Description/History
The Three tanks that are being replaced are the Hydrochloric Acid, Hydrogen Peroxide, and the Sodium Hypochlorite. Hydrochloric Acid is used to create Chlorine Dioxide, which Oxidizes Metals. Hydrogen Peroxide is used for the UV Advanced Oxidation Process, eliminating bacteria from the water. Sodium Hypochlorite is used to conduct the Clean in Place Process (CIP), which cleans the Membrane Modules.
Justification
The Hydrogen Peroxide and the Sodium Hypochlorite tanks have active leaks, and will be replaced with two high density polyethylene tanks. The fiberglass has failed and continues to deteriorate. The current tank that holds the Hydrochloric Acid was repurposed to hold the chemical. This contract replaces the Hydrochloric Acid tank with a new Fiberglass Tank rated for the chemical
