Area of Interest 02: Phase II Round 3 Field Testing of Advanced Post-Combustion Mercury Control Technologies Capable of Achieving 50-70% Mercury Removal: NOTE: Registration Requirements: As part of the Department?s implementation of e-Government, WE ARE REQUIRING THE SUBMISSION OF APPLICATIONS THROUGH GRANTS.GOV. There are several one-time actions you must complete in order to submit an application through Grants.gov (e.g., obtain a Dun and Bradstreet Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number, register with the Central Contractor Registration (CCR), register with the credential provider and register with Grants.gov). You must complete all the one-time actions in ?Get Started? at www.Grants.gov prior to submitting your initial application. APPLICANTS, WHO ARE NOT REGISTERED WITH CCR AND GRANTS.GOV, SHOULD ALLOW AT LEAST 14 DAYS TO COMPLETE THESE REQUIREMENTS. It is suggested that the process be started as soon as possible. Area of Interest 2 is for additional (Round 3) Phase II field testing of advanced post-combustion mercury control technologies in specific areas of need capable of achieving 50-70% (above baseline) mercury removal at 50% or less of the baseline cost. The baseline cost estimate is $60,000/lb of mercury removed. This area of interest requires longer-term field testing of two to six months at optimum process conditions. The focus of Area of Interest 2 is to test specific mercury control technologies on coal types and plant configurations that have not been, or are not being, sufficiently tested under Phase I or Phase II Rounds 1 2 test programs. That is, DOE/NETL is seeking plants (host sites) that have not been previously tested under DOE/NETL?s field testing program. Specifically, DOE/NETL is seeking applications for the following: 1. Additional testing of either standard or treated activated carbon injection (ACI) and/or sorbent enhancement additives (SEAs) on plants burning eastern bituminous high sulfur (?3.0 lbs/mmBtu) or low sulfur (?1.1 lbs/mmBtu) coals and having ESPs with small specific collection areas (approximately ?250 ft2/kacfm). 2. Additional testing of either standard or treated ACI and/or SEAs on plants burning bituminous coal or subbituminous coals and equipped with SCR/ESP/FGD (preferred) or ESP/FGD configurations. 3. Additional testing of either standard or treated ACI and/or SEAs on plants burning non-PRB subbituminous coals (e.g., Rocky Mountain and SouthWestern subbituminous coals). 4. Additional testing of either standard or treated ACI and/or SEAs on plants using cyclone boilers burning subbituminous coals and equipped with an ESP. 5. Additional testing of mercury oxidation catalysts or reagents on plants burning any coal type and equipped with an FGD. As previously stated, DOE/NETL recognizes that certain mercury control technologies proposed for full scale field testing may require significant outlays for capital equipment in order to be tested. The funding available for this solicitation is limited and is to be used primarily for testing and evaluating the performance of the proposed technology and not for the purchase of equipment. If the total cost for a test site exceeds $3.3 million (maximum $2.5 million DOE funding + $0.83 million cost share), the applicant would be required to cover the additional costs, which would result in the applicant providing greater than 25% cost sharing for that test site.
