- Description
- Washington Savannah River Company (WSRC), managing contractor of the Savannah River Site for the Department of Energy, solicits 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 groundwater treatment technique that employs agricultural oils to stimulate endogenous microbes which accelerates the cleanup.

This technology uses the physical and chemical properties of floating, separate phase, liquid organic substrates and system geometry to produce a passive treatment system for contaminated waters. The system utilizes a long-term, slow release, electron donor/carbon source for microorganisms. The electron donor/carbon source is fairly constant and is not subject to deactivation, plugging, and hydraulic failure. Any company interested in licensing this technology must respond with a letter of interest (may be submitted by email) no later that 30 days from the publication date of this Notice summarizing the company?s business and technical expertise and motivation for pursuing this opportunity.
