- Description
- The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, Philadelphia, PA (NSWCCD-SSES, Code 631) is soliciting manufacturers of oil-water separators and/or oil pollution abatement systems that would be interested to partner, further develop, and commercialize NSWCCD?s design for an automatic oil pollution abatement system (AOPA). The jointly developed automatic oil pollution abatement system would include: 1) The automatic Oily Waste Transfer System (AOWT); 2) Primary Oil-Water Separator System (Gravity Unit); 3) Secondary Treatment System (Ceramic Membrane Ultrafiltration Unit). The overall goals of the planned Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) are as follows: 1) Establish a cooperative agreement and then a manufacturing license agreement with an interested partner, to develop and supply the AOPA System and support one-stop-shopping for shipbuilding customers; 2) Develop system modules, options that may include variable process rates, and customize the Programmable Logic Controller?s software (PLC ?based main controllers); 3) Develop a completely integrated AOPA System that uses the AOWT system, a gravity OWS with automatic and diagnostic operational controls, qualified materials and field devices, and a secondary treatment system with a by-pass option; 4) Develop smaller capacity oil?water separator systems (e.g., 5 gpm, 10 gpm, and 25 gpm) with a primary unit based upon the NSWCC-SSES OWS control and design architecture, and a qualified secondary unit operation, which would be integrated to the overall automatic OPA ?smart? system; 5) Design, develop, test, and incorporate improvements into the AOPA system based on NAVSEA in-service engineering (ISEA) knowledge base, and partner experience; 6) Simplify AOPA System logistics for U.S. Naval Ships; and 7) Finalize partnering and financial obligation issues, and review the transfer of intellectual property and statement of work that addresses responsibilities for tasks. In summary, the automated oily waste transfer (AOWT) system has been designed and developed to provide a fully automated, smart system that addresses known shortcomings, limitations, problems, and safety issues that are either well recognized, or may not be readily apparent, for existing manually operated Navy (and potentially commercial) shipboard oily waste transfer systems. In addition, the primary oil-water separator (OWS) will support the fully integrated oil pollution abatement (OPA) system. The envisioned OWS would be a programmable logic controller (PLC)-based, multi-staged shipboard environmental system that automatically manages and processes shipboard generated oily wastewater from an oily waste holding tank (OWHT) to ultimately discharge clean water overboard while retaining separated bulk waste oil in a waste oil tank (WOT). The qualified OWS system(s) would include the gravity separator, a secondary polisher unit, and an oil content monitor unit. Moreover, while the joint developmental work would be based upon the NSWCCD system developed (Model VS-50R, 50 gpm capacity), the CRADA partner is completely free to substitute any primary O/W separator that meets our reliability requirements and other qualifications. Interested parties are requested to submit technical design and manufacturing experience for oil pollution abatement (OPA) systems, principal staff capabilities, product types currently manufactured and system qualifications, list of customers, and points of contact information. Submittals to be no more than 5 pages in length. Responses to this synopsis shall be sent to: Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division, Code 631, PNBC, Bldg. 1000, Attn: Steven B. Lehman, P.E., 5101 South 18th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19112-5083. If this information is available online, send the web address to steven.lehman@navy.mil. This synopsis is for information purposes only to identify potential Navy Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) partners. It does not constitute an RFQ and does not obligate the Government in any way to purchase any of the systems to be offered.
