The Award database is continually updated throughout the year. As a result, data for FY24 is not expected to be complete until March, 2025.

Download all SBIR.gov award data either with award abstracts (290MB) or without award abstracts (65MB). A data dictionary and additional information is located on the Data Resource Page. Files are refreshed monthly.

The SBIR.gov award data files now contain the required fields to calculate award timeliness for individual awards or for an agency or branch. Additional information on calculating award timeliness is available on the Data Resource Page.

  1. High Temperature Membrane Reactors

    SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: 08b

    Membrane reactors have the potential to improve reactivity and productivity of various chemical syntheses, including transesterification. However, to be of value, these systems must provide a higher use temperature, improved chemical resistance, and better mass transfer. This project will identify chemically- and thermally-resistant membrane components, fabricate a membrane reactor based on thes ...

  2. Dewatering Membrane for Hazy Hydrodesulfurization Unit Effluents

    SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: 09

    Many refinery product streams, particularly those from Ultra Low Hydrodesulfurisation units, are prone to haze due to water emulsions. Haze is also problematic for biodiesel production, as hazy fuel cannot be used until the haze settles or is removed, which creates costly scheduling and shipping delays. This project will develop a novel membrane process for the removal of dissolved and dispersed ...

  3. Graphite Foam Heat Exchanger Technology for Energy Recovery

    SBC: Thermal Centric Corporation            Topic: 11

    The recovery of heat currently wasted in exhaust gases can reduce fuel consumption in almost every commercial and industrial sector. In the electricity generation sector alone, even modest improvements in energy recovery effectiveness would result in billions of dollars in savings annually. New materials made from conductive graphite have created a significant opportunity to produce heat exchang ...

  4. Compact Polycapillary-Based Microbeam X-Ray Fluorecence Analysis System for Remote Monitoring of Metal Contamination

    SBC: X-RAY OPTICAL SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: N/A

    60740 Conventional X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) analysis, used in DOE environmental management operations, is usually performed off-site and cannot provide sufficient detection sensitivity for certain types of materials. In-situ applications are difficult because such systems are bulky, heavy-weight, power-consuming, and difficult to maintain. This project will develop a prototype polycapillary- ...

  5. Novel Methods to Measure Penetrator Dynamics in Multi-Layer Geometries

    SBC: Thornton Tomasetti, Inc.            Topic: DTRA07011

    In Phase I of this effort we analyzed the structural response of a BLU 109 during typical penetration events. Based on these finite element results, we proposed and demsonstrated a simple robust concept for a passive penetrator sensor that identifies the material being penetrated and also correlates strongly with its underground trajectory. Such a sensor would obviously provide valuable informatio ...

  6. A Novel Oxygen Separation Membrane for Oxygen Production

    SBC: Enogetek, Inc.            Topic: 23

    The production of oxygen is ranked among the top five commodity chemicals in the U.S. However, low energy efficiencies and high costs are preventing the widespread implementation of traditional oxygen separation technologies. This project will develop and demonstrate a novel, low-cost, high-flux, high-selectivity, highly-efficient oxygen separation membrane. The Phase I effort demonstrated that ...

  7. Intensified Process for Biodiesel Production

    SBC: UNITED ENVIRONMENT & ENERGY, LLC            Topic: 07

    Although interest in biodiesel is rapidly increasing, the process by which biodiesel is synthesized has not changed much in the last two decades and is far from efficient. Currently, most biodiesel is made by a homogeneous-catalyst-based transesterification process, wherein soybean oil is reacted with methanol in the presence of sodium methoxide. After transesterification, the homogeneous alkali ...

  8. Advanced Sealing Technology for Hydrogen Compressors

    SBC: MOHAWK INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY, INC.            Topic: 03

    In support of the hydrogen economy, the DOE seeks to develop delivery technologies for hydrogen as an energy carrier for transportation and stationary power. However, the 2003 DOE Strategic Initiatives for Hydrogen Delivery Workshop determined that existing hydrogen compressor designs cannot meet the need for a reliable, efficient, and cost-competitive transportation infrastructure. This project ...

  9. A Surface Plasma Ion Source fo Heavy Negative Ion Beams

    SBC: BROOKHAVEN TECHNOLOGY GROUP INC            Topic: N/A

    60693 This project will build and characterize a high current, high brightness Heavy Negative Ion Surface Plasma Source, for use in nuclear physics research, with geometry and other source parameters optimized for production of intense mA range beams and without unwanted contamination. The source will be capable of producing beams in the range from boron to uranium. In Phase I, compute ...

  10. High Voltage, High Power, High di/dt, Low Inductance Solid State Switch

    SBC: APPLIED PULSED POWER, INC.            Topic: N/A

    61042 Thyratrons, ignitrons, and spark gaps are used to switch tens of kilovolts at high current and at high rate of current risetime in high power modulators for high energy particle accelerators and other applications. These devices have one or more disadvantages, including high cost, limited lifetime, large expense for maintenance and/or replacement, and complexity of mounting, cooling ...
