- Description
- The US Environmental Protection Agency's National Risk Management Research Laboratory (NRMRL) has a requirement for a contractor to design, manufacture, and install the Phase II - Flue Gas Cleaning System (FGCS) portion of the Multi pollutant Control Research Facility (MPCRF) operated by NRMRL's Air Pollution Prevention and Control Division (APPCD)in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. The MPCRF supports research and development of new flue gas cleaning technologies for stationary sources of air pollution. By using a multiple fuel combustor to provide flue gas and state-of-art emission control technologies, the research studies can closely mimic actual emission sources, while developing cutting -edge techniques and hardware to meet current and future emissions regulations. Phase I, the multiple -fuel combustor was awarded in May 2001under EPA Contract 68-C-01-003 to Arcadis, Geraghty & Miller. The MPCRF is to operate in two "modes" based upon the operation of the research combustor. During research testing when coal or oil is being combusted, the MPCRF operates on coal or oil perhaps 8 -12 hours per day and the balance on natural gas to maintain system temperatures and gas flow. When specialized tests are being conducted, the system will operate on natural gas only and "doped" with surrogate components. The MPCRF Combustor is sized so that viable multi pollutant flue gas cleaning technologies may be tested, modeled and scaled up for commercial applications. For wet-dry gas absorption and electrostatic-based particle removal technologies, this is typically 1000 - 2000 acfm. In addition, the combustor shall have gas velocity and temperature profiles reasonably close to commercial systems, such that combustor modifications and combustor sorbent-particle interactions may be coupled with cooler flue gas cleaning technologies. The combustor shall be able to fire pre-ground (pulverized) coal, distillate oil and/or natural gas at 3 - 6 million Btu/hr, yielding the above flue gas flow at 300 degree Fahrenheit (150 degrees Celsius), entering into the MPCRF's wet and dry flue gas cleaning systems. Under Phase II, the Contractor will provide two parallel flue gas cleaning systems. One system will be a saturated gas (wet) flue gas cleaning system removing pollutants as a liquid, and the other will be a semi-dry facility removing collected pollutants as a dry solid residue. The EPA anticipates awarding a firm fixed price contract for this requirement using full and open competitive procedures. The NAICS Code is 33911101. All responsible sources who submit a proposal will be considered. Solicitation PR-CI-01-12567 will be posted on the Internet where it may be downloaded. The direct link URL is http://www.epa.gov/oam/cinn_cmd. No hard copies will be available. It is the responsibility of offerors to frequently check FEDBIZOPS or the EPA website address for updates or changes. It is anticipated that this solicitation will be released in mid June 2002 with responses due in thirty (30) days. See Numbered Note 26.
