A -- FEASIBILITY STUDY TO IDENTIFY TAIWANESE HOSTS FOR REBURNING TECHNOLOGY DEMONSTRATIONS FOR NOX EMISSIONS CONTROL SOL RFQ-OH-98-00180 POC Kathleen Roe, phone 513/487-2144, fax 513/487-2144 WEB: Office of Acquisition Management -- Cincinnati Contracts, This procurement will not appear on the web site.. E-MAIL: U.S. EPA -- Cincinnati Contracts Management Division, roe.kathleen@epamail.epa.gov. The purpose of this amendment to the synopsis is to correct the estimated date on which RFQs will be issued from 5/15/98 to 6/15/98. The description follows: The U.S. EPA, National Risk Management Research Laboratory, Air Pollution Prevention and Control Division, has a requirement for a feasibility study to identify Taiwanese plants that have the greatest potential to host reburning technology demonstrations for NOx emissions control. The purpose of the study is to identify the candidate plants at which the installation and operation of a natural gas reburning system is most likely to result in the most cost effective reductions of NOx without causing significant adverse impact to plant operability. The feasibility study will examine plant design; fuel types, availabilities and costs; and operating characteristics from the perspective of how well reburning can be expected to work at each candidate plant. Factors to be evaluated include available space for installation and of reburn fuel and burnout air ducting, potential residence times between the reburn fuel injectors and burnout air ports and between the burnout air ports and the convective section, availability of natural gas, reactivity of the primary fuel (usually coal), and plant operating cycle. Tasks shall include attending an initial meeting RTP, N.C. approximately two weeks after purchase order award and a second meeting in Taiwan about 8/15/98 where the Contractor shall present the study findings. A final report shall be due 9/30/98. Requests for quotations will be issued on or about 6/15/98 and awarded approximately one week thereafter. Responsible sources may submit quotations which shall be considered by EPA. See Numbered Note 26. (0160)
