2. Section three: Transformer design and placement – Scope of Work

3.1 Building MI-65 does not have natural gas service consequently the pre-conditioning equipment will be served by direct electric resistance heaters. The heaters and associated elements of the new building are estimated to be in excess of 500KW.

3.2 Review of the existing MI-65 electrical plans indicates that the existing conventional power 750KVA transformer will need to be upgraded/replaced with a new 1500KVA transformer (size to be confirmed by design A/E and FNAL). FNAL is in possession of a refurbished 1500KVA transformer, all efforts will be made to utilize this transformer as the replacement to the existing 750KVA unit.

3.3 FNAL requests that the A/E provide 30% construction design drawings and one lines to serve the new dispersion system (exhaust and heaters) and storage tank building with the new 1500KVA transformer prior to proceeding with 60%/100% design. This new transformer will serve the current loads (mainly MI-65) on the existing 750KVA transformer plus the new exhaust system and the new storage tank building. This includes panels and overcurrent protection.

3.4 The location of the new replacement transformer should take into account the layout of the existing electric power yard that is in close proximity to the MI-65 facility. FNAL requests that the high-side of the new MI-65 transformer be connected to the existing 13.8kV switchgear.

3.5 The high-side (13.8kV) of the new transformer would have fuse protection and not a circuit breaker. The fuse protection will be included with the transformer. The primary wire service from the distribution switchgear will be upgraded as required. The secondary side will include new circuit breakers to serve the existing building, the new building and the exhaust system.

Conduit additions and reconfiguration will be required to serve the existing and new loads.

3.6 FNAL notes that the capacity of the new transformer is currently to be determined. The exact capacity of the new transformer will be based on A/E’s analysis of the new dedicated demand of the dispersion heater/exhaust system and the existing current loads. It is very desirable to use the refurbished 1500KVA transformer in current possession of Fermilab.

3.7 The new transformer will be three phase, pad mount, 13.8kV/480V/277V, delta-wye ground.

3.8 Temporary power service to MI-65 during new transformer installation will be evaluated as a part of this design scope.

3.9 Deliverables: Specifications for the above features will be included in A/E’s preliminary design.

3. Section Four: Minimum 15,000 Integrated Condensate Storage - Scope of Work:

3.1 As a result of the previously conducted CFD study, it was determined that to accomplish complete evaporation of the projected annual condensate stream during the identified optimal weather conditions a minimum storage volume of 15,000 gallons would be required at MI-65.

The storage volume design is to consider a ground mounted enclosure on the west side of the MI-65 building adjacent to the existing evaporators and ground mount exhaust and pre-conditioning equipment. The storage volume design will be fully integrated into the evaporation systems controls and monitoring to operate automatically with minimal personnel intervention.

3.2 A/E to design the shallow foundations used to support the storage system equipment within the new building described below, based on geotechnical recommendations provided by FNAL’s geotechnical contractor or assumptions to be verified by FNAL (such as FNAL’s qualified testing lab).

3.3 Design of the storage system shall consider a minimum of two tanks each capable of holding 67% of required 15,000 gallon volume capacity. The design shall consider freeze prevention of the tank(s) and the interconnected piping whether in the building or the transfer piping to MI-65. Full volume secondary containment shall be provided and tertiary containment protection from spills and overflow to recapture or direct spills to surface water/pond rather than ground water.

3.4 Design shall consider the storage system to be the primary point of discharge from the NuMI Target Hall pumps. Design shall include pumps, all interconnecting piping and valving

(isolating or automated) to result in a complete operating system. Consideration to circulate and mix the entire condensate volume and to ensure neutralization of the nitric acid component of the condensate by the existing NaOH injection shall also be included. This could include the need for an additional parallel NaOH neutralization system.

3.5 Design of control and monitoring system shall include monitoring of all pertinent temperatures, pressures, valve positions, pumps, tank levels, etc. System control shall include optimal movement of condensate between tanks to properly maximize evaporator operation.

3.6 A/E to conduct a meeting within six weeks of project start to present/review preliminary pumping, piping configuration and controls and monitoring design of the storage system.

Fermi requires notice of this presentation two weeks prior so that appropriate Fermilab Accelerator Division Controls personnel along with the tritium management group can be scheduled to attend. An example of a similar control/monitoring system can be provided to A/E to facilitate basis of design and costing.

3.7 Design consideration shall include a separate enclosure to house the storage tank.

Enclosure design shall include adequate space for the tanks and associated electrical, piping and other appurtenances. Allowance for system expansion of one additional tank (total of three 10,000 gallon tanks) shall be included.
