PWS 10 – ENERGY AND UTILITIES SERVICES MANAGEMENT

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1. INTRODUCTION

This Utilities and Energy PWS governs the operation and performance of the Contractor in the generation, measurement, distribution, and reporting of energy and utilities services only. The cost for natural gas, fuel oil, electricity, steam, potable water, and wastewater as well as labor, raw materials, and any subcontracts related to the operation of RFAAP utilities shall be charged to this PWS.

1.2. BACKGROUND

Energy consumption at RFAAP is primarily based on production, not square footage. The Army’s energy efficiency goals, which call for reductions on a square-footage basis, are an inadequate measure of RFAAP’s energy efficiency. Energy intensity based on this metric can vary widely depending on production priorities, process problems, and seasonal and weather effects.

1.2.1 Electricity and Distribution System

RFAAP receives service from an outside power company (currently Appalachian Power Company (APCO), an affiliate of American Electric Power Company (AEP)) under the Large Power Service (LPS) tariff. RFAAP receives sub-transmission level service from APCO through a single line with one meter. The Army takes ownership of the incoming feed, including approximately three miles of tie line, outside of RFAAP’s fence boundary. This line crosses the New River and connects to a 69-kilovolt (kV) loop. A supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system monitors this loop, the eight substations on the loop, and downstream 2.3-kV and 12.47-kV distribution. The Army owns all substation and distribution systems connected to the APCO feed from the point it takes control onwards. The contractor manages this equipment and performs the operations and maintenance (O&M).

The only current source of on-site electricity production is generated in the Powerhouse. In the Powerhouse, four steam driven turbine generators (2 condensing, double extraction units; 2 backpressure single extraction units) are rated to 6 MW each and produces 275psi (@ 550oF) and 40 psi (@ 420oF) steam. The Powerhouse facility itself is over 80 years old and originally had 5 coal-fired boilers along with the steam turbine generators. The current Powerhouse configuration decommissioned the boilers when the natural gas boiler facility (Boiler Plant) came fully online in 2017. The decision to switch from coal to natural gas was due to state and federal emissions requirements, concerns about environmental remediation costs, and the availability of natural gas as a low-cost alternative fuel. The Powerhouse’s rated total electric generating capacity is 580,000 kWh daily with a peak output of 24 MW when all generators are running. However, the electrical generation is limited by the thermal demand of the installation’s production. Thus, in summer months less steam load is required thereby limiting the electrical generation potential. In winter months, the thermal load increases allowing for more electrical generation. Today, RFAAP generates approximately 43% of its own electric needs on an annual basis.

The New River Storage Unit has one electric feed that primarily serves the guard house, one office building and facility lighting requirements. This electrical service comprises less than 0.3% of the energy costs and consumption for RFAAP.

1.2.2 Natural Gas

RFAAP currently procures natural gas service through agreements with three separate parties: Atmos Energy Corporation (Atmos); East Tennessee Natural Gas, LLC (ETNG); and CenterPoint Energy Services, Inc. (CenterPoint). Atmos, the local distribution company (LDC), provides for the delivery of natural gas directly to RFAAP’s gas meter. The Army owns all on-post gas distribution systems for final delivery to RFAAP’s buildings and production facilities. Upstream, ETNG owns the interstate natural gas pipeline that delivers natural gas to the Atmos citygate. The ETNG system extends across Tennessee and into southwest Virginia.

1.2.3 Steam and Distribution System

Steam is critical for the operation of the plant for production, safety, and comfort heating. The Powerhouse receives steam from the Boiler Plant to drive the turbines for the current on-site electrical generation. The steam system is split into three (3) major steam distribution networks at 40 psig or low pressure (LP), 90 psig or medium pressure (MP), and 275 psig or high pressure (HP). Large portions of the steam distribution system are looped, preventing a single point of failure; however, steam lines to 4th Rolled Powder and the Rocket/NG side of the New River are served by single high pressure steam lines. Steam requirements increase by as much as a third in winter months to meet comfort heating demand, and temperature is the predominant determinant of the steam load profile. RFAAP supplies steam throughout the plant through an extensive distribution system with over 62 miles of steam lines.

The Boiler Plant consists of six natural gas-fired packaged boilers producing as much as 560 K lbs./hr. of steam at 400 psi (@ 750oF). It is configured with four large boilers, each with a rated steam output of 115,000 lbs./hr. per boiler, as well as two additional, smaller boilers that can produce an additional 50,000 lbs./hr. each. Historically, all four of the large boilers have operated during winter months when steam requirements are the highest. During the rest of the year, two or three units run, allowing maintenance and providing some thermal redundancy. RFAAP’s capable of a maximum steam output of 13.4 million lbs./day at 275 psi. The packaged boiler units are dual fuel capable and can operate on #2 diesel fuel oil.

