NICE3
The National Industrial Competitiveness through Energy, Environment,
and Economics Program (NICE3) is a U.S. Department of Energy program
designed to save energy, improve the environment and provide an
economic boost to U.S. industry by promoting competitiveness through
the development of commercialization of energy efficient goods,
with state of the art energy efficient production technologies and
practices.
DNR has been successful in securing two grants. The most recent
being a zero emissions mechanical seal for use in petroleum and
chemical processing pump. The technology will reduce downtime, increase
seal life, and reduce harmful environmental effects that arise due
to seal leakage.
Partners with DNR are LSU and ExxonMobil Chemical Processing Plant.
