Description

The University of Birmingham invites tenders for the supply of an ammonia storage and vaporisation unit capable of supplying ammonia at: • 70kg/hr • 8.0 Barg • ≥25oC The unit is part of a BEIS funded programme to construct an ammonia cracking plant to produce green hydrogen. The Tyseley Ammonia Project will design, build, commission, and operate the world's largest and most efficient ammonia to hydrogen conversion unit, demonstrating 200kg/day production of transport-grade hydrogen. It will be located at Tyseley Energy Park and co-located alongside an existing refuelling station. The hydrogen will be used to refuel local vehicles including 20 fuel cell buses that have been ordered by Birmingham City Council. The ammonia cracker combines decomposition and purification stages into a single, compact unit, with lower operational temperatures due to recent innovations in membrane technology. The project aims to dramatically improve the efficiency and economics of ammonia cracking, accelerate the development of hydrogen solutions in the UK and position the country at the forefront of an emerging global market. The project is led by Gemserv, with partners EQUANS, H2SITE, Storengy, Yara, University of Birmingham and Tyseley Energy Park. The ammonia unit will be integrated into ammonia cracking plant, being provided by other partners with operations being the responsibility of EQUANS. This project may be funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) or; - European Structural and Investment Fund (ESIF) or; - Research Councils UK (RCUK), the strategic partnership of the UK's seven Research Councils.
