Other Polymer Bidders may propose alternative polymer chemicals, provided they demonstrate the chemical's performance at the BDD Water Treatment Plant at no cost or obligation to BDD. The full-scale demonstration must be conducted using BDD's existing polymer feed and dewatering equipment. Performance will be evaluated based on the following criteria: The polymer shall be evaluated for its effectiveness in dewatering sludge generated from Ferric Chloride flocculation at the water treatment plant. The following conditions and performance requirements shall apply: Minimum solids feed rate: 120 GPM at 5.0% solids. Maximum hydraulic loading rate: 350 GPM at 2.0% solids. Maximum solids loading rate: 3,300 dry pounds per hour. Minimum cake solids concentration: 20%. Minimum solids capture efficiency: 95% of total solids in the sludge feed. Maximum polymer dosage (active polymer): 12 pounds per dry ton of solids. Minimum continuous demonstration run time at steady state: 2 hours. Percent Solids Capture = (C/F) x [(F-E)/(C-E)] x 100 Where C = Dewatered sludge total solids in mg/kg F*= Feed TS in mg/kg, excluding any dilution flow from polymer solution flow E = Centrate[GR1] [AC2] total suspended solids (TSS) in mg/kg, excluding any dilution from polymer solution flow. 14* Feed refers to sludge feed excluding active polymer and polymer dilution water flow rates. A polymer may be selected from those demonstrated to be the most cost effective at meeting the above criteria. If selected, the polymer is to be ordered in 275 Gallon tote quantities.
