Orono, Maine. Zeomatrix, a Maine business engineering zeolites for a cleaner environment, announced that they have received $168,628 from the Maine Technology Institute for the commercial development of a biodegradable odor control tarp. The award is to be used for the detailed engineering of prototypes and testing.
“Zeolites have a variety of applications and tremendous potential in odor control and environmental remediation.”
The project will use patent pending technology developed by Zeomatrix and The University of Maine. Zeomatrix plans testing full-scale prototypes in 2008, and upon successful testing, to offer the product to industrial customers such as the landfill industry.
