- Description
- SUBJECT: GAS FIRED HEAT EXCHANGER COMBUSTION SYSTEM DESC: The U.S. Department of Energy???s National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), Pittsburgh, PA intends to award a purchase order on a sole-source basis to ENERCON Systems Inc., Elyria, OH) to Engineer, Design a unique gas fired heat exchanger combustion system to be delivered to be deliver to U.S. Department of Energy, Albany Research Center, 1450 Queen Ave SW, Albany, OR 97321. The objective of this action is the engineering, design, computational fluid dynamics modeling, fabrication, and training for the installation and operation of a unique gas fired, heat exchanger combustion system to be used in the advanced research and analysis of materials, subject to high intensity heat, oxidation and corrosion and includes the gas trains, combustion air blowers, controls and installation instructions on a unique new heat exchanger system. The system is necessary to meet the milestones for our agreement with the Office of Fossil Energy and EERE on the Solid Oxide Fuel Cells program. The following is to be purchased: 1. Engineering, design and computational modeling of a unique gas fired heat exchanger combustion system capable of two hot gas streams, one for high temperature (to 900c) and one for low temperature (to 300C) ??? 1 EA. 2. Furnish all necessary burners, controllers, mass flow sensors, mass flow controllers regulators, metering, valving for gas and air trains, mass flow balancing apparatus, cabling, combustion air pressure blowers capable of up to 2.9 psig boost, high and low temperature vent valves, safety shut-off valves, control cabinet, ignition systems, pressure sensors, flame sensors and piping for the gas fired heat exchanger combustion system ??? 1 EA. 3. On-site training. This purchase order is being issued to ENERCON Systems Inc. because is uniquely capable of performing this objective which entails the engineering of two coupled gas burner combustion systems, one for high temperature control and one for medium to low temperature control to include the burners, gas trains, computational modeling and control systems. ENERCON Systems Inc. has been instrumental in the past in providing unique, gas-fired combustion equipment for the Albany Research Center to include a truly unique thermal oxidizer; air preheating system; the design and engineering of our state-of-the-art air pollution control system; the design and modeling of the experimental reverberatory furnace; the engineering design of a high temperature sintering furnace; and the design, fabrication, and training for operation of the round aluminum melting furnace (RAMF). All of this work and the apparatus associated with it is complex and will have to be designed to be assimilated into the current and extraordinarily complex high temperature combustion furnace infrastructure. Not only will the system have to be designed to fit the current infrastructure while maintaining full operational capabilities of the aforementioned existing research equipment, but the burner systems will have to be modeled using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and the components will have to be procured from a number of dissimilar sources and carefully engineered to fit both the existing and the new system. Because of the research nature of the heat exchanger system, and the fact that they will share infrastructure with research furnace systems already in operation, it will be necessary to do the installation with an absolute minimum amount of disruption to ongoing research. This requires specialized knowledge of the existing systems, CFD, engineering design, and the capabilities needed for the new heat exchanger system. The only entity with this unique capability if ENERCON Systems Inc. No other company is currently able to do this work without undertaking a long and steep learning curve. Completion of this system is critical to the completions of milestones on three different Center projects. All responsible sources may submit a bid, proposal, or quotation which shall be considered by this agency. All interested firms must respond to DE-RQ26-05NT500833. Offerors shall provide sufficient technical literature, documents, etc., in order for the Government evaluation team to make an adequate technical assessment of the quote as meeting technical acceptability. Therefore, no solicitation will result with this announcement. This award shall be made using FAR 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures. The North American Industry Classification (NAIC) is 421830. Request for information should be addressed to Mr. Robert L. Mohn, FAX 412-386-5770. The Technical Representative for the above requirement is Mr. Mr. Paul King, 541-967-5948. All bids, proposals, or quotations must be submitted by 5:00 PM Eastern Time, September 21, 2005.
