Recovery--Y--017320, selective catalytic reduction system at huxtable pumping plant

This project will be for the removal of 10 diesel engine mufflers and 2 generator mufflers at Huxtable Pumping Plant and the replacement thereof with 2 stage catalytic converters. The 10 pump engines are Fairbanks Morse 3600 horsepower engines driving storm water pumps. The 2 515 Kw generators are powered by Caterpillar diesel engines. The catalytic converters will be 2 stage, the first stage being a DOC (diesel oxidation converter) stage for the reduction of CO by 90%, and the second stage being an SCR ( selective catalytic reduction) for the reduction of NOx by 90%. The SCR stage will use NX3 injection to reduce the NOx components. The NX3 injection will be monitored and controlled by a sophisticated PLC control system using sensors mounted on the catalytic converter. The controls will send signals to the NX3 flow valves which are responsible for accurately and constantly maintaining the proper ammonia flow rate so that the exhaust components never exceed allowable limits. The system will use anhydrous ammonia for direct injection into the converters. This project will be an Unrestricted Procurement. For the purpose of this procurement to qualify as a small business concern, in addition to being independently owned and operated and not dominate in the field of operation in which it bidding on government contracts, the concern must have had average annual sales receipts of the preceding three years not exceeding $33.5 million.
