Synopsis

A -- NOVEL PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF AMMONIA SOL 06-12 DUE 103006 NAICS: 325188 The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has discovered a simple process for producing ammonia on a small scale basis. The process appears to be simple, economical, and ideal for supplying small amounts of ammonia on-site and on-demand. Further details about the technology may be provided upon inquiry. The INL is soliciting interest from qualified partners interested in participating inprojects and commercializing this technology. It is anticipated that the project will be carried out through a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with funding support being provided by the participant(s). The INL is seeking patent protection on the process and rights to practice the intellectual property may be licensed exclusively or nonexclusive. The INL invites interested parties to contact us regarding the details of licensing and implementing this technology. Note that a nondisclosure agreement will be necessary to discuss the technology in detail. Interested parties should respond within two weeks of the first posting of this notice.
