INTRODUCTION

This Design Basis Document (DBD) establishes the design criteria for the new Combined Heat
and Power Cogeneration Plant (the CHP) at the Eastern Maine Medical Center (EMMC) Campus
(the Campus) in Bangor, Maine, and outlines the system design, equipment and component
design features and performance characteristics consistent with that design criteria. The DBD is
intended to fix the plant design and create the framework for the detailed design, construction
documents and construction specifications. The DBD represents the objectives of Vanderweil
Engineers (VE) and its sub-consultants, CIANBRO Corporation (CIANBRO) and EMMC in
terms of design features, modularity, systems functionality and performance.

The DBD serves to ensure consistency in project intent throughout the detailed design and
development of construction documents through construction, commissioning and long-term
plant operations. The DBD ensures that EMMC’s requirements for CHP performance and quality
of construction are met. The DBD translates the project intent into specific technical and
contractual requirements for the Designer, Contractor and equipment Suppliers.

The DBD that follows provides an abridged description of the CHP, and provides design details
for systems and equipment that embody EMMC’s objectives in terms of the functional uses of the
CHP. The DBD establishes quality of materials and construction, occupancy requirements,
performance, environmental requirements and acceptance criteria for the CHP.

GENERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The CHP is intended to meet most of the near-term electrical demand and a portion of the high-
pressure steam demand on the Campus through cogeneration - the simultaneous production of
electric power and steam.

The new CHP is located east of the Maintenance Garage, about 100 feet from the existing steam
plant. The CHP comprises a nominal 4.6 MW gas turbine module with heat recovery steam
generator (HRSG), together with auxiliary systems and ancillary equipment necessary to provide
steam and electricity for the campus. The modular HRSG, matched to the gas turbine, delivers
approximately 23,000 lb/hr of steam at 110 psig/344 oF outlet steam conditions. The CHP will
supplement the existing firetube boilers, designed to deliver up to 42,000 lb/hr of steam at header
pressure conditions of approximately 100 psig/338 oF. The gas turbine is designed to fire either
natural gas or transportation grade fuel oil. The HRSG is unfired.

The CHP connects to the existing campus steam distribution system, at the existing steam plant.
Steam is distributed throughout the hospital Campus at approximately 100 psig (high pressure
steam, HPS). Condensate is returned to the existing steam plant and collected in a condensate
receiver. From the receiver, hot condensate is pumped to an existing deaerator to complete the
steam cycle. The deaerator drains into a piping header to supply the existing boiler feed pumps. A
branch connection in each of these steam and feedwater headers will accommodate new steam
and feedwater piping to and from the CHP. This will maximize the use of existing infrastructure.

Cogen plant equipment is arranged in a modular fashion within a new building to provide
operators with a single point of control for monitoring Campus steam production (see General
Arrangement Drawings).

The design philosophy described above allows construction of this facility and interconnecting
piping independent of the existing steam plant up to the tie-in points.

The combustion turbine, heat recovery boiler, control room and other spaces and auxiliary
equipment are housed in a new steel framed building. The building is designed to be compatible
with the campus environment and adjacent buildings. The building retains a low profile.
Outdoor equipment and utilities are oriented to face away from adjacent neighborhoods, the
campus community, and adjacent roadways. Existing trees and earthen banks provide screening
elements. Building drainage and storm water run-off will be directed to new drain manholes.

Natural gas is the primary fuel for the gas turbine. Transportation grade No. 2 fuel oil is the back-
up fuel for the gas turbine and the primary fuel for the packaged boilers. EMMC will separately
contract with Bangor Gas for permitting and development of the high pressure gas pipeline to the
CHP.

OBJECTIVES

1 Project Objectives

EMMC has several key objectives for this project which include:

1.1 That all contractual obligations of the Designer and Contractor are met.
1.2 That the project is completed and operated in compliance with the conditions of
state and local permits.
1.3 That design and operation of the CHP minimizes any potential impact to the
hospital campus (the Campus) and adjacent neighborhoods.
1.4 That the CHP and related ancillaries generally comply with the EMMC Board-
approved Total Project Cost Estimate for the CHP. Deviations from this plan will
be documented, justified and subject to EMMC-Board approval.
1.5 That the “power island” comprising gas turbine and heat recovery steam generator
are designed as modules for integration at similar CHP Energy Projects.
1.6 That quality processes are enabled by all project team members to eliminate
problems and to ensure that errors are corrected prior to becoming problems.
1.7 The project is constructed safely with a goal of zero OSHA recordable events
throughout construction and start-up.
1.8 That systems operation and levels of quality are verified and documented during
construction, start-up, and commissioning.
1.9 That the gas turbine and heat recovery steam generator are operational within 16
months after CON and EMH Board approval.
1.10 That a 100% acceptance rate is achieved on start-up and commissioning,
performance and emissions tests.

include PTC 22 for the gas turbine and PTC 36 for industrial sound measurement.
1.2 A Commissioning Manual will be used to organize testing of power generation and
auxiliary systems.
1.3 Start-up, commissioning and performance testing of electrical systems shall comply
with the International Electrical Testing Association (NETA) and the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc. (IEEE) codes and standards.
1.4 Minimum standards will be used in conjunction with manufacturer checklists and
system testing documentation as well as state and local codes and ordinances.
1.5 CIANBRO Corporation, its Subcontractors and Sub-Subcontractors shall make-up
any pre-functional checklists or forms required for equipment and/or systems to be
commissioned.
1.6 EMMC’s acceptance of CHP design and construction will be based on the
successful operation of the Facility in the mode described at the conditions stated in
Exhibit B. These conditions are presented on Energy Balance Diagrams included in
Exhibit B.
1.7 Vanderweil will develop the detailed criteria against which Facility performance
will be measured during start-up and commissioning, and on which equipment
warranties are based. Such criteria will measure Facility performance at both
maximum continuous rating and warrantee conditions. Equipment vendors will
submit Predicted Performance Sheets for their equipment based on these
performance criteria. The Predicted Performance Sheets for the CTG will state
assumptions such as inlet air temperature, unit load and exhaust gas flow when the
unit is operated on gas and oil.
