- Description
- Westinghouse Savannah River Company (WSRC), managing contractor of the Savannah River Site for the Department of Energy near Aiken, South Carolina, is soliciting expressions of interest from companies wishing to obtain license rights to market and distribute the following technology to commercial customers. License rights may be granted on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use. WSRC also may be available to assist in further research and development of the technology under a cooperative research and development agreement and/or may provide technical assistance during commercialization of the technology under a license agreement. The technology is a new method to produce biosurfactants under in situ and ex situ remediation conditions. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) of 2- to 3-rings such as naphthalene, phenanthrene, and fluoranthene along with PAH degradation intermediates are degraded and removed with this technology. Also degraded and removed are 4-ring and higher molecular weight PAHs including pyrene. In addition, this biocatalyst has surfactant properties produced by biosurfactant monomers useful in the removal of metals from contaminated soil and substrates. Any company interested in licensing this technology must respond with a letter of interest (may be submitted by email) no later than January 9, 2004, summarizing the company?s business and technical expertise and motivation for pursuing this opportunity. Qualified companies will be provided with further information on the technology. Such information may require an executed nondisclosure agreement. Respondents wishing to enter into negotiations for a license will be required to submit a business plan prior to licensee selection and negotiations. Company qualifications should include, but not be limited to, evidence of successful commercialization of compatible product lines, sound product develop plan, reasonable schedule for product launch, sufficient manufacturing capacity, global distribution networks, evidence of sufficient financial resources for product development and launch. Questions and expressions of interest may be addressed to Joseph P. Dugan, telephone (803) 725-0848 or (800) 228-3843; Fax (803) 725-4988; e-mail joseph.dugan@srs.gov; or address Westinghouse Savannah River Company, Building 773-41A #243, Aiken, SC 29808.
