Description

The University of Sheffield's Translational Energy Research Centre (TERC) is one of the largest and best-equipped national R&D centres in Europe for zero-carbon energy, hydrogen, bioenergy, and Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS). We are looking to procure a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) pilot plant based on Fischer-Tropsch technology to fulfil two grant funded project headings; Power to Sustainable Fuel Pilot Plant and Methanation Plant (Fischer Tropsch Rig). The plant will be required to produce at least 1.5 litres/h of sustainable aviation fuel to Jet A-1 ASTM specification D1655 (with flash point minimum of 38°C and a freeze point maximum of -47°C). The SAF plant will utilise CO2 extracted from bioenergy exhaust gases and on-site generated green H2 as feedstocks. It will also have the option to use biomass syngas from an onsite gasifier. The tender is for a full turn-key solution including: design, build, installation and commissioning of all elements of the plant from cleaning and preparation of the feed gases, through to conversion of CO2 and H2 to syngas; reaction of the syngas in an FT reactor; and product upgrading steps to achieve the desired product. The selected tenderer will be the Principal Designer and the Principal Contractor for the project with respect to CDM regulations. This tender comprises of 8 individual lots; 1A: Feed gas clan up & conditioning module 1B: Biomass syngas clean up & conditioning module (as add-on to 1A) 2: Reverse Water Gas Shift (RWGS) module 3: Blending skid 4: Fischer-Tropsch reactor 5: Hydrocracking & hydrogeneration reactor 6: Distillation module 7: Online process analyser Further details relating to the overall technical & commercial requirements for the above, can be found within the tender documents.
