It remains a principal technology for pollutant removal from industrial waste flows to this day. Cottrell recognized the business potential of his invention and decided to use it to fund scientific research through the creation of the Research Corporation in 1912 to which he assigned his and other patents. later served as director of the U.S. Bureau of Mines and was instrumental in helium production during World War I.
