The reclaiming unit should be able to handle, at a minimum, granular clay-based oil sorbent material. The system should be able to reclaim the sorbent material in a closed-loop process that will not require or create any hazardous materials other than the used oil removed from the oil sorbent material. The oil shall be placed in a drum for ease of disposal and/or recycling. The processed sorbent material shall be rendered reusable with nearly the same absorbency rates virgin material. The equipment should have a capacity of at least 150 pounds of used sorbent within three hours. It is anticipated that a laundering of the used oil sorbent will be required to accomplish this. We are specifically looking for a system to process the clay based sorbent but all reasonable options will be considered. This is a Request For Information (RFI) only. The Government will not pay for any information received in response to this Request For Information (RFI), nor will the Government compensate any respondent for any costs incurred in developing the information provided to the Government.
