44 -- MULTIPOLLUTANT CONTROL RESEARCH FACILITY SOL PR-CI-99-10931 POC Andre Reinhart reinhart.andre@epa.gov (513)487-2119 WEB: EPA Contracts Management Division, Cincinnati, http://www.epa.gov/oam/cinn_cmd. E-MAIL: Click here to contact the contracting officer via, reinhart.andre@epa.gov. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has a requirement for the design, manufacture, and installation of Phase I of the Multipollutant Control Research Facility (MPCRF) at the new Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) campus in the Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. The major components of the MPCRF in Phase I are: 1) a multiple-fuel combustor with gas cooling and manual ash collection/removal 2) Parallel wet and dry flue gas cleaning systems for high efficient gas absorption and fine particle removal and 3) Instrumentation and process controls to operate combustor. The MPCRF Combustor must be sized so that viable multipollutant flue gas cleaning technologies may be tested, modeled and scaled up for commercial applications. For wet-dry gas absorption and electrostatic-based particle removal technologies, this is typically 1000 -2000 acfm. In addition, the combustor shall have gas velocity and temperature profiles reasonably close to commercial systems, such that combustor modifications and combustor sorbent-particle interactions may be coupled with cooler flue gas cleaning technologies to evaluate best combinations of combustion and flue gas cleaning technologies. The combustor shall be able to fire pre-ground (pulverized) coal, distillate oil and/or natural gas at 3 to 6 million Btu/hr, yielding the above flue gas flow at 300oF (150oC), entering into the MPCRF's wet and dry flue gas cleaning systems. The EPA anticipates a firm fixed price contract for this requirement. All responsible sources who submit a proposal will be considered. . Solicitation PR-CI-00-10931 will appear on the Internet. It may be accessed through the EPA's home page on the World Wide Web (www.epa.gov). The direct link URL is http://www.epa.gov/oam/cinn_cmd. It is the responsibility of prospective offerors to frequently check the CBD or the EPA website address for updates or changes. It is anticipated that this RFP will be available in mid August, 2000.
