Methods to determine High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter ageing and cumulative effects of Dispersed Oil Particulate (DOP) testing on filter performance

ONR is seeking to engage one of the Technical Support Contractors (TSC) appointed on Lot 2 of its Technical Support Framework.

ONR requires a TSC who can provide technical support to the ONR research project with regard to HEPA filter ageing and degradation. The work shall be delivered through a phased approach as it is recognised that the output of each phase may result in scope changes.

Phase 1 - Research review: determine development in the causes of HEPA filter ageing and degradation.

Phase 2 - Research review: determine developments in HEPA filter mechanical resilience/robustness.

Phase 3 - Design/technology study of in-situ testing methods of HEPA filter mechanical integrity.
