Description
The East Orange VA Medical Center is seeking a water treatment consultation service. The contract has already been awarded to Boiler Plant, but the document provides information about the current state of the water treatment system and the necessary repairs and maintenance. The system includes several towers, including the Main tower, OR tower, and Bldg 15 tower, each with its own set of issues and requirements. The document also mentions the need for equipment to measure chemical inventory, new reagents, and operator training. The scope of work includes sterilizing the system, circulating water through the towers, and maintaining the chemical feed and control system.
• The water softeners are capable of providing only soft water makeup to the boilers.
• The condensate return is very low and the steam and condensate system repair is part of a large project.
• The controller needs to be lowered to eye level and the bleed solenoid is not working.
• The system must be sterilized when it is turned on for the season and a sample for an LDB test must be taken within seven days of startup.
• The tower should be circulated through the chillers and all piping for at least two hours three times a week while it contains water.
