B -- TREATABILITY STUDY TO DETERMINE ALTERNATIVE FEASIBLE TECHNOLOGY FOR THE TREATMENT OF AN INDUSTRIAL WASTE POC Richard Bachand, EG&G Florida, Inc. BOC-110. This is a modification to a CBD notice published on Tuesday, July 23, 1996, page 2, issue no. PSA-1642 under Item B - Special Studies & Analysis - Not R&D - Potential Sources Sought. The following is additional information not included in the initial publication - PROPELLANT COMBINED WASTE - CITRIC ACID/RINSATES - (1) DESCRIPTION (A) Waste Type. The wastestream, herein known as combined fuel waste, consists of batch generated quantities as a combination of citric acid solution and hydrazine citrate in the form of chelated hydrazine fuel, dilute hydrazine rinsate and dilute IPA (isopropyl alcohol) rinsate. The combined fuel waste is characterized as non-hazardous waste in accordance with regulatory definition. (B) Waste Data. General physical, chemistry, and design data for the wastestream is provided as follows: Volume: Tankage: 28,000 gallons, Generated:4000-5000 gallons/month, 60,000 gallons/yr maximum, pH: Range: 4.1 - 5.0, Average: 4.5, Citric Acid: Not Analyzed, 1 - 3% estimated by dilution, COD: Chemical Oxygen Demand: 20,000 mg/l, Specific Gravity: 1.000, Fuel Content: Range: 270 - 1500 mg/l hydrazine, Average: 650 mg/l, IPA: Range: 120 - 500 mg/l, Average: 350 mg/l, Flash Point: None, Solids: Immiscible floating materials: None, Total Suspended Solids: (50 mg/l. (2) This is a one-time study for a potentially permanent treatment mode. (3) Study will be conducted off-site. (4) Timetable is anticipated to complete study within 180 days of award. (5) Treatment solution is the primary goal. Interested firms are invited to submit brief written statements of interest and citations of relevant related background sufficient to demonstrate capability to meet the requirements within 15 days after publication of this synopsis. Telephone responses will not be considered. Responses to this notice will be used to determine whether competition exists and whether a formal RFP is appropriate. Responses should be mailed to: EG&G Florida, Inc., Kennedy Space Center, FL 32899 Attn: Richard L. Bachand, Mail Code BOC 110, Building M6-744, Room 125. (0222)
