STATEMENT OF WORK

Project Title:

Use of Pressurized Ozone and Compressed Air Flotation with Membrane Filtration for Industrial Process Water Treatment at a Forest Products Facility

Contractor:

New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA)
17 Columbia Circle
Albany, NY 11203-6399
(518) 862-1090x3377

Program Area:

Industrial

Partners:

Michigan Department of Consumer & Industry Services
Pactiv Corporation

Project Description:

The contractor and partners will install, monitor, and demonstrate a novel integration of technologies for removal of total dissolved solids (TDS) from pulp and paper mill process water. System impacts will be evaluated and results disseminated to various process water intensive industries including but not limited to the pulp and paper sector.

Management Plan (Approach):

The unique nature of STAC requires that projects be supported by multiple State entities, and to the extent necessary any other entity. As indicated in the STAC Agreement, it is the Contractor’s responsibility to coordinate the execution of work under the Contract, incorporated by reference hereto. Contractor, in conjunction with the other State entities, and to the extent necessary any other entity, shall conduct the project in accordance with the Management Plan (approach) described below.

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) will provide contract project administration and management services in collaboration with the Michigan Department of Consumer and Industry Services who will provide outreach. The contractor and partners propose to install a novel integration of industrial technologies for application in the forest products industry and perform technology transfer within and beyond the two states of NY and MI. Dr. Dana Levy of NYSERDA will serve as the project manager. The project includes NYSERDA’s subcontractor, Pactiv Corporation of Plattsburgh, NY, which will serve as the project industrial lead and host site for the technology application and demonstration of the first integrated system. Pactiv Corporation will issue and administer sub-contracts to Resource Recycling Systems, Inc., of Ann Arbor, MI, and Western Michigan University of Kalamazoo, MI.

Task 1: Mobilization, Planning and Project Status

Pactiv and the project partners will mobilize, provide appropriate research and project planning work, including a detailed project workscope for the project. Engineering execution plan, construction installation and vendor requirements will also be detailed. This task shall be completed by Pactiv in collaboration with is subcontractors and vendors.

Task 2: Pilot Trial Development

Pactiv, Western Michigan University (WMU), Resource Recycling Systems, Inc. (RRSI) and the project partners will perform a developmental pilot trial using the full-scale pilot pressurized ozone system located at Western Michigan University’s Paper Industry Pilot Plant. This pilot trial work will provide operational and design data for use in system engineering and optimizations. This task shall be completed by Pactiv in collaboration with is subcontractors and vendors.

Task 3: Design Engineering

Pactiv, RRSI and the project partners and vendors will provide all necessary technical and engineering services including the required system design , engineering drawings, schedules, and lists. This work will be required for the equipment and will allow Pactiv to integrate it into the Plattsburgh mill. This task shall be completed by Pactiv in collaboration with is subcontractors and vendors.

Task 4: Equipment and System Procurement

Pactiv, RRSI and the project partners and vendors will perform the equipment procurement work, verify equipment choices, and place and track key equipment orders. This task shall be completed by Pactiv in collaboration with is subcontractors and vendors.

Task 5: Construction, Installation and Startup

Pactiv and the project partners will provide construction installation services for the pressurized ozone/CAF/membrane filtration equipment. Pactiv will provide system startup services and verification. This task shall be completed by Pactiv in collaboration with is subcontractors and vendors.

Task 6: Commercial Demonstration and Pressurize Ozone System Operations

Pactiv and the project partners will provide continuous full-scale operational commercial demonstration of the pressurized ozone system, providing 24 hour operational staffing with supervisory and management oversight. Pactiv Corporation will make required operational changes via well-defined process or production procedure changes or upgrades. This task shall be completed by Pactiv in collaboration with is subcontractors and vendors.

Task 7: Data Compilation, Analysis of Results, and Final Report

Pactiv and the project partners will compile and document the operational data resulting from the demonstration and provide analysis of the compiled data and analytical testing results. Pactiv will provide project status reports. Pactiv will prepare a final report based on the commercial demonstration unit’s operational and analytical results. Pactiv will compile all available results, information, and recommendations from the project work and project partners and prepare the final report. This task shall be completed by Pactiv in collaboration with is subcontractors and vendors.

Task 8: Commercialization and Outreach Efforts

Pactiv and the project partners will provide commercialization sales planning and develop the strategy and approach to successfully provide technology transfer and outreach of the technology to the market. Pactiv Corporation and RRSI will provide facility tours to allow interested parties to see the commercial demonstration unit and develop potential customers. Pactiv, MDCIS, and NYSERDA will provide commercialization and outreach activity quarterly for a period of one year.
