Section two: Object
two.1) Scope of the procurement
two.1.1) Title
Hydrogen Gas Generator System (MOVPE Reactors)
Reference number
3577/DM/22
two.1.2) Main CPV code
- 42000000 - Industrial machinery
two.1.3) Type of contract
Supplies
two.1.4) Short description
The requirement is for a high purity Hydrogen Gas generation system capable of producing a stable and uninterrupted flow of high purity hydrogen gas to multiple MOVPE reactors in a semiconductor manufacturing facility.
An uninterrupted supply of hydrogen is essential to maintain the production capacity of the facility and the condition of the reactors. Reliability of hydrogen supply and availability of spares over a protracted life is crucial. The system provides hydrogen to semiconductor epitaxy reactors for 8 hours per day, 9-5, Monday to Friday. Outside these operating hours the system provides a lower rate of hydrogen to maintain conditions within the reactors. The system must be able to supply a variable flow-rate dependent on the number of reactors in operation and must be able to react rapidly to increased demand.
