- Description
- Fluidized Bed Main Control Panel and Control Center Electrical Component Replacement Sources Sought Red River Army Depot (RRAD) is seeking interested outside vendors for the electrical upgrade of the Fluidized Bed Rubber Degrader (denuding) System (FBRDS) master controls panel. The FBRDS is a 14,700 square foot equipment enclosure with two separate-identical denuding operations designed to remove rubber from metal components by thermal oxidation. The system operates under a Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) Air Quality Levels established in 1993. The equipment system consists of a machine room, fluidized bed degrader reactor, thermal post combustion chamber, and gas stream bag house. The machine room is the area where natural gas, oxygen, water and compressed air are integrated into the system. A series of mechanical and electrical components are necessary for general regulation and control of gas, air, and water mixture. The fluidized bed reactor is filled with quartz sand, when in operation air is pushed from the bottom circulating the sand bringing the sand to a "bubbling liquid-like state." A pilot burner located above the surface of the sand ignites the rising air/gas mixture causing the entire surface of the sand to be covered in flame. The combustion energy is transferred directly to the sand and due to convection currents caused by the rising air/gas mixture; the sand in the reservoir is heated to temperatures above 800° F. Thermal post combustion chamber is the area where the rest of the gases emerging from the fluidization will ignite. When parts are lowered into the sand, the rubber is quickly gasified (a chemical reaction in the presence of heat). The resulting gases rise from the fluidized bed and are immediately combusted by the constantly burning flame on top of the sand. The gas stream contains partially oxidized and un-oxidized compounds. To remove these unwanted compounds, the gas stream is passed through an afterburner operating a 1620° F where the compounds are completely burned. To reduce noxious compounds, specifically Sulfur Oxides, lime is injected into the gas stream. Most of the Sulfur compounds combine with the lime, forming solid particles that are removed from the gas stream in the ceramic filter bag house. The control system consists of a supervision PC and Allen Bradley Control logix PLC network, which are interconnected through Ethernet protocol. The process is managed by a SCADA system that is installed on two PC's in an operator control room. The system is critical to support RRAD's Department of Defense rebuild mission for track and track components. The scope of work shall consist of replacing electrical components in the main system electrical control center(s). The current or old components shall be new and identical or similar-to existing parts, to include contactors, circuit breakers, disconnects, interlocks, slim line relays, variable frequency drives (VFDs), transformers, terminal block relays, temp limiters, timing relays and burner controls. They are to be purchased and delivered to RRAD and installed by the vendor, AND the system shall be tested for functionality of replaced components within the time frame of four weeks upon the delivery of all required purchase components. The prospective vendor shall be able to meet the following minimum requirements: 1) Knowledge of sand-degrading systems and functions, to include post combustion of volatile gases. 2) Have a minimum of one Master Electrician or Electrical Engineer on staff. 3) Experience in plant-system electrical component replacement/upgrade. No reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this Sources Sought or any follow-up information requests. The purpose of this Sources Sought is to gain knowledge of interest, capabilities and qualifications of various members of Small and Large Business Community to include 8(a), Historically Underutilized Business Zones (HUB-Zone), and Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) to compete and perform a Firm Fixed Price Contract. No award will be made as a result of this Sources Sought. This Sources Sought is only to seek information from industry. Please submit letter of interest to include: 1. Any certifications 2. Any past Government awards 3. Business size and status 4. List of prior projects that involve the supply of the proposed system and/or systems that are similar to the system being proposed. 5. Related product manuals/brochures 6. Related sub-assembly testing references, including contact information, shall be furnished. Submit these documents to Christopher.l.johnston20.civ@mail.mil with the Subject title "Fluidized Bed Main Control Panel and Control Center Electrical Component Replacement ". Suspense for Letters of Interest is 21 July 2017.
