About this file
This is a technical specification document for the replacement of an oil skimmer system at the Chief Joseph Dam in Bridgeport, WA for the US Army Corps of Engineers. The document outlines requirements for a complete vertical tube-type oil skimmer system with integrated decanter and stainless steel collection tank to replace an existing system installed in 1995 that has become unreliable.
The required system must include a 65-100 gallon capacity collection tank, operate 24/7, and recover 65-100 gallons per hour of oil from a drainage sump with fluctuating water levels (15-35 feet depth). Key technical specifications include: a free-floating closed loop collector tube extending 35 feet down with estimated 78-foot total length, ability to fit within existing 30" x 74" footprint, 120 VAC single phase power requirement, NEMA control box, automated oil transfer and water return functionality, float switches, indicator lamps, audible alarms, and remote annunciation capability. The system must be skid-mounted as an all-in-one unit with mounting holes for permanent installation. All components must be new and delivered to the Chief Joseph Dam warehouse in Bridgeport, WA.

Powerhouse Drainage Sump Oil Skimmer and Day Tank Replacement:
BACKGROUND. The oil skimmer and day tank were installed and placed into service in 1995. The skimmer and day tank are located in the powerhouse sump pump room on the 758 elevation. The oil skimmer runs 24 hours/day removing oil from the drainage sump and mitigating the risk of discharging oil to the environment. The oil skimmer system consists of a tube type oil skimmer, decanter, and a 100-gallon day tank for collecting the oil and water from the decanter.
JUSTIFICATION. In recent years, the oil skimmer system has become unreliable, and the search and procurement of replacement parts are becoming difficult. After approximately 30 years, the oil skimmer system has reached the end of service life and needs to be replaced.
DESCRIPTION OF WORK. The vendor shall provide a complete oil skimmer system which meets the specifications listed below. All components shall be new, and the skimmer system shall be shipped to the US Army Corps of Engineers at Chief Joseph Dam in Bridgeport, WA 98813.
SPECIFICATIONS.
Vertical tube type skimmer with integrated decanter and collection tank.
The collection tank shall be stainless steel.
Collection tank shall have a capacity between 65 (minimum) and 100 (maximum) gallons.
The skimmer must automatically transfer recovered oil to collection tank.
The collection tank must have a float switch which automatically shuts off the oil skimmer when full.
The skimmer must have both an audible annunciation and indicator lamps in the event the skimmer shuts down or loses power.
The collection tank must have liquid level indicator lamps to signal when the unit is ¾ full and when full.
The collection tank must have both an indicator lamp and audible alarm when full.
The collection tank must have a manually activated electric pump for transferring oil and water to “used oil” drums once the collection tank is full.
The skimmer must automatically return the water separated from the oil to the sump.
The skimmer must use a free-floating closed loop oil collector tube to recover oil from the water surface.
The oil collector tube must operate without requiring any mounts or guides installed in sump.
The skimmer system must be capable of recovering 65 – 100 gallons/hour.
The skimmer with integrated decanter and collection tank shall be mounted on a skid (as an all-in-one oil skimmer system).
The skid shall have holes for mounting to a concrete floor or base (stationary installation).
All components of the skimmer system must be designed to operate continuously (24/7).
The skimmer and collector tube must recover oil from a sump with fluctuating water levels (The normal operating level for the sump is 15 to 35 feet from the finished floor).
The collector tube must extend 35 feet from the finished floor into a drainage sump.
The required overall length for the collector tube is estimated at 78 feet based on the old skimmer (will need to work with vendor to determine optimum length based on final installation).
The collector tube must be resistant to tangling up on itself while floating on water surface.
The collector tube must operate within the existing sump opening (30 inches center to center).
The entire skid mounted skimmer system must fit within the existing skimmer system footprint of 30 inches x 74 inches.
The power requirement is 120 VAC single phase.
The skimmer system shall have a NEMA control box to house components for power, timers, lights, level switches, etc.
All local alarms and indicator lamps must allow duplication to a remote annunciation panel.
DELIVERY. The complete all-in-one skimmer system shall be delivered to:
US Army Corps of Engineers Chief Joseph Dam Warehouse Highway 17 & Pearl Hill Road Bridgeport, WA 98813
