for the tests including fans, compressor, blank-off plates, gaskets, and
smoke bombs. Notify the Contracting Officer 48 hours in advance prior to
conducting any smoke tests. Tests will be witnessed by the Government's
Field Representative.

Acceptance Tests
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Method 17 of 40 CFR 60 may be used as an
alternative to Method 5. Specify that testing shall
include sootblowing where applicable in certain
states. If necessary provide for steam venting.
Test with fuel close to design parameters. Operate
boiler close to design parameters.
**************************************************************************

NOTE: Since most Navy facilities are not base
loaded determine turn down capabilities of system.
**************************************************************************
After a period of initial operation, a performance test will be conducted
on the [entire steam plant] [dry FGD system]. Conduct tests to determine
if, according to the Contracting Officer, equipment and systems provided
under this contract appear to be operating in a reliable and satisfactory
manner. Tests will be conducted to determine if the equipment is
performing as specified. Conduct final acceptance tests for gas cleaning
performance in accordance with the test procedures outlined in U.S. EPA
regulation 40 CFR 60. Performance testing for the fabric filter baghouses
shall conform to methods 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, and 9. [For the purpose of
determining fabric filter baghouse performance, the term "particulate"
shall not include material collected in the impingers of the Method 5
sampling train.] Performance simultaneously testing for sulfur dioxide
removal efficiency will be based on testing upstream of the spray dryer
sulfur dioxide absorber and downstream of the fabric filter baghouse
utilizing Method 6. Three contiguous one-hour runs shall constitute one
test. Tests shall be conducted on the flue gas cleaning equipment for each
of the units. Conduct tests at both 50 and 100 percent of rated boiler
capacity. The operating temperature limits specified will be maintained
during the acceptance tests. [Sootblowers will [not] be operated during
the performance test for sulfur dioxide removal or fabric filter baghouse
performance]. Perform field performance tests by an independent testing
organization approved by the Contracting Officer. The Contractor shall
give written notice to the Contracting Officer, at least 45 calendar days
before scheduled test date, stating that equipment is being scheduled for
test. Perform a trial run of 30 days minimum before actual test to ensure
that associated systems required for the test are ready. Contractor and
the manufacturer's field service engineer shall witness the test. Tests
shall be performed at design conditions herein specified. Conduct the
efficiency tests after the gas cleaning system has been in continuous
service for at least 45 days.
3.4.5
System Stoichiometry Tests
Contractor shall conduct system stoichometry tests for the flue gas
cleaning systems. Measure system stoichiometry as the ratio of moles of
sorbent entering the spray absorber per mole of sulfur dioxide entering the
spray absorber. Sulfur dioxide entering the spray absorber shall be
determined by Method 6 of 40 CFR 60, Appendix A. Sorbent entering the
