Description

Device and Method to Measure Multi-Phase Mass Flow in a Pipe. This is a licensing opportunity with Bechtel BWXT Idaho, LLC (BBWI), the prime operating contractor for the Department of Energy at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL). BBWI seeks a Licensee to manufacture and sell its flowmeter technology which consists of Patents US 5641915, US5717146, US5834659, US5827977, US5886267, US5905208 and New Zealand Patent 303801. The technology calculates the flow of fluids by measuring the differential pressure as the fluid passes through an elbow in the pipeline. The technology provides a low cost, low maintenance, non-intrusive and highly accurate method for measuring fluid flows. The non intrusive design makes the flowmeter ideal for measuring liquid flow in a harsh environment. The technology, which was previously deployed commercially for measuring water in the agricultural irrigation industry, is potentially also adaptable to other fields of use such as Oil & Gas, Chemical, and Mining. This is not an opportunity to provide goods or services to BBWI or the Department of Energy. Request for Interest (RFI) will close to response 30 days after publication. Interested parties should send e-mail to lassjp@inel.gov (Julius Lassiter, Senior Account Executive, Technology Transfer & Commercialization, BBWI). If you do not have e-mail access, send regular mail to Julius Lassiter, Senior Account Executive, Technology Transfer & Commercialization, BBWI, P. O. Box 1625, Idaho Falls, ID 83415-3805.
