Background: Boiler # 2 is a Victory Energy, D–type Water–tube boiler rated at 30,000 lb/hr steam (approximately 37.5MMBtu/h input). The boiler was originally installed in 2011 with a Webster model HDSXC–105C–9V–750 Burner. The Micro–Mod Parallel Positioning (Metering) Combustion Controls were installed in a separate project, in 2019. The burner is equipped for Natural Gas Firing, as well as Number 2 Fuel Oil with the option for either compressed air or steam atomization. The back–up (Propane) pilot system is via a small (portable) bottle, connected by a temporary hose– when needed. The Burner Flame Safeguard system is a Fireye YB110, with a Fireye YZ300 Expanded Annunciation Module and a Fireye 45UV5 Scanner– all original to the 2011 project. Item #1 Replace Boiler #2 Burner Assembly and Controls – The existing Webster Burner for Boiler #2 is damaged from a fire side explosion and shall be replaced in kind as listed as the same model identified in the above background (Webster model HDSXC–105C–9V–750 Burner). All existing burner fuel train field devices (for both gas and fuel oil) located downstream of their associated isolation valve shall be replaced in kind. All burner atomization field devices located downstream of associated isolation valve shall also be replaced in kind. Replace the burner air intake manifold and all associated ductwork, fittings, filters, alarms, etc. Replace all existing field devices for combustion air in kind (See Attachment D – List of field devices to be replaced). All existing field devices being replaced shall be handed over to the VA for spare parts. The existing MICROMOD and Fireye controls systems shall remain. a.) The contractor shall inspect the existing burner, field devices, and control systems serving Boiler #2 including all wiring and integrations points.
