Description

STATEMENT OF WORK FOR CONTINUOUS EMISSION MONITORING SYSTEM (CEMS) 29 APR 2026 BACKGROUND: The Air Force Institute of Technology does not currently have a method for accurately determining the combustion efficiency and quantity of other exhaust products from advanced engines. The composition of the products is dependent on many factors including fuel type, consumption rate, temperature, altitude, etc. In testing the engine the AFIT students are working on, all these factors are pushed to the limits to find the edges of current capability. Knowing the emissions from the engines can ensure their feasibility, viability and survivability for the Air Force. All tests conducted are for research purposes, only. I. TEST CELL INFORMATION: Source Information: 1. Application Description: Research Engines 2. Source Type: Detonation and Deflagration engines 3. Size/Capacity: 2g/s – 33 lbm/s 4. Air Pollution Control Devices: None 5. Shelter/Analyzer Enclosure Location: Test Cell 6. DAHS Computer Location: Test Cell 7. CEMS Sample Probe Location: Test Cell Flue Gas Stream Constituents at Sample Probe Location: Constituents (SO2 , NOx , CO, H2 S, NH3 , HCl, Hydrocarbons, O2 , CO2, Opacity) are all unknown. Research Engines run in every possible state from ER 0.01 to 10. Flue Gas Conditions at Sample Probe Location: There are no typical conditions, all research. (i.e. Flue gas temperature, flue gas static pressure, flue gas velocity, water vapor, dust/particulate loading, water drops, fuels burned) Ambient Environment at CEMS Enclosure Location: 1. Elevation above sea level: 520 ft 2. Temperature: Minimum 20° F, Maximum 120° F 3. No unusual atmosphere 4. Relative Humidity: Minimum 10%, Maximum 100% 5. Facility Electrical Power Available: 480 or 240 VAC, 3 Phase 6. UPS Electrical Power Available: 110 VAC, 1 Phase 7. Instrument Air Available: 135 psig Physical Arrangement at Probe Location: 1. The research lab has many engines, varying from small to large. There is no fixed duct. 2. Hazardous Area Electrical Classification: Any -- 1 of 4 -- -- 2 of 4 -- V. LEAD TIME: The contractor shall deliver a complete system no later than 6 months after contract award. VI. WARRANTY: 1 year VII. DELIVERY PROCEDURES COMMERCIAL VEHICLES: All vehicles larger than a large pick‐up truck is required to be inspected by the Wright‐ Patterson Air Force Base Commercial Vehicle Delivery Gate (CVDG) prior to entering the installation. 1 Vehicles to be inspected include, but are not limited to, the following: 1.1.1 Step van/panel truck 1.1.2 Tractor/trailer, box, and flatbed containing cargo 1.1.3 Tanker trucks 1.1.4 Box Trucks 1.1.5 Tour buses 1.1.6 Garbage/recycled waste trucks 1.1.7 Concrete trucks/mixers, dump trucks 1.1.8 Cranes, recreational vehicles, petroleum tanker 2 This inspection will be conducted at Gate 16A located off State Route 444. The following are exceptions to vehicles utilizing the CVDG: 2.1 If the vehicle has the product inside (concrete and asphalt trucks) and timely delivery is necessary due to product deterioration it does not need to enter the CVDG. To bypass the CVDG, the contractor shall submit a list containing drivers’ names, social security numbers and the state in which the driver's license is held for those drivers who will be entering the base. This shall be accomplished 24 hours prior to requested entry time. If entry is requested on Monday, this list must be submitted by Friday at 1630 hours. All lists shall be submitted to the 88th ABW/CE Directorate contract inspector. The only gates that may be used under this exemption shall be 15A, 26A, 38A, and gate 1B. If the driver's name is not on the list, he/she will not be allowed access to the installation through these gates and the base will not assume liability for denied access. 2.2 If a delivery vehicle must exit, and then re‐enter the base to complete its route, the vehicle shall be resealed upon exiting the base. After initially passing through the commercial vehicle delivery gate, trucks shall be resealed at Gates 15A, 38A and 22B. The resealing of the trucks will allow them to continue to any other area of the installation (Areas A, B, or Kittyhawk) without reprocessing through the CVDG. To receive resealing assistance, the drivers shall physically stop at one of the three authorized gates and request the installation entry controller to reseal their truck and provide the next location of their delivery. The controller will reseal the truck and give the delivery driver a pre‐clearance form. The driver shall present the pre‐clearance form to -- 3 of 4 -- the entry controller at the next point of installation entry. This reentry can be at any base gate. 2.3 Wright Patterson Integrated Defense Plan, paragraph 3.10.12.9.2. All irregular deliveries will be sent to the CVDG for inspection. All visitors, which include contractors and commercial vendors without proper background checks and contractor passes, will not be allowed on WPAFB unless escorted by the receiving agency. This will take place after the individual(s) are issued a pre‐ clearance form at the CVDG. After successful completion of the vehicle inspection, the receiving agency will escort the individual to and from their destination on WPAFB. An inspector at the CVDG will contact the receiving. agency, informing them to send an escort to the CVDG. Escorts will remain with the vehicle at all times while it is on WPAFB. 3 Vehicles may be subject to an inspection at any of installation entry control points during a directed random antiterrorism measure (RAM). Any commercial vehicle, regardless of size, can be directed to the CVDG at the discretion of the installation entry controller. VIII. INVOICE AND PAYMENT: The contractor shall be paid upon submission of a properly prepared invoice and after final inspection and acceptance have been made. A proper invoice shall cite the contractor’s name and address, invoice number, invoice date, order number, contract line-item number (CLIN
