Technical Services for Large Scale Material Synthesis, Evaluation and Prototype Support

Added: Aug 08, 2017 1:45 pm The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) conducts basic and applied research programs focusing on the development and application of new materials and devices in support of the Naval Science and Technology (S&T) Focus Area, Power and Energy. The scientific challenges and roadblocks that NRL continues to study at the basic science level are 1) the development of new catalyst materials for alternative energy and operational fuel development and 2) the advancement of new materials and technologies for capturing and processing environmental sources of carbon and hydrogen as feedstocks for alternative energy and operational fuel production.

The scope of work is to provide technical expertise, experience, and assistance with real-scale testing and evaluation in support of NRL research programs in the following areas:
1. Commercial scale catalyst material synthesis
2. Commercial scale catalyst testing and evaluating
3. Consulting, evaluating, designing, and testing systems and subsystem components for short term storage of feedstocks
4. Design support and prototype support
5. Scientific/Engineering/Technician manpower support.
