Industrial gases

Tender description

Notification of award of the following: Thames Water Utilities wish to award for the supply of industrial gases to be used in the treatment of clean water treatment, wastewater treatment and in the testing and analysis of water quality using laboratory gases. Thames Water Utilities wish to award for the supply of industrial gases to be used in the treatment of clean water treatment, wastewater treatment and in the testing and analysis of water quality using laboratory gases. Industrial gases are used for clean water and sewage treatment to ensure water is purified and safe to use, and in laboratories for running of instruments which are then used for the processing of samples taken in response to the statutory and regulatory programme. Amongst others, the main industrial gases will be required are: — chlorine (only in cylinders), — sulphur (sulfur *) dioxide (in drums and cylinders), — ammonia (in drums and cylinders), — oxygen (only in cylinders), — acetylene (only in cylinders), — argon (only in cylinders), — carbon dioxide (only in cylinders), — cryogenic nitrogen (bulk delivery into tank), — cryogenic argon (bulk delivery into tank), — oxygen free nitrogen (only in cylinders), — helium (only in cylinders), — hydrogen (only in cylinders), — methane (only in cylinders), — carbon dioxide (only in cylinders), — argon 10 % methane (only in cylinders). Only, sulphur dioxide and ammonia are required in drums as well as cylinders, all other gases are required in cylinders. In addition to the gases above and other gases used in the small quantities. Special gases (cryogenic nitrogen, hydrogen, helium and argon/methane (10 %) mixture) are used in the laboratory for the running of instruments which are then used for the processing of samples taken in response to the statutory and regulatory programme. These samples provide results which allow us to prove to government regulators and customers that we are meeting strict obligations. Laboratory also receives weekly deliveries of cryogenic argon and cryogenic nitrogen into tanks.
