E-MAIL: U. S. EPA -- Cincinnati Contracts Management Division, roe.kathleen@epamail.epa.gov. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Office of Research and Development, Air Pollution Prevention and Control Division in RTP, NC has a requirement for a paint spray booth with aging chamber. The spray booth shall provide APPCD the capability to determine the effectiveness of new coating technologies and the benefits of reduced VOC products for specific applications. The coating and sampling system shall test innovative products and technologies and the results will be transferred to users who could use the information to prevent emissions from their facility. Without this equipment, APPCD will not be able to predict the mechanisms for the pollution prevention techniques or to quantify the effects of reformulating products without VOCs. The contractor shall provide and install a high performance paint spray booth and environmental chamber in room P-119 of EPA's Environmental Research Center in Research Triangle Park, NC. The spray booth shall be sized to fit the space provided and shall includeair recirculation and IR and thermal curing. The air recirculation requirement is needed to split and separate the air flow from the top and bottom sections of the booth. Air from the top section shall be recirculated to the booth while the air from the bottom section shall be sent to a control device and exhausted outside the building. (0150)
