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. 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.
