SOFTWARE LICENSING OPPORTUNITY Wetlands Geoprocessor: Pioneering Water Purification and Cost Analysis Tool CW-23-59
Summary
AI-generated · Aug 23, 2025Licensing opportunity for the Wetlands Geoprocessor, a software model that evaluates and forecasts the effectiveness and installation costs of surface-flow constructed wetlands for water purification. It blends scientific equations, statistical models, and literature findings to produce mean cost estimates with confidence intervals and can adjust input parameters for different site conditions. It aims to support accurate nitrate and phosphorus load reductions, budget planning, and decision-making across environmental agencies, municipalities, agriculture, water-resource managers, researchers, consultants, developers, conservation groups, and public utilities. Development status is Alpha and requires an expert-level user with a limited interface.
Managed by Battelle Energy Alliance, LLC on behalf of Idaho National Laboratory (INL), the licensing approach emphasizes flexibility and affordability, with a focus on enabling small businesses to access and commercialize the technology. This is a licensing of intellectual property, not a government purchase, procurement decision, or external development service. There is no material change between the two notices; both describe the same alpha-stage opportunity and partnership with INL/Battelle.
SOFTWARE LICENSING OPPORTUNITY Wetlands Geoprocessor: Pioneering Water Purification and Cost Analysis Tool The Wetlands Geoprocessor calculates and predicts the effectiveness and cost of constructed wetlands in water purification. It uses advanced scientific models to ensure precision and reliability. Overview: Constructed wetlands play a crucial role in mitigating water pollution, especially from agricultural runoff. However, traditional methods of evaluating their effectiveness and cost are often limited and non-systematic. To address this gap, the Wetlands Geoprocessor was developed. This tool integrates comprehensive scientific data and modeling to provide accurate predictions. Given the growing environmental concerns and the demand for sustainable practices, the market for such analytical tools is expanding. This appeals to a wide range of sectors, including environmental agencies, agriculturalists, and urban planners.
