two.1.4) Short description

This tender is for equipment to enable the capture, purification, compression, and storage of hydrogen rich gas from process equipment or hydrogen generation equipment, and feed-in of this to the existing hydrogen delivery network at the Institute to demonstrate industrial uses. It should include technology recommendations, design, supply, install and commission capable of supporting the Institute's project requirements. The tender will be split into two Lots:

Lot1 - gas conditioning unit

The Institute is developing or assessing different methods to produce green hydrogen. It is expected that different processes will produce gas mixtures containing hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and moisture or hydrogen, nitrogen, and ammonia. The gas streams may also contain some fine particulate. Tenders are invited to provide turnkey gas conditioning unit prior to the compression and storage of the collected gases.

Lot2 - Compression unit

The system will require a compressor capable of compressing dry gases: pure and mixed hydrogen, CO, CO2, NH3 prior to their storage. The suction pressure is from 1 to 5 bars and the delivered pressure up to 300 bars.  

All and every service and utility needed to fully run the enhanced pilot must be identified within the bid, and typical floor space required for adequate installation and operation. Please give the exact requirements of the following elements plus any other relevant services: 

Equipment electrical rating and loadings 

Gas requirements, which gas(es) and typical run quantities 

Compressed air requirements, pressures, volumes and condition (Pressure systems)  

Drainage and water supply provision 

LEV extract requirements (ATEX ratings etc)  

Fresh air supply needs 

Every and all other required services should also be stated 

Installation footprint 

Weight of installation and if required, any possible point load issues 

I.T. requirements and connections 

Lighting requirements 

Lead in times, install programme and commissioning schedule
