A -- GEOSIPHON CELL TECHNOLOGY POC John Olschon, Telephone 803-725-3369 E-MAIL: Click here to contact John Olschon via e-mail, john.olschon@srs.gov. This is a special notice being issued by Westinghouse Savannah River Company (WSRC), management and operating contractor for the U.S. Department of Energy's Savannah River Site (SRS) near Aiken, South Carolina. The purpose of this notice is to determine public interest in the possible licensing of a technology called "Geosiphon." The "Geosiphon Cell" is a passive, in situ, groundwater treatment system which utilizes a siphon between two points of natural head difference to induce greater than natural flow through a permeable treatment media. It requires no external energy input to induce the greater than natural flow. Therefore, it minimizes the operating and maintenance costs associated with pump and treat systems, and it reduces the clean-up times and subsequent costs associated with funnel and gate and continuous permeable wall treatment systems. Respondents will be provided with a technical brief and instructions for preparing and submitting a business plan, an integral element of the licensing process. Responses to this notice must be received by November 22,1997. Business plans must be submitted no later than December 22,1997. Please contact John Olschon by telephone at 803-725-3369; by facsimile at 803-725-4988; by e-mail at john.olschon@srs.gov; or by mail at Westinghouse Savannah River Company, Savannah River Site, ATTN: John Olschon, Building 773-41A, Room 240, Aiken, SC 29808. This is not a solicitation for a formal contract, it is a request for Expressions of Interest only. (0302)