1.2.4 Fuel Storage

RFAAP has a minimal amount of diesel and gasoline fuel stored on-site for vehicles and filling the on-site electrical generation equipment. The installation does have a strategic contract with the diesel fuel supplier for preferential fuel refilling.

1.2.5 Water and Distribution System

The water distribution system at RFAAP consists of a raw water intake and pump station, an industrial water treatment plant used for pretreatment, a 2.0 MGD conventional drinking water treatment plant, a 2.99 MGD rated membrane microfiltration drinking water treatment facility, two booster pump stations, one hydropneumatics pump station and numerous storage tanks. The water system distribution piping is mostly original piping from the initial construction in the 1940s. Various sections of this piping have been replaced or patched through the years and current modernization funding and efforts underway to replace prioritized sections of the distribution systems in a phased approach.

Raw water is withdrawn by gravity through a concrete diversion channel located along a bank of the New River. The raw water intake consists of a vertical bar screen structure to prevent large debris from entering the wet well of the raw water pump station equipped with a mechanical traveling screen. The pump station consists of four (4) large deep well pumps and two (2) booster pumps with a total pumping capacity of 52 MGD. Two of the deep well pumps are equipped with variable frequency drives to allow variation in their output depending on water levels at the industrial water treatment plant. The capacity of the intake pump station is allocated for 25 MG to the industrial water treatment plant, 25 MG to the industrial steam plant and 2.0 MG to the conventional surface water treatment plant. A second intake and pump station are co-located by minimal distance from the main intake/pump station and is equipped with a manual bar screen and 2 vertical turbine pumps. This intake was primarily used for industrial applications but may also send water to the stilling well located at the industrial water treatment plant. Treated industrial water is pumped to either the two potable drinking water treatment plants for complete treatment or directly to the industrial water distribution system. Water that is processed through either of the two potable drinking water treatment plants enters the potable water distribution system. There is currently 310,652 ft of drinking water line comprising the entirety of the potable water distribution system. The installation also has a completely separate fire flow distribution system consisting of non-potable water supplied from the industrial water treatment plant. The fire suppression system consists of 220,000 ft of fire water lines on the main plant side of the river, most of which is over 80 years old. The fires system is utilized for routine hydrant tests and can be utilized in the place of filtered water lines in areas of RFAAP.

1.2.6 Wastewater and Treatment Systems

RFAAP has three wastewater facilities and associated separate collection systems. Within the plant there is a sanitary wastewater treatment plant, an acid wastewater treatment plant, and an industrial wastewater treatment facility.

Acid wastewater generated in the Acid area, NC area and the Powerhouse are treated at the AB Waste Acid Treatment Plant. This wastewater requires pH adjustment before discharge. Organic removal is not required. All the acidic wastewater streams combine and enter the equalization (EQ) tanks prior to treatment. There are four (4) equalization tanks with a volume of 250,000 gallons each. Acidic wastewater is neutralized using lime before discharge through Outfall 007 returning to the New River. Normal influent pH is 2 to 3 however the pH can vary from 1 to 8 depending on area operations. The entering wastewater contains nitric and sulfuric acid from the Acid and NC areas. High pH wastewater also enters from the NC area due to the use of soda ash in processing. Due to the presence of sulfate and the addition of calcium (lime) a calcium sulfate precipitate is formed in the neutralization process. Calcium sulfate settles out and treated wastewater is discharged through Outfall 007. In a 2010 assessment, the capacity of this treatment plant is 8 million gallons per day (MGD).

RFAAP also has an industrial wastewater system that collects and treats non-acidic industrial wastewater from many of the plant processes. Wastewater generated in solvent-based propellant manufacturing areas is treated at this facility which is also termed the Bioplant. The Bioplant treats industrial wastewater containing organics such as solvents and NG from propellant manufacturing and support operations using microorganisms. The wastewater is generally pH neutral. A wide variety of naturally occurring organisms are present. In the Bioplant, bacteria break down and remove organics such as solvents. The microorganisms require nutrients and oxygen to break down the organics. Then higher order organisms consume the bacteria, and still larger organisms consume those resulting in a biological food chain. This is modeled after the natural consumption of organics in rivers and streams. If untreated wastewater is discharged to the river, the microorganisms in the stream would consume the organic matter in the wastewater. Important treatment units are equalization basins (EQ) and Rotating Biological Contactors (RBCs). The biological sludge produced by the treatment of the wastewater is aerobically digested, pressed and disposed of off-plant by an approved waste disposal company. The rated capacity of the plant is 1.3 MGD but flows up to 2.0 MGD have been handled. Investments in the Bioplant treatment system have occurred in the last 10 years including new shafts and bearing for the RBCs, digester aerators, and pneumatic valves for equalization basin pumps. Flow meters upstream in the collection system also were addressed but no improvements were made to the Upstream Monitoring Stations (UMSs).

