DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Morgantown Energy Technology Center; Financial Assistance Award
(Grant Renewal)
AGENCY: U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Morgantown Energy Technology
Center.
ACTION: Notice of noncompetitive financial assistance renewal award.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Based upon a determination made pursuant to 10 CFR
600.7(b)(2)(i) Criteria (A), the DOE, Morgantown Energy Technology
Center (METC) gives notice of its plans to award a grant renewal to
Syracuse University, Department of Chemical Engineering & Materials
Science Department, c/o Office of Sponsored Programs, 113 Bowne Hall,
Syracuse, NY 13244-1200, in the amount of approximately $150,000 and
covers a twelve (12) month budget period.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Beverly J. Harness, I-07, U.S.
Department of Energy, Morgantown Energy Technology Center, P.O. Box
880, Morgantown, West Virginia 26507-0880. Telephone: (304) 291-4089.
Procurement Request No. 21-94MC28072.501.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The pending award is based on a renewal
application for continuing work of an activity presently being funded
by DOE and for which competition for support would have a significant
adverse effect on continuity or completion of the activity. The grant
is to provide financial assistance to Syracuse University for
conducting research focused on the utilization of low-quality natural
gas by economically upgrading the gas to pipeline quality via membrane
separation processes. The objective of this follow-on effort is to
evaluate the potential usefulness of membrane separation processes for
the removal of acid gases, water vapor, and nitrogen from low-quality
natural gas. The effort will comprise gas permeability and separation
measurements, process design studies, and economic evaluations using
novel membrane configurations which were developed under the current
grant. By providing financial support, DOE expects to stimulate
utilization of U.S. natural gas resources, reduce oil imports, and help
stabilize our energy supply.
