- Description
- Sandia National Laboratories, the lead research and development laboratory for the Department of Energy, is seeking business partners in the water systems field to develop a novel coagulant for front-end water treatment, or at-the-source water treatment. Sandia is seeking a company or companies to commercially license the technology described in this posting. Commercial licensees will have the opportunity to obtain a license to the intellectual properties for reasonable compensation. It is expected that the company (ies) that works with Sandia to develop the Optimized alumina coagulants for water treatment technology will promptly incorporate it into a commercial product. Potential partners must provide Sandia information describing their ability to research, design, develop, manufacture, distribute, market, and service fully functional water treatment systems. Our coagulant is similar to the pre-hydrolyzed alumina; but is significantly stabilized by substitution of a small amount of gallium for the aluminum. The conditions of surface waters that are treated by coagulants are constantly changing due to seasonal or event-driven fluctuations (i.e. temperature, pH, dissolved solids). The addition of gallium results in a coagulant that addresses some of the drawbacks of commercially available pre-hydrolyzed alumina. Specifically, the gallium provides longer shelf-life, resistance to pre-aggregation that reduces efficacy, and is effective in a wider range of water conditions. In comparative studies, the gallium-substituted coagulant is more effective for removal of all contaminants tested; micro-organisms in particular. To express interest in this opportunity, please respond by mail to Christopher Cuaron by 31 October 2009 at: Sandia National Laboratories, MS 0114, P.O. Box 5800, Albuquerque New Mexico 87185-0115, E-mail: ccuaron@sandia.gov, Phone: (505) 844-8046. Please indicate the date and title of the FBO notice. Include company and contact information, as well as a description of how your company meets Sandia’s criteria and could best contribute to the formation of a CRADA partnership or license and the subsequent commercialization of this technology. Sandia is a multiprogram laboratory operated by Sandia Corporation, a Lockheed Martin Company, for the United States Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration under Contract DE-AC04-94AL85000.
