20 -- WASTE OIL RECEPTION, PROCESSING & RECYCLING SYSTEM AT MOSS LANDING HARBOR, MOSS LANDING, (MONTEREY COUNTY) CALIFORNIA DUE 061499 POC James Stilwell, General Manager (831) 633-5417 E-MAIL: Click here to contact James Stilwell via e-mail, stilwell@mosslandingharbor.dst.ca.us. Moss Landing Harbor District, a political subdivision of the State of California, intends to install a waste oil reception, processing and recycling system at its marina facilities in Moss Landing, California. The system will be funded from a number of sources including the California Integrated Waste Management Board and the District's enterprise fund. The piping and auxiliary equipment componenet will enable commercial and recreational marine vessels up to 100 feet in length to dispose of oil and oily water from engine sumps, bilges, contaminated fuel tanks, contaminated drain tanks, and other on-board sources to proper reception facilities ashore at the marina. Vessels will berth at a District owned dock, where pump(s), hose(s) and piping will transport the oil and/or oily water approximately 250 feet from the dock to reception or recycling facilities located in an area provided for that purpose. Piping should be adequately sized to permit a transfer rate of at least 10 gallons per minute in the case of oily/water or 1 gallon per minute in the case of crankcase oil. The difference in elevation will not exceed 15 feet. The reception component will consist of two (2) separate receiving tanks. One tank shall be for receiving oily/water mixtures suitable for processing to separate the oil for eventual recycling. The other tank shall be for receiving oily/water mixtures deemed unsuitable for processing because of known, unacceptable contaminants such as low flash point products (gasoline, aromatic solvents, excessive emulsifies, etc.) Each tank should be approximately 250- 500 gallon capacity. Each tank shall be fitted with a low, sump suction location from which decanted product may be drawn to a final, recycled product storage tank, or directly to truck tankage. This sunction shall be located such that no more than 5 gallons remains in the tank when the high suction is used. High level alarms and interlocks should be fitted to prevent tank overflow. The processing component will consist of an oily/waterseparator using state-of-the-art coalescing technology to separate the oil from the water in the mixture. The waste water stream from the separator shall contain no more than 15 parts per million oil and shall be capable of being routed to a polishing/filtration system for ultimate disposal via outfall to the harbor; or the sanitary sewer system. The polishing/filtration system shall be capable of removing residual oil from the waste water stream from 15 ppm to non-detect limits. Whether the waste water stream goes to the harbor or the sanitary sewer will be selected by the operator consistent with local regulatory requirements and permits. The processing system shall be fitted with appropriate sensors and alarms to permit automatic operation. The processing system shall have a throughput capacity of approximately 8 -- 15 gallons per hour. The recycling component will consist of a storage/reception tank that will contain oil that is suitable for recycling. The oil will be pumped from the oil side of the oily/water separator, or may be pumped directly from collection sumps or crankcases if the oil is known to be free of water or other disqualifying contaminants. The storage reception tank will be approximately 250-500 gallon capacity. The critical design criteria for this system are as follows: (1) The process should be able to run unattended once lined up and started by a qualified operator. (2)The process should fail-safe in the event of a critical alarm, power outage, etc. (3) The primary transfer pump should have an installed, redundant spare. (4) Tankage should be cross connected to provide maximum versatility. (5) All equipment, with the exception of piping from the dock, and to the tank truck, should be on a single foundation for installationon an owner provided slab, which will constitute the secondary contaminated system. Proposer shall provide design and all components exclusive of piping from dock location to processing location. Proposals should be directed to General Manager, Moss Landing Harbor District, P.O. Box 10, Moss Landing, California 95039. Telephone Number (831) 633-5417. Facsimile Number (831) 633-4537. Proposals are due on or before 1700 PDT on June 14, 1999. Proposals will be evaluated in their entirety and an award will be made commensurate with available funding. Variations in design and specification are permitted commensurate with the District' desire to achieve a workable, cost-effective waste-oil, reception processing and recycling facility in its marina.
