A -- LOW COST PROCESS TO MANUFACTURE BIODIESEL FROM WASTE FRENCH FRY OIL & GLYCERIDES SOL Cbd2399 DUE 060199 POC David R. Anderson WEB: Idaho National Engineering & Environmental Laboratory, http://www.inel.gov/procurement/litco/index.htm. E-MAIL: David R. Anderson, andedr2@inel.gov. Low Cost Process to Manufacture Biodiesel from Waste French Fry Oil and other Glycerides. This is a potential technology development and licensing opportunity with Lockheed Martin Idaho Technologies Company ("LIMTCO"), the prime operating contractor for the Department of Energy at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory ("INEEL"). The technology is a low cost single-phase process for manufacturing biodiesel from glyceride wastes such as spent french fry oil, used food processing oils, off-specification vegetable oils, and fats. The continuous synthesis process produces a high-grade diesel-type fuel with reduced manufacturing time, compared to currently used methods, and at a lower cost. The process also produces a high-grade glycerol as a secondary by-product. The resulting fuel burns cleaner and produces less pollution than diesel fuel. The process eliminates the need for the use of water in the production of biodiesel and produces a fuel that is free of aromatic compounds and is rapidly biodegradable. LMITCO is seeking a written indication of interest from industry partners interested in funding a collaborative technology development project and/or entering into a license agreement for the purpose of developing and commercializing this technology. This is not an opportunity to provide goods or services to LMITCO or the Department of Energy. This Request for Interest ("RFI") will close to response thirty (30) days after publication. Interested parties should send e-mail to andedr2@inel.gov (David R. Anderson, Sr. Account Executive, Technology Transfer and Business Development Office, LMITCO). Communication may also be sent by facsimile at: 208-526-0953 or by regular mail with attention to Mr. David R. Anderson, Sr. Account Executive, Technology Transfer and Business Development Office, LMITCO, PO Box 1625, Idaho Falls, ID 83415-3805. Posted 04/29/99 (W-SN325892). (0119)
