- Description
- DESC: This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for a HIGH TEMPERATURE REACTOR SYSTEM (WITH 450 DEGREES C PREHEAT).. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a writted solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number for this procurement is DE-RQ26-02NT20702 and is being issued as a Request for Quotation (RFQ) under full and open competition. This RFQ is issued in accordance with FAR Part 13. This procurement is being conducted under the Simplified Acquisition Procedures (SAP). The High Temperature Reactor System (with 450 C preheat) and must meets or exceed the following specifications: SPECIFICATIONS: 1. The reactor system shall posses the ability to introduce five different feeds into the reactor as described in Table 1.1 (Gas feeds) and Table 1.2 (Liquid feeds). Table 1.1, Gas Feeds # Feed Flow range (SCCM) 1 Hydrogen/Methane 75-1000 2 Air 200-5000 3 Nitrogen 100-1000 Table 1.2, Liquid Feeds # Feed Flow range (ml/min) 1 Water 0.1-3.5 2 Gasoline/diesel 0.075-2.0 2. The reactor system shall possess the ability to vaporize/pre-mix the feed up to 400 degrees C before entering into the reactor. Heat trace of feed lines should be avoided because it does not provide uniform heating. 3. The reactor system shall contain a fixed-bed reactor (PFR) with downward flow. The reactor shall posses the capability to reach a maximum temperature of 982 degrees C at 80 psig. 4. The vendor shall supply two reactor vessels (as specified above) of 5 ml and 20 ml. 5. The reactor system shall posses the ability to control the reactor temperature via thermocouples located on the outer wall of the reactor as well as in the center of the catalyst bed. A single zone heater is preferred for reactor heating. 6. Loading and unloading of the catalyst shall be easy for routine operation. 7. Back-pressure regulator (operates at 400 degrees C) is desired, in between reactor outlet and gas-liquid separator to maintain the reactor pressure, in addition to a pressure transducer. 8. The reactor system shall posses the ability to keep the reactor effluent in the vapor phase at 400 degrees C until the gas-liquid separator (provided by the NETL). Again, heat trace of product lines should be avoided because it does not provide uniform heating. 9. The reactor system shall have communication ports (RS 232) compatible with NETL's control system. 10. Power requirement for the reactor system shall be 208-Volt compatible. 11. The reactor system shall be compact [110 cm wide x 85 cm tall x 35 mc deep]. 12. The reactor system assembly and mounting shall be simple. 13. The vendor shall be a certified ISO 9001 manufacture. 14. The vendor shall supply details of its normal commercial warranty. 15. The price of the automated catalyst characterization unit shall include the initial installation and testing by vendor and travel costs associated with the installation. Installation shall be at the U.S. Department of Energy, National Energy Technology Laboratory, 3610 Collins Ferry Road, Morgantown, WV 26507. Two copies of the operations manuals will also be necessary. 16. Onsite installation and training shall be provided at the installation site, Morgantown, WV. END OF SPECIFICATIONS.
