ICAC Releases Bid Specification and Bid Evaluation Forms for Activated Carbon Injection Systems
Washington, D.C. The Institute of Clean Air Companies, Inc. (ICAC), the national association of stationary source air pollution control and monitoring technology companies' releases guidance on selecting and evaluating bids for activated carbon injection systems for coal fired power plants. ICAC's Mercury Control Technology Division developed the Bid Specification and Information Requirements and Bid Evaluation Form for Activated Carbon Injection Systems (HG-1) document to assist purchasers of activated carbon injection systems compile information necessary to procure meaningful bids from suppliers of activated carbon injection systems. The document includes bid specification information requirements, a bid evaluation and a sample bid specification.
Activated Carbon Injection (ACI) Systems designed to control mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants represents the simplest and most mature approaches to controlling mercury emissions from coal-fired boilers. An increasing number of electric power and industrial applications are now requiring the installation of emissions control systems to address mercury emissions. ICAC's Executive Director, David Foerter notes there is "over 60 gigawatts of coal fired generation with booked contracts for ACI systems and over 12 gigawatts operational". In general, ACI systems and suppliers agree the design parameters are important in sizing an ACI system. However, a supplier's databases and injections techniques may account for different parameters depending on individual supplier experience. ACI system suppliers prepared HG-1 incorporating all the necessary data that might be expected to be used to properly designed and size ACI systems.
The Institute of Clean Air Companies, Inc. (ICAC) is the national trade association representing companies that manufacture, supply, and service stationary source air pollution monitoring and control systems and equipment. ICAC was formed in 1960 to promote the understanding of air pollution control technologies and services and to improve engineering and technical standards within the industry. The Institute's mission is to assure a strong and workable air quality policy that promotes public health, environmental quality, and industrial progress.
