- Description
- NASA�s Technology Transfer Program solicits inquiries from companies interested in obtaining license rights to commercialize, manufacture and market the following technology.� License rights may be issued on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis and may include specific fields of use.��NASA provides no funding in conjunction with these potential licenses. THE TECHNOLOGY: NASA Kennedy Space Center seeks partners interested in the commercial application of its Emulsified Zero-Valent Iron (EZVI).� Developed at the John F. Kennedy Space Center (KSC), this process provides for the in situ treatment of dense nonaqueous phase liquids, or DNAPLs.� This technology is one of the few methods available that can treat the DNAPL source.� EZVI also overcomes the limitations of current DNAPL treatment technologies by providing a method that is quick, effective, and cost-competitive.� EZVI is part of NASA's technology transfer program. This program seeks to promote the commercial use of NASA-developed technologies. Thousands of DNAPL-contaminated sites have been identified across the United States; however, few technologies exist that can treat DNAPLs in a timely and cost-effective manner.� For example, traditional pump-and-treat methods can require decades of treatment time and operational costs.� Other methods that treat DNAPLs in place, such as steam injection and radio-frequency-heating, are expensive and can cause contaminant mobilization.� NASA's EZVI technology overcomes these limitations by providing a method that is quick, effective, and cost-competitive.� EZVI involves placing nanoscale zero-valent iron particles into a surfactant-stabilized, biodegradable oil-in- water emulsion.� This emulsion is injected into the DNAPL contaminated zones of the subsurface.� The DNAPL is then pulled into the emulsion where the contaminant reacts with the zero-valent iron.� Through a process known as reductive dehalogenation, the DNAPL and its daughter products are degraded into ethene and other hydrocarbons.� These by-products are finally broken down through biological activities in the subsurface. To express interest in this opportunity, please submit a license application through NASA�s Automated Technology Licensing Application System (ATLAS) by visiting https://technology.nasa.gov/patent/TOP10-74 If you have any questions, please contact Lew Parrish, Technology Transfer Specialist, Kennedy Space Center at lewis.m.parrish@nasa.gov with the title of this Technology Transfer Opportunity as listed in this FBO notice and your preferred contact information.� For more information about licensing other NASA-developed technologies, please visit the NASA Technology Transfer Portal at https://technology.nasa.gov/ These responses are provided to members of NASA�s Technology Transfer Program for the purpose of promoting public awareness of NASA-developed technology products, and conducting preliminary market research to determine public interest in and potential for future licensing opportunities.��No follow-on procurement is expected to result from responses to this Notice.