Lastly, RFAAP has a sanitary wastewater treatment system. This system accepts wastewater from fixtures such as toilets, sinks, and showers in many buildings across the installation. It also accepts wastewater from the installation laundry, vehicle washing and steam cleaning, and the main laboratory. This plant has a design capacity of 1.0 MGD. However, it was sized for the worker populations of the 1940s and 1950s and has been operated as significantly reduced flows for the past few decades because of the smaller workforce needed to run the installation. The treatment plant consists of an equalization basin and two (2) primary sedimentation basins in series followed by a wet well with three (3) pumps, a trickling filter, and final clarifier, chlorination, and dichlorination. The treatment plant discharges its effluent to Outfall 026 which is only used for this discharge. The sludge produced from the plant undergoes anaerobic digestion and drying in open beds prior to being shipped offsite to a qualified landfill.

1.2.7 Compressed Air

RFAAP has a centralized location where the majority of the plant’s compressed air demand is generated. The system includes 4 centrifuge compressors with each having an air capacity of 3,100scfm at 125psig. Currently, RFAAP operates 3 compressors at a time with one in standby. Current design capacity is 9,300scfm at 125psig. Current air demand ranges around 6,000-7,000scfm during normal production operations.

1.3. SCOPE

1.3.1. RFAAP consists of two separate facilities; the main plant is the RFAAP manufacturing facility and consists of 4,080 acres and is divided into two parts by the New River. The New River Storage Unit is located 12 miles from the main plant near the town of Dublin and consists of 2,821 acres.

1.5. KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

1.5.1. The Contractor shall submit a monthly KPI/EnPI report to the Government in accordance with their Energy Management System. The Contractor shall also have a monthly management review meeting with the Government to review current performance and other elements under this PWS. (CDRL A10-01).

1.5.1.1. The Contractor shall establish KPIs for each main utility overall for RFAAP (electricity, water, compressed air, natural gas, steam, wastewater) and an estimated cost per unit.

1.5.1.1.1. The contractor will be challenged to be 75% with Army metering requirements in one year and 100% compliant within two years for all utilities.

1.5.1.1.2. The contractor will be measured on accuracy of metering data (100% goal) and ensure >95% of meters are reading and recording data.

1.5.1.1.3. The Contractor shall establish EnPIs for facilities that use greater than 5% of a utility. These facilities shall be denoted as SEUs in accordance with their Energy Management System. EnPIs should compare a unit of a utility to a production unit or another utility. (Examples include: scfm/lb NC or scfm/kWh)

1.5.1.1.3.1. For each EnPI, the Contractor should compare current performance to a manufacturer’s rating (if available), average of previous year’s performance, and the Contractor’s defined goal in the annual Energy Management execution plan. For example, if the current compressed air EnPI is 10 scfm/kWh, the Contractor could choose to set a time-based energy efficiency goal of 12 scfm/kWh within one year.

1.5.1.1.3.2. The contractor will be challenged to improve each EnPI by at least 5% each year. Each improvement will have to be tied to an effort made by the contractor to conserve energy and utilities. Examples include implemented CI projects, changes to procedure, etc.

1.5.1.1.3.2.1. For each EnPI, if there are any significant variances (greater than 10%) from previous months or from the identified baseline, the contractor should complete a root cause analysis investigation, determine lessons learned, and analysis of alternatives (AoA) on any solutions to mitigate future incidents. Documentation shall be provided to the Government via email within 10 business days (CDRL A10-02).

1.5.1.1.3.2.2. For each EnPI, the annual Energy Management execution plan should have updated targets and milestones to accomplish the Contractor’s defined goals for energy conservation. Targets are ideas, projects, or action items the contractor plans to implement to accomplish the goals highlighted in the execution plan. Milestones are scheduled sub-targets and dates to ensure success of the overall EnPI goal. For example, the Contractor may set a goal to reduce steam usage by 5% by the end of the calendar year. The contractor may decide to reduce steam leak repair time from 30 days to 5 days and use a continuous improvement project to understand why the repair times take 30 days. Milestones could include collecting data within 1 month, determining root cause in 2 months, developing a prioritized solution in 3 months and implement the solution within 6 months.

1.5.2. While the government reserves the right to assess contractor compliance with specific requirements of this PWS, the primary measure of the contractor’s success in performing the PWS will be determined by KPI target/goal attainment.
