Statement of Work for Biodiesel Fuel Tank System Design and Installation Project

Date: November 8, 2024

1 PURPOSE

This document sets forth the Statement of Work for the Biodiesel Fuel Tank Infrastructure Design and Installation Project (Project) for UT-Battelle, LLC (Company), as the Prime Maintenance & Operations contractor for the United States Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory. As part of the Biodiesel Poisoning Research funded by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Vehicle Technology Office, Company needs to procure the design and installation of a Biodiesel Fuel Tank System at Company’s Hardin Valley Campus (HVC) at 2370 Cherahala Blvd., Knoxville, Tennessee. The Biodiesel Poisoning Research is focused on investigating the impact of biodiesel characteristics on emissions control functionality.

2 Scope Company requires the installation of a 5000-gallon double-walled, aboveground fuel tank outside of building 2370-HVC (Figures 1-2) that is compatible with 100% Biodiesel and can maintain fluid temperature above 50 °F (10 °C) to prevent clouding (metal tank preferred). Seller will design a system capable of maintaining the biodiesel at the required temperatures while continually circulating the fuel between a generator (provided by Company) that is ~100 feet away and back to 5000-gallon tank (Figure 3).

There is an existing covered trench in the roadway to allow new fuel lines to transverse this 100 feet. Tees in the fuel line will be needed allow fuel to flow to and from the genset, and shutoff valves will be needed between the recirculating fuel line and the genset.

Additionally, shutoff valves will need to be located at the exit of the 5000-gallon tank.

Company requests, but does NOT require, design considerations for fuel in 5000-gallon tank to be agitated to maintain mixing of biodiesel-based additive that Company will provide. This would be done in addition to recirculation and can be accomplished with an internal agitator/mixer, or another solution from Seller. Company will provide power for all pumps and heating components inside the fuel cage.

3 APPLICABLE STANDARDS, CODES, REGULATIONS, & DESIGN GUIDES

All equipment and installations shall be in accordance with the local jurisdictional requirements, applicable codes and standards, and any additional requirements listed below. The seller is responsible for any special permits required.

Seller will meet or exceed the following applicable standards:

• Double walled 5000-gallon tank for secondary containment with UL 142/UL 142A specification
