3808/JN - Flue Gas/CO2 Scrubbing and Conditioning System (16 Lots)

Description

With co-funding from the European Regional Development Fund and BEIS, the University of Sheffield is establishing a national Translational Energy Research Centre (TERC) as an integrated multi-technology, pilotscale R&D platform for low-carbon technologies including hydrogen, bioenergy (BE), and Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS). Site equipment includes a Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell (MCFC) which forms part of a Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage/Utilisation (BECCS) system. This tender covers the scrubbing and conditioning of biomass boiler flue gas (as well as synthetic/semi-synthetic flue gas) to meet stringent purity requirements of the MCFC. It also covers fuel feed to the Anode side of the MCFC. S-containing impurities as well as compounds containing halogens (e.g., HCl), As, Se and P must be scrubbed to low ppb levels to prevent poisoning of the plant catalyst. Lot 1: Flue gas probe, cathode inlet mixing valve, O2 feed in skid (a-c) To monitor flue gas quality for excessive CO and low O2 using an in-situ probe and to bleed in air to maintain required O2 levels or to divert from flue gas supply to air in case of combustion problems, whereby the divertor valve or a combination of a divertor and bleed valve is/are sized for an air bleed of ~1-60Nm3/h) and full air bypass up to 264N/m3.
