- Description
- The Bureau of Engraving and Printing (BEP), Western Currency Facility, 9000 Blue Mound Road, Fort Worth, Texas 76131, an ISO 14000 Certified Organization, requires a new Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer (RTO) for the destruction of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) from the BEPs press lines.The BEP is seeking potential sources that can provide and install a new RTO on a prepared site immediately to the South of the existing RTO. Site preparation is not part of the scope of this Request for Sources. The installation shall meet all federal, state and local emissions standards and regulations. Specifically, the equipment shall comply with Texas 30 TAC 116.111(a)(2)(C), Best Available Control Technology and requirements of Texas 30 TAC 115.442(1). In addition to this requirement, the BEP requires the new equipment to have a destruction efficiency of 98%.The RTO will be utilized to control the Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions from fourteen Intaglio Printing Presses. The unit shall be fabricated to process a maximum volume of approximately 30,000 scfm and will be automatically adjusting to accommodate emissions from one to fourteen presses in operation at a given time. The RTO manufacturer shall verify the maximum capacity needed by the Western Currency Facility operating fourteen presses prior to fabrication of the equipment.The exhaust from the presses will be conveyed at a temperature of approximately 85-95 degrees F. The RTO shall be complete with fans, motors, VFD drives, gas burners, control and electrical panels, multi chamber (min. of 3) combustion system and all operating controls, alarms, and devices as required for a complete and operating system. An air conditioned and heated Control Structure shall be provided adjacent to the RTO to house control panels and monitors. The building power, signal and remote monitoring conduits and conductors will be extended to this Control Structure for connection by the Supplier.The work shall include organizing and conducting operators training program, providing technical assistance, equipment safety performance tests, and any other incidental services to assure correct operation and compliance with regulations.Special consideration shall be given to the fabrication of the oxidizer and its components. No aluminum or aluminized materials shall be used in any component which is in contact with the inflow/outflow exhaust because of the caustic soda (sodium hydroxide) traces of vapor present in the exhaust from the presses.Operating Data:1.Process: Printing Press Exhaust.2.Process Exhaust Volume:30,000 scfm (to be verified)3.Exhaust Temperature DB:89-95 degrees F4.Exhaust Contaminant: Naptha solvents, volatile organics compounds from printing inks.5.Contaminant Rate VOC: 30 lbs/hr, 105 tons per year6.Average heating value of contaminant: 17,000 btu/lb.7.Destruction Efficiency Min: 98%8.Lbs moisture/lbs dry air Press Exhaust: Approx. 0.029.Moisture Vapors: Sodium Hydroxide in small concentration10.Fuel Available: Pipeline quality sweet natural gas 960 BTU/Ft311.Voltage: 480 v/3ph/60 hz (800 amps breaker in Substation #VI) and 120v/1 ph/60hz12.Operating Hours: 24 hours per dayInstallation will require the successful vendor to provide permanent service platforms and walkways for service and maintenance to upper burner section and RTO super structure; Include access ladders and handrails as required by OSHA; and Provide light fixtures and power outlets at service platforms for maintenance.The successful vendor will provide an exhaust stack on the RTO to a minimum height of 50 above grade. Stack to be equipped with ladder and landing to sampling ports as required by regulation.A monitor shall be provided in Room S138 to monitor the status of critical systems of the RTO without exiting the building to enter the Control Structure. Electrical power and communication conduit will be provided by the Site Prep Contractor for this monitor from Room S138 and an outdoor location to be determined. The monitor including mounting shall be provided by the Supplier.The equipment shall be warranted for minimum of one year from the date of Final Acceptance. The incinerator vessels, manifolds and heat exchangers shall be warranted against deterioration and corrosion for a minimum period of five (5) years.The Supplier shall provide training services as follows: a minimum of three (3) 8 hour training sessions for a maximum of 4 operators at each session. For the training sessions, provide a minimum of five copies of Operations and Maintenance Manuals to be used during the training sessions. At the end of the training sessions, turn the Operations and Maintenance Manuals over to the COTR.Federal Law requires that each building constructed or altered by any federal agency shall, to the maximum extent feasible, be in compliance with one of the nationally recognized model building codes and with other applicable nationally recognized codes. Specific codes required by this project are International Building Code, the NFPA Life Safety Code and the National Electric Code. Other codes may be required as appropriate for the work.This is not a request for proposal. This solicitation is seeking product data and interested vendors. The Request for Proposal with the BEP Statement of Need will be posted and include all necessary details. Interested parties should supply 3 sets of product literature and specifications two printed and one electronic, as well as budgetary pricing and approximate lead times to: Donald Baron, Contract Specialist, Bureau of Engraving and Printing, Office of Acquisitions, Room 705-A, 14th and C Streets SW, Washington, DC 20228 by close of business on September 10, 2008.
