1.0 SCOPE
This Procurement Specification (hereafter referred to as
Specification) provides baseline
requirements for design and procurement of one (1) Electric
Steam Boiler and feedwater system
for the Effluent Treatment Facility (ETF) Steam Strippers. This
Specification establishes the
functions, interfaces, functional performance requirements,
applicable codes and standards,
requirements for the thermal design, mechanical design,
materials, fabrication, assembly,
inspecting, testing, quality oversight, documentation,
packaging, transportation, and delivery of
the Electric Steam Boiler and feedwater system, hence referred
to as Boiler system, which
includes two (2) Electric Boilers, one (1) Deaerator, two (2)
Boiler feed pumps, one (1)
blowdown separator, and the associated control valves, orifices,
relief valves, etc. as detailed
herein for the ETF Steam Stripper System. The Electric Boilers
shall be resistance element
steam boilers constructed in accordance with Section I of the
American Society of Mechanical
Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code
(B&PVC).
The SELLER shall supply all equipment within the Vendor Package
Outlines depicted on the
Process and Instrumentation Diagram (P&ID) drawing
H-2-839043 sheet 1 and H-2-839044
sheet 1. The BUYER will provide all piping, electrical, and
controls to/from the Vendor
Package equipment as outlined on H-2-839043 sheet 1, and
H-2-839044 sheet 1, and in this
specification.
1.1 DESCRIPTION
Washington River Protection Solutions, LLC (WRPS), is the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE),
Office of River Protection (ORP) Tank Farm Operating Contract
(TOC). WRPS is contracted to
provide safe, compliant, cost-effective, and energy-efficient
services to further the DOE-ORP
River Protection Project (RPP) Mission. In order to safely
complete the RPP Mission, various
permanent or temporary systems and associated components are
required.
This Specification identifies and communicates the common
inputs, requirements, and criteria
for the design and procurement of Electric Steam Boilers,
Deaerator, Boiler feed pumps, and
blowdown separator for the ETF Steam Strippers. The function of
the Electric Steam Boilers are
to produce steam that will be used to distill the acetonitrile
out of the process waste fluid in the
Steam Stripper columns.
The Boiler equipment is designated General Service and
Industrial Grade Quality.
1.2 DOCUMENT OVERVIEW
This Specification is a "design-build" specification,
delineating the required functions and
requirements to which the VENDOR (SELLER) shall adhere in
providing the finished
products/services to the BUYER. Where specific make and model of
equipment and/or systems
are called out in this Specification, BUYER-approved equivalents
will be considered.

The equipment being procured via this Specification shall
interface with BUYER provided
equipment and systems per Section 3.2.
Specific to this document, the following requirements and
definitions are applicable.
1.2.1 Definitions
• DEVIATION – Any departure from the requirements contained in
the purchase order and specification, which SELLER proposes to
incorporate if approved by BUYER.
• PRODUCT DATA – Printed information including, but not limited
to, catalog cuts, color charts, illustrations, diagrams, templates,
performance curves, brochures, and other forms
of Product literature.
• Shall/Must – Denotes project requirements, compliance is
required.
• Should – Denotes recommendation or expectation, compliance is
expected. If a “should” recommendation cannot be satisfied,
justification of an alternative design solution shall
be submitted to the BUYER for approval.
• Will – Denotes a statement of fact.
• May – Denotes a “permissive” for a stated action, or denotes a
possible outcome depending on the context of the verbiage.
• BUYER – The TOC responsible for managing the design,
procurement, and construction of the procured item.
• SELLER – Contracted fabricator, vendor, or subcontractor
performing work to the contract drawings, procurement Data Sheets,
and technical specifications.
• Substitution - Any change or deviation from issued approved
drawings, designs, methods, or contract terms and conditions.
Changes in products, materials, equipment,
methods of construction, and test criteria required by the
Contract Documents proposed
by the SELLER after award of the Contract are considered to be
requests for
substitution.
• WITNESS POINT – An inspection activity beyond which work shall
not proceed until an inspector and/or BUYER is notified and (1) the
inspection is performed and released, or
(2) the inspection is deferred and can be completed at a later
time, or (3) a written waiver
is issued by the organization who established the witness
point.
1.3 BACKGROUND
The Hanford Site located in Washington State contains the
largest quantity of legacy tank waste
in the DOE complex. Most of these nuclear wastes, resulting from
the processing operations of
defense nuclear materials, are stored in 177 underground storage
tanks. The tanks contain an

estimated 56 million gallons of hazardous and radioactive
liquids, sludge, and salt cake with
approximately 175 million curies of radioactivity. These tanks
are located on the Central Plateau
of the Hanford Site in 200 East and 200 West Areas.
The ETF treats secondary liquid waste generated from waste
streams at the Hanford Site. This
Specification is prepared to detail requirements associated with
the new ETF Acetonitrile Steam
Stripper system which will remove acetonitrile from the waste
treatment plant effluent stream,
prior to delisting and disposal.
