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. Harsh Fluorochemical Separations

    SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: N/A

    60311 There are economic and environmental justifications for replacing conventional distillation processes with simpler membrane separations in certain applications. However, at present, there are no commercial membranes able to withstand the aggressive conditions associated with important industrial chemicals, including hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen chloride, and ozone. Prototype, chemic ...

  2. Membranes for Reverse Organic-Air Separations

    SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: N/A

    60395 Emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) from gasoline refueling facilities continue to be an energy, safety, and environmental issue. In such applications, it is desired to vent the air in the system and keep the VOC behind. This project will develop a reverse separation membrane (RSM) system that allows for rapid venting of air while retaining the gasoline in underground storag ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. HydroMax- Overcoming the Challenges of Industrial Coal Gasification

    SBC: Diversified Energy Corporation            Topic: 18

    Volatile natural gas prices are negatively impacting the U.S. industrial sector, which consumes approximately 6.6 trillion cubic feet of natural gas annually. Over the last 24 months, natural gas prices have fluctuated between $5 and $12 per MMBtu, resulting in high and unpredictable fuel costs for the industrial sector. With abundant coal resources, an opportunity exists for the U.S. industrial ...

  5. Low-Cost Arc Process to Produce Single-Walled Nano-TubesT Using Coal-Based Starting Materials

    SBC: ATS-MER, LLC            Topic: N/A

    60756 Recently discovered fullerene nano-tubes (also known as Single-Walled Nano-Tubes, SWNT) may have wide applicability because of their unique structure, as well as their physical and chemical properties. This project will develop a continuous reactor to economically produce high-yield SWNT using coal-based materials. The proposed reactor will utilize a flow-through design and allow c ...

  6. The Development and Commercial Demonstration of Reliable Highly Adherent Metalization of AIN

    SBC: ATS-MER, LLC            Topic: N/A

    60318 The substitution of AlN for beryllia (in microelectronics, high-power microwave tubes, heat sinks, etc.), to eliminate the adverse environmental and health impacts of beryllia, is presently hampered by a lack of suitable techniques for metallizing the AlN. Non-oxide ceramics such as AlN present a significant challenge for traditional metallization approaches used for conventional oxid ...

  7. Novel Joining Technique for Oxide-Dispersion Strengthened Iron Aluminide Alloys

    SBC: ATS-MER, LLC            Topic: N/A

    60754 Oxide-dispersion strengthened (ODS) iron aluminide alloys have been shown to exhibit high creep strength and excellent corrosion resistance. However, it is difficult to join the alloys because the dispersed oxides agglomerate, thus compromising the mechanical properties of the base material. Diffusion bonding, in which two clean surfaces are joined by diffusion under high temperature ...

  8. Microchannel Magnetic Coolers with Negative Magnetocaloric Effect

    SBC: ATS-MER, LLC            Topic: 11

    The recent discovery of a negative magnetocaloric effect in CoMnT1-xT¿x alloys (where T, T¿ = Si, Ge, Sn) at room temperature opens new prospects for the development of high-efficiency solid micro-cooling devices. This project will combine these novel alloys with cutting edge technology for microchannel regenerators to develop lightweight, compact, low cost, and environmentally friendly cooling ...

  9. A HIGH PERFORMANCE HEAT EXCHANGER FOR HIGH HEAT FLUX COMPO- NENTS OF FUSION REACTORS

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: N/A

    ACTIVE COOLING IS ESSENTIAL FOR FUSION REACTOR COMPONENTS EXPOSED TO HIGH HEAT FLUX LEVELS OVER LONG PULSE DURATIONS. EXISTING WATER COOLING CONCEPTS FACE A POTENTIAL PROBLEM WITH TRITIUM PERMEATION. HELIUM GAS COOLING CONCEPTS NOW BEING CONSIDERED SUFFER FROM LOW HEAT TRANSFER COEFFICIENTS AND HIGH PRESSURE DROP AND PUMPING POWER. THESE EXISTING TECHNIQUES, THOUGH ACCEPTABLE FOR PRESENT FUSION DE ...

  10. AN ULTRASONIC DEVICE FOR DIRECT MEASUREMENT OF LARGE AMPLI- TUDE MOTIONS IN SEISMIC TESTING

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: N/A

    SEISMIC TESTS PROVIDE IMPORTANT DATA FOR IMPROVING THE SAFETY OF PIPING DESIGNS AND THE COST-EFFECTIVENESS OF DESIGN STANDARDS. UNFORTUNATELY, DISPLACEMENT MEASUREMENTS AT LOW FREQUENCIES FROM SUCH TESTS ARE GENERALLY UNAVAILABLE, EITHER BECAUSE DOUBLE INTEGRATION OF ACCELEROMETER SIGNALS CAUSES INACCURACIES OR BECAUSE LASER BASED EQUIPMENT IS TOO COSTLY TO ALLOW FOR SIMULTANEOUS MEASUREMENTS IN S ...
