then the quantity may be enhanced and the cost for extra consumption will have to be
borne by the party. The result of the test is binding on the party.
NOTE:
Chlorine and Soda ash Dosing:
The Bidders may note that the supply of chlorine and soda ash is in the scope of RCF. However
the supply of chemical for ClO2 generation including the required equipment shall be in the
scope of Bidder.
It is observed that consumption of soda ash and chlorine increases due to biocides loosing their
effectiveness. In such cases, bidder shall take immediate corrective actions on priority basis to
restore effectiveness of biocides such that soda ash and chlorine demand in CT should remain
within mentioned limits.
If soda ash and Chlorine consumption individually exceeds the limits for each plant, as per
clause 8.8 (Page 14), then excess soda ash and Chlorine, including all associated activities like
handling of these chemicals, shall be supplied by the Bidder free of cost.
Due to any reason FRC is not detected after required chlorine dosing, Party will analyze ClO 2
and will maintain its level at minimum 0.2 ppm.
 FOR AMMONIA PLANT:
In the present set up, continuous chlorination is being done @ 2 to 3 Kg/hr per tower, along with
ClO2 to get around 0.2 ppm of FRC all the time in re-circulating water.
Bidder should clearly mention the rate of chlorination required for all the towers individually to
get around 0.2 ppm of FRC in re-circulating water.
Total chlorine consumption shall not exceed 55 T / year and total soda ash consumption shall
not exceed 30 T / year, for Ammonia Plant (Refer clause 8.8, (Page 14).
 FOR UREA PLANT:
Continuous chlorination is not desirable due to SS equipments in the plant
In the present set up, chlorination is being done @ 1.5 Kg/hr, along with ClO2 to get around 0.2
ppm of FRC all the time in re-circulating water.
Chlorine dioxide was used in the previous programme as biocide for about 90 days during
winter months. The pH excursions were controlled and there was a reduction in the consumption
of chlorine.
Total chlorine consumption shall not exceed 18 T / year and soda ash consumption shall not
exceed 20 T / year for Urea Plant. Refer clause 8.8 (Page 14).
