey and Pennsylvania Targeted in the Small and Medium Sized Commercial and Industrial Sectors
This one-year project will evaluate a baseline of distributed energy resources (DER) for all markets, as well as the financial, regulatory and technical barriers to expanding DER in the two states. Based on the analysis, a policy manual will be produced, and pilot projects will be conducted with about 30 to 50 MW of DER installed in each state.
