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.
