Question: 150 design pressure; what is the operating pressure? ANSWER: The operating pressure is around 100 psi. 2. Question: Output: 5,175 lbs/hr is what 150HP is rated to produce. Actual Output will vary based on operating conditions or inputs. Are you certain a 150HP has completed the job in the past? If so I will assume the 150 produces enough lbs/hr for the application. ANSWER: Yes, 150hp produces enough lbs/hr for the application and has completed the job in the past. 3. Question: Is the unit powered by natural gas? Or Oil? ANSWER: The unit is powered by Natural Gas. No secondary fuels required. 4. Question: Do you know the Condensate Return Percentage? ANSWER: There is currently no condensate return to these units. The condensate pumps are out of service. 5. Question: Will these units be hooked up to an existing water system? a. If so, is it a Zero Pressure Water Tank or a Deaerator? b. Are they hooked up to the same water system or separate tanks? ANSWER: These units will be hooked up to an existing water system supplying water to the feedwater tank. The tank is a deaerator. They are hooked up to the same water system. 6. Question: Will units work together and feed (1) steam header or independently and serve their own steam header? ANSWER: Units will work together and feed (1) steam header. 7. Question: Do they want an economizer coil section (SE in drawing)? Increases efficiency to 85%. ANSWER: An economizer coil section is not required. 8. Question: Can you tell me anything about the Load Profile? a. How many days a week? Hours a day will the unit be operating? b. Minimum & maximum steam load demand lbs/hr? ANSWER: During max operating times the boilers will need to run at maximum capacity for 10 hours per day, 7 days per week. The minimum load is a continuous 20% for the purpose of freeze protection at the facilities it is supporting. Maximum load will require air to be heated from below 32F up to 180F at 3000 CFM per process line (these are feeding two identical process lines). Ignoring losses, I estimated the maximum load at about 1,00,000 btu/hr. Additional steam loads may be added in the future. Each boiler should handle the maximum load independently to meet our redundancy requirements. 9. Question: Will unit be hooked up to interenet/ethernet/modbus? ANSWER: No, it will NOT be hooked up to internet/Ethernet/Modbus. PBA prefers linkage style controls. 10. Question: What state will these units be installed? Need to adhere to state regulations. ANSWER: These units will be installed in Arkansas. 11. Question: Will these be installed on a ship or factory? ANSWER: The boilers are in a central utility plant and are piped to the facilities it supports. The purpose of amendment 0002 is to extend the open period of the solicitation.
