**************************************************************************
NOTE: Select air flows, temperatures, and dust
loadings similar to design conditions.
**************************************************************************
Units which have been replaced within 3 years of start-up, have had
retrofit, overhaul, or repair cost exceeding 10 percent of the original
price of the collector (excluding transportation and erection), have failed
to meet specified removal efficiency, or have allowed emissions to exceed
specified limits shall be considered failures. Off-line time exceeding
five percent of the planned annual operation or 300 hours per annum,
whichever is less, within the first 3 years of operation due to collector
or component failure shall be considered a failure. System failure due to
natural disaster or a result of damage from fire or explosion in
appurtenant structures will not be considered failure. Pilot or research
certify that the manufacturer has constructed not less than two dry FGD
systems of the same design as proposed for this project treating flue gas
from a boiler with [automatic][manual] combustion control [and a mechanical
cyclone-type dust collector]. Each dry FGD system shall have performed
satisfactorily, normal maintenance or downtime of the associated
[boiler][dust collector] included, for a period of not less than 2 years
treating at least [_____] L/s acfm of inlet gas at a temperature of at
least [_____] degrees C degrees F, with inlet dust loading of at least
[_____] grams per liter grains per acf and outlet dust loading of at most
[_____] grams per actual liter grains per actual cubic feet. In
determining this experience:
a.
Only collection of fly ash as produced by [pulverized coal-fired
boilers] [stroker coal-fired boilers] is considered as equivalent
experience.
b.
Only experience at the maximum continuous flow rate, plus or minus
40 percent, maximum continuous inlet flue gas temperature, plus or
minus 46 degrees C 50 degrees F, and maximum continuous inlet dust
loading, plus or minus 50 percent, is acceptable.

OPERATOR TRAINING PROGRAM
Provide an organized training program for the Government's operating
personnel including the system specified herein. The purpose of the
training program is to familiarize personnel with the operation and
maintenance of the flue gas cleaning system and the individual equipment
components. The training program shall be designed to provide the
operators with a working knowledge of the theory and principles of
operation of the system, the activities required for operation and control
of the system and the tools and techniques required for maintenance of the
system. The training program shall provide classroom instruction, testing,
and hands-on training to ensure that operators who complete the organized
