CFA-686 Carbon-based Fuels Capability CO2 Compressor Design/Build

INTRODUCTION Battelle Energy Alliance, LLC (BEA), Management & Operating Contractor of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) owned Idaho National Laboratory (INL), is seeking an Expression of Interest (EOI) from prospective offerors to support the design, fabrication, testing, and delivery of a CO2 compressor for the Central Facilities Area (CFA) Carbon-based Fuels Capability. PROCESS BEA is seeking qualified firms to compete for the design/build contract in support of the CFA-686 CO2 Compressor. As determined by BEA, responders to this EOI may receive a Request for Proposal (RFP) that will require detailed technical and price proposals be provided for evaluation and ranking under a source selection process. Interested firms are advised that RFP release and the source selection/award decision timeline will be communicated following review of submitted EOIs. The contract award type will be firm-fixed price. Per the proposed project schedule, all durations are After Receipt of Order (ARO): Engineering Documentation Report (3 weeks), shop fabrication drawings (4 weeks), complete shop fabrication (40 weeks), and compressor arrival at INL (3 weeks). PROJECT DESCRIPTION The compressor will be designed, fabricated, tested, and delivered for the INL Central Facilities Area (CFA) Carbon-based Fuels Capability (CFA-686). The compressor will be used to compress CO2 from a combustor unit into a storage vessel that will supply gas to downstream users, and will be housed in a protected shipping container. The compressor shall be oil-free, liquid-cooled, fixed speed, and electric motor driven. Inlet conditions are 50-100�F at 0.14-2 psig; outlet conditions are 1,400 psig, 66.1 scfm, and 150�F, with the unit operating on a nearly continuous basis. The compressor and all components must fit within a high cube shipping container with interior dimensions of 19'6" long x 7'9" wide x 8'10" high, and must be mounted on a structural frame designed and fabricated in accordance with the...
