Section two: Object

two.1) Scope of the procurement

two.1.1) Title

Exhaust and Inflame Gas Analyser (3 Lots)

Reference number

3461/DM

two.1.2) Main CPV code

  • 38434000 - Analysers

two.1.3) Type of contract

Supplies

two.1.4) Short description

To support overall fundamental and applied research activity, proposals are requested for a

gas analysis system for exhaust and inflame gas composition measurements to be utilised

across all combustion facilities on site as well as potentially other offsite facilities.

This requirement is divided into 3 individual Lots.

● LOT 1: Focuses on standard combustion gases and inflame measurements

● LOT 2: Covers additional requirements for hydrogen and methane analysis for process gas

● LOT 3: Covers ultra low level (ppb) trace gas analysis of sulphur compounds in natural gas, CO2 stream or flue gas

two.1.6) Information about lots

This contract is divided into lots: Yes

two.1.7) Total value of the procurement (excluding VAT)

Value excluding VAT: £280,000

two.2.4) Description of the procurement

To support overall fundamental and applied research activity, proposals are requested for a gas analysis system for exhaust and inflame gas composition measurements to be utilised across all combustion facilities on site as well as potentially other offsite facilities.

The tender is divided into separate Lots:

● LOT 1: Focuses on standard combustion gases and inflame measurements (ideally including space for additional analyser under Lot 2 and Lot 3). The system needs to be able to measure gases according to 'Table 2.1 - LOT 1 gas analysers required'

● LOT 2: Covers additional requirements for hydrogen and methane analysis for process gas monitoring (as a standalone analyser or integrated into LOT 1). With gas concentration

encountered summarised in "Table 2.2. Approximate gas compositions encountered on site (typically values/upper ranges)" in the light blue boxes.

● LOT 3: Covers ultra low level (ppb) trace gas analysis of sulphur compounds in natural gas, CO2 stream or flue gas, to include at the lowest range approximately 0-50ppb (as a standalone analyser or integrated into LOT 1 or LOT 2).

The purpose of this analyser is process monitoring of MCFC feed gas quality. The species of interests include SO2 (essential requirement), and it is an advantage if it can also measure

other sulphur containing compounds such as: H2S, COS, CS2.

With gas concentration encountered summarised in "Table 2.2. Approximate gas compositions encountered on site (typically values/upper ranges)" in the light blue boxes

The purpose of this analyser is process monitoring of MCFC feed gas quality. The species of interests include SO2 (essential requirement), and it is an advantage if it can also measure
