A -- INNOVATIVE OFFGAS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM DESIGN FOR MIXED WASTE TREATMENT Contact Mr. Nick Soelberg. Lockheed Martin Idaho Technologies (LMIT), P.O. Box 1625, Idaho Falls, ID 83415-3625; a management and operating contractor for the Department of Energy (DOE) at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) is seeking Requests For Interest. LMIT is seeking interested and qualified contractors to provide innovative ideas and conceptual design for offgas control equipment, offgas control systems, or offgas management systems and concepts for mixed waste treatment processes. One or more potential consulting subcontracts would start in March 1996 and continue through December 1996. The baseline mixed waste treatment processes will include a rotary kiln incinerator and a plasma furnace. These treatment processes result in offgas generation that can contain typical gaseous combustion products, acid gases, particulate, metals, and radionuclides. The offgas emissions must be controlled to meet permit and regulatory requirements and also be acceptable to stakeholders concerned with emissions from mixed waste treatment processes. Acceptable offgas systems must operate reliably over a wide dynamic operating range to enable minimal input waste characterization and control, and provide adequate control even during system upsets. Offgas management system innovations that are expected to be included in this study include, but are not limited to (a) added redundant state-of-the-art control technologies in parallel or series, (b) innovative technologies in place of or in addition to state-of-the-art technologies, (c) technologies for reducing or eliminating offgas to the environment (lower release, delayed release, or no release), (d) state-of-the-art and innovative pollutant emission monitoring techniques, and (e) various non-traditional offgas management systems or combinations of control technologies. Innovative systems and designs should be applicable to both thermal and non-thermal treatment processes being developed for potential mixed waste treatment. Interested contractors must provide proof of capabilities and experience with offgas system engineering to: Mr. Nick Soelberg, LMIT, PO Box 1625, 1955 Fremont Avenue, Idaho Falls, ID, 83415-3625. For clarification: (208)526-6923. This Request For Interest will close February 29, 1996. (046)
