- Description
- Battelle Energy Alliance (BEA), Management & Operating Contractor of the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) is offering the opportunity to license, develop, and commercialize a new, patent pending, forward osmosis (FO) technology that may dramatically improve costs associated with traditional processes. License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include usage limitations. Additional development and support may be possible through a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with some or all of the funding being provided by the licensee(s). Technology Description BEA has developed a novel draw solute for use in the FO stage of a hybrid FO / Nanofiltration / Reverse Osmosis system. The draw solutes have been observed to give significant water flux with no back diffusion of the solute into the feed when tested with commercial cellulose acetate membranes. Only commercially available precursors are used to produce the new draw solute. Requirements Companies and research partners interested in participating in further development and commercialization of this technology should provide a brief expression of interest statement no later than thirty (30) days from the publication date of this Notice. The statement of interest should including the following information: •1. An overview of the entity including name, physical address of headquarters and major facilities, phone number and e-mail address of a representative who can be contacted regarding the expression of interest. •2. A description of the entity's technical expertise relevant to commercializing this technology. •3. A description of the entity's motivation for pursuing this opportunity. Suitable partners will be provided with further information on the technology. Such information may require execution of a Nondisclosure Agreement. Respondents wishing to enter into negotiations for a commercial license may be required to submit a business plan for the commercialization of the technology. Please provide your expression of interest by email to the undersigned no later than thirty (30) days from the publication date of this Notice.
