DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

 

Pittsburgh Energy Technology Center; Non-Competitive Financial 
Assistance Award

AGENCY: U.S. Department of Energy, Pittsburgh Energy Technology Center.

ACTION: Notice of Non-Competitive Financial Assistance (Cooperative 
Agreement) Award with Babcock & Wilcox.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Pittsburgh Energy 
Technology Center (PETC) announces that pursuant to 10 CFR 
600.7(b)(2)(i) criteria (B) and (D), it intends to make a non-
competitive Financial Assistance (Cooperative Agreement) award to 
Babcock & Wilcox for a research project entitled, ``Advanced Emissions 
Control Development Program.''

ADDRESSES: U.S. Department of Energy, Pittsburgh Energy Technology 
Center, Acquisition and Assistance Division, P.O. Box 10940, MS 921-
118, Pittsburgh, PA 15236-0940.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
John R. Columbia, Contract Specialist, (412) 892-6219.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Cooperative Agreement No.

    DE-FC22-94PC94251.

Title of Research Effort

    ``Advanced Emissions Control Development Program.''

Awardee

    Babcock & Wilcox.

Term of Assistance Effort

    Five (5) years.

Cost of Assistance Effort

    A Total Estimated Value of $11,000,000.000, with DOE estimated 
funding of $5,000,000.000

Objective

    The objective of the proposed program is to provide financial 
assistance to Babcock & Wilcox for the continuation of research for 
improvements in conventional flue gas cleanup technologies and will 
contribute to the development of advanced emissions control 
technologies using the Clean Environment Development Facility (CEDF) 
located at its Research Center in Alliance, Ohio. Specific areas of 
research include: optimizing the capture of air toxics in conventional 
systems, investigating the impacts of coal properties on air toxic 
emissions, developing advanced air toxics measurement concepts, 
developing advanced control concepts, and developing an air toxics 
emissions data base. The program will include these phases. Phase I 
activities will consist of test equipment modification, installation, 
and shakedown for the test equipment to be added to the CEDF, along 
with benchmarking, verification testing, and data analysis. Phase II 
research and development will focus on the optimization of convention 
systems, and Phase III will be directed at advanced control and 
measurement concepts, along with coal comparisons.
    Although the project would be carried out by the participant using 
its own funds or those donated by third parties, DOE support of the 
research will enhance the public benefits to be derived through 
technology transfer, and the DOE knows of no other entity which is 
conducting or is planning to conduct such activity. In addition, 
Babcock & Wilcox has exclusive domestic capability to perform the 
research based upon the unique equipment at the CEDF, the technical 
expertise of their project engineers, and the versatility of the CEDF 
to accept additional testing equipment required for specific projects.
