Description

With co-funding from the European Regional Development Fund, the University of Sheffield is establishing a flagship national Translational Energy Research Centre (TERC) to provide a multi technology, integrated research and development platform, focusing on low-carbon energy generation and carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) technologies. This tender document is specifically focused on the procurement of equipment to extend the capability of an existing biomass boiler to support waste-to energy (WtE) combustion. At present, we have a Gilles-HPKI-R 240 kWth grate boiler that can fire a range of chipped biomass fuels. The aim is to expand the capability of this system to a WTE boiler to enable the combustion of a wider range of fuels, including drier pelletised fuels, as well as fuels that are classed as 'clean waste', including:

- vegetable waste from agriculture or forestry,
- vegetable waste from the food processing industry,
- untreated non-hazardous wood waste (formerly known as Grade A recycled wood)

The new WTE system will provide a demonstrator of low-carbon technologies and to support a wide range of research activities.

The overall specification is divided into 3 parts to be awarded as one contract:

Part 1: Fuel silo and conveying system;

Part 2: High-efficiency electrostatic precipitator (ESP);

Part 3: Flue gas stack with flue gas extraction.

Suppliers are requested to offer a complete solution in their return, including offers to all 3 parts of the tender.
