Waste incinerators

Tender 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 RD and D platform, focusing on low carbon energy generation and CCUS (Carbon Dioxide Capture Utilisation/Storage) technologies, integrated together with a smart energy management system. This tender is specifically focused on the procurement of a waste to energy (WTE) Boiler that is able to burn a range of waste-derived fuels, such as woodworking, agricultural and/or food wastes, as well as various grades of recycled biomass products and potentially RDF or other MSW-derived fuels. 2 lots: Lot 1: Waste to Energy Boiler 150-225 kWth; Lot 2: Waste to Energy Boiler 226-300 KWth. Please note that only one lot will be awarded for this tender. Lot 1: Waste to energy boiler 150-225 kWth. 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 RD and D platform, focusing on low carbon energy generation and CCUS (Carbon Dioxide Capture Utilisation/Storage) technologies, integrated together with a smart energy management system. The centre will promote and support research, innovation and the demonstration of individual and integrated technologies with the purpose of encouraging and accelerating technology development, validation and demonstration and ultimately technology commercialisation and uptake. Part of the centre’s remit is also to explore how different technologies can be combined into integrated systems in the most effective and complementary manner. To establish the centre, the University of Sheffield is looking to procure a wide range of equipment focusing on bioenergy, renewable energy and CCUS technologies. This tender document is specifically focused on the procurement of a waste to energy (WTE) Boiler that is able to burn a range of waste-derived fuels, such as woodworking, agricultural and/or food wastes, as well as various grades of recycled biomass products and potentially RDF or other MSW-derived fuels. The research is focused in short (typically 12 hr, up to max 50 hr) campaigns with intermittent operation and we plan to use the Environment Agency’s 50 t/yr exemption from WID rules provided for small research facilities. This tender opportunity relates to a previous PIN notice ref. 2018/S 241-549823 which published on the 14.12.2018 (University ref. 2158/PIN/DM) Lot 2: Waste to energy boiler 226-300 KWth.
