Specifications include, but are not limited to: CHEMICAL TREATMENT PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES Boiler/Condensate Systems The successful treatment company shall implement an effective chemical treatment and service program to: 1. Prevent oxygen pitting, scaling, caustic gauging or embrittlement within boiler systems. 2. Control general corrosion within condensate systems to a measurable amount of less than 1 mil per year. 3. Promote sludge conditioning and the complete dispersion of solids within the boiler systems. 4. Prevent boiler internal hard scale deposition resulting from hardness components, silicates, metallic particles or other adherent deposits. 5. Prevent oxygen pitting, carbonic acid corrosion, and fouling deposits in condensate systems. OPEN COOLING SYSTEMS The successful treatment company shall implement an effective chemical treatment and service program to: 1. Control general corrosion within all open systems to a measurable amount equal to or less than 2.0 mils per year for carbon and stainless steels. Admiralty and other copper alloys shall be controlled to 0.2 mils or less per year. 2. Prevent hardness, silica, or other scale forming deposits in cooling towers heat exchangers or related system components. 3. Control biological and bacterial growths to prevent corrosion and fouling of heat exchangers, cooling towers or related system components. Must have a clearly published company position on Legionella bacteria control. 4. Operate cooling towers from 6 to 10 cycles of concentration with emphasis on maximizing the cycles of concentration within this range. Closed Heating, Chilled, and Cooling Systems The successful treatment company shall implement an effective chemical treatment and service program to: 1. Control general corrosion within all closed systems to a measurable amount of less than 2.0 mil per year for carbon steel and stainless steel and less than 0.2 mil per year for admiralty and other copper alloys.2. Prevent hardness, silica, or other scale forming deposits in heat exchangers or related system components. 3. Control biological and bacterial growth to prevent corrosion and failing of heat exchangers or related system components. 4. The proposal shall include cleanup programs to treat various closed loop conditions. 5. The company treating the Augusta University closed loop water system will be responsible for replacing filters as needed.
