E -- PROCESS EXPERIMENTAL PILOT PLAN (PREPP) REMOVAL PROJECT SOL CBD3499 DUE 111899 POC Niles Hanson, Property Reuse and Disposal Office WEB: Idaho National Engineering & Environmental Laboratory, http://www.inel.gov/procurement/litco/index.html. E-MAIL: Niles Hanson, nfh@inel.gov. PREPP Removal Project. Bechtel BWXT Idaho LLC (BBWI), the operating and management contractor for the Department of Energy (DOE) at the Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory (INEEL) is seeking industry sources interested in purchasing the Process Experimental Pilot Plant(PREPP). PREPP was constructed to demonstrate a method for processing transuranic (TRU) waste into an acceptable form for disposal. PREPP is located at the Test Area North (TAN) facilities on the INEEL, a Department of Energy (DOE) Site in Southeast Idaho. The plant was designed to provide an integrated system for the receipt, pre-treatment and incineration of solid waste, and the stabilization of the solid waste residual. The integrated system includes a shredder; rotary kiln; air pollution control equipment, e.g. off-gas scrubbers and quenchers; control room equipment; and stabilization equipment, e.g. mixers and storage tanks. PREPP was constructed within the confines of Building TAN-607 as a multi-level structure covering approximately 9,900 square feet. The system was tested to verify equipment and operating parameters using 6200 pounds of printed circuit boards. The plant was placed in stand-by status in 1989 and has not operated since that time. The facility's nominal design capacity @ 24 hours per day is 7 tons per day. Highly combustible waste is processed at rates as low as 1.5 tons per day. The operating temperature ranges from 1,800 degrees F to 2,000 degrees F, with average operating temperature being 1,800 degrees F. The plant can process solids and contaminated soils. The shredder can process up to a 4'x4'x7' box, maximum size, or 6-55 gallon drums on a pallet. The rotary kiln inside diameter is approximately 5'9". The plant was operated for approximately 995 hours. The buyer will be responsible for disassembly, removal, clean-up and disposal activities as specified in INEEL Equipment Removal Specification, Project File No. 020889, and other terms and conditions as may be applicable. This notice is issued for the purpose of identifying interested sources. Foreign parties should be aware that restrictions may apply which could preclude their participation. An Invitation for Sealed Bid for the purchase and removal of PREPP property is expected to be issued in the future. This Sources Sought will close to responses 30 days after publication.
