AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory in Pittsburgh issued a solicitation for a specialized slurry pump identified as the Caster Model MTA1011S3T5-HP275/HT. This pump is a magnetic drive single-stage regenerative turbine designed for high pressure and high-temperature applications. Its construction includes a machined 316 stainless steel casing, Hastelloy C-276 containment shell, silicon carbide bearings, and dual samarium cobalt high-temperature magnetic couplings. It operates at 1750 rpm with a rated duty of 14 gallons per minute at 70 feet total dynamic head, requiring 1.6 brake horsepower, powered by a 3 hp inverter-duty, totally enclosed fan-cooled motor. The pump can handle flow rates ranging from 3 to 26 GPM, with a maximum continuous operating temperature of 410°F and system pressures up to 2650 psig, hydrotested to 4000 psig. It is designed for tough slurry conditions involving fine rock particles suspended in a saline solution with CO2 gas, with slurry concentrations potentially up to 40%. The pump assembly includes a cast iron oil-lubricated ball bearing frame and a custom-fabricated steel external bracket for pedestal mounting. The suction and discharge ports are each 1 inch, configured as required by the application. The solicitation emphasizes the need for a centrifugal-type pump body capable of variable flow rates through a variable speed motor, the ability to withstand significant process pressure and temperature, and a magnetic drive coupling to ensure sealed operation. Offers responding to this solicitation must provide comprehensive technical documentation verifying that all specifications are met. Deliveries are to be made to the Department’s Albany Research Center in Oregon, with proposals due by February 15, 2002, under solicitation number DE-RQ26-02NT200163, following Federal Acquisition Regulations for commercial item procurement.

Full Description

The U. S. Department of Energy, National Energy Technology Laboratory, Pittsburgh PA issued this synopsis/solicitation for Caster Model MTA1011S3T5-HP275/HT Sealless Process Pump, Pump type: Magnetic drive single stage regenerative turbine, custom high pressure/high-temperature design, Materials: Machined 316SS pump casing, rear channel ring, and internal magnet casing, Hastelloy C-276 containment shell, silicon carbide shaft and sleeve bearings, nickel/chrome-impregnated carbon thrust bearings, AF600 high temperature o-rings, dual samarium cobalt high-temp. magnetic coupling, custom fabricated steel high-pressure/high-temperature external bracket (pedestal configuration). 1750rpm rated duty point: 14 GPM @ 70 ft TDH (30psi), requiring 1.6 bhp (2.0 bhp @ min. flow), Drive: cast iron oil lube ball bearing frame, Motor: 3 Hp 208-230/460/3/60/1750rpm 182T NEMA frame inverter-duty TEFC footed motor, Min. Flow: 3 GPM, Max head: 127 ft TDH (55psi), Max. Flow: 26 GPM, Ports: 1" suction x 1" discharge; configuration as required, Max. continuous temp: 410 degrees F, Max. S.G.: 1.4, Max. system pressure: 2650 psig (hydrotested to 275 bar = 4000 psig) or EQUAL. To be delivered to Department of Energy's Albany Research Center, Albany, Oregon. The solicitation number is DE-RQ26-02NT200163. This announcement constitutes both notification and solicitation. All in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation, Part 12, Commercial Item Acquisition. Offers shall include descriptive literature containing sufficient technical literature to establish a bonafide capacity of meeting the RFQ requirements. Offers must be received by close of business February 15, 2002 SALIENT FEATURES: 1. Variable flow rate through use of variable speed motor. 2. Flow rate of 3 to 25 GPM. 3. Pump case to withstand process pressure of 2,300 psig and a temperature of 185 oC. 4. The Pump should be able to generate at least 30 psig across it. 5. A magnetic-type drive for coupling between motor and impellor. 6. Centrifugal-type pump body. 7. The pump must be able to withstand pumping a slurry of very fine rock (< 100 micron) in a NaCl/NaHCO3 solution (ph 6 to 8) and CO2 gas. Surry ratio will probably be 15% but we want to plan for as high as 40%.
