Overview of the Chemical Technology Division, Oak Ridge National Laboratory
The Chemical Technology Division (Chem Tech), which has /approximately/350 staff members, is the largest research and development (RandD) division at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The Division has outstanding facilities and personnel capabilities in chemical engineering and chemistry, as well as significant competence in several other engineering and scientific disciplines. It has major roles in a broad range of ORNL programs for which chemical processing is a critical element. These programs are designed to explore selected aspects of nuclear and nonnuclear energy technologies and to develop advanced processes and systems to meet national priorities. Research and development activities include basic and applied research and engineering, engineering development and assessments, and the operation of various pilot plants and specialized facilities. Most of the research programs are funded by the US Department of Energy (DOE), although some important projects are carried out for other government agencies, and limited support is derived from industrial sources. The major objectives of Chem Tech are addressed.
