Description

The UltraSep Acoustic Separation Platform is offered for technology licensing. It is an intelligent ultrasonic system that continuously tracks eigenfrequencies, locks ultrasonic output to resonance, and optimizes energy‑per‑removal to enable low‑energy, high‑efficiency solid‑liquid separation across multiple industries. The platform includes patented acoustic physics, ultra‑low‑power optimization algorithms, chemistry‑enhanced separation methods, and proprietary control software. Licensing would grant the partner access to the hardware design, software, and associated IP portfolio, allowing commercial deployment in target markets such as nuclear materials processing, rare‑earth recovery, industrial separation, food & beverage, pharmaceutical, bioprocessing, environmental remediation, and high‑value particle recovery. • Core technology comprises resonance‑locked acoustic excitation, energy‑optimization algorithms, and integrated control software (C++/LabVIEW). • IP is protected by two issued U.S. patents (expiring 2037 and 2039) and a pending patent application filed in 2024. • The platform is modular and scalable, suitable for deployment in existing processing facilities or as stand‑alone units. • Licensing terms are to be negotiated directly with Los Alamos National Laboratory; no formal solicitation or award amount is disclosed. • Potential commercial partners can leverage the technology to replace centrifugation or filtration, achieving lower power consumption, reduced mechanical complexity, and improved recovery yields.

Budget estimate

$500,000 – $2,000,000

Given the absence of a disclosed contract value, a reasonable estimate can be derived from typical technology licensing deals for advanced process platforms. Licensing fees often include an upfront upfront payment (e.g., $0.5‑1 M) plus milestone payments and royalties based on commercial sales. Assuming a mid‑size industrial partner, total earnings for the licensor could range from several hundred thousand dollars to a few million over the first few years. Therefore, the expected budget range is roughly $0.5 M to $2 M. Factors influencing the final amount include the scale of deployment, royalty percentages, and any additional development services the partner may require.
