(vi) Description of requirement:
The 115th Fighter Wing has a requirement to retrofit a Pauli Systems bead blast booth to ensure proper protection from fire hazards. A summary follows; see the attached Statement of Work for greater detail.

Five areas of concern regarding the management of explosive dust hazards within the corrosion control bead blast unit; explosive vent discharge, upstream isolation of blast booth, inadequate exhaust ventilation, downstream isolation of waste stream, and elimination of static producing fittings. All equipment and installation methods must meet NFPA 69 and NEC standards.

Inadequate space and facility limitations has reduced options for corrective action. The installment of chemical isolation devices based on Sodium Bicarbonate (NaHCO3) would be the preferred method. Installation of system chemical isolation system would include all control units, pressure indicators and applicable hardware.

Remove and replace slide gate in downstream waste collection barrel and install rotary valve that meets NFPA 69 requirements. Remove and replace all rubber of silicon transition boots to eliminate potential static energy hazards.

A site visit will be held at the 115th Fighter Wing on January 23, 2019 at 9:00 am. See registration information in section xv.
