Laboratory scale hydrogen membrane separation unit

… separation experiments, membrane integrity verification and safe operation with hydrogen-containing gas mixtures. Automated monitoring, process control and data acquisition capabilities shall be provided to support efficient experimental execution and research data analysis. The equipment shall be delivered as a complete turnkey solution including all necessary hardware, software, technical documentation, commissioning and operator training. The software environment shall provide an intuitive graphical user interface for experiment configuration, real-time process monitoring, automated data logging and export of experimental results. The proposed solution shall be designed to facilitate future integration of externally connected equipment, including but not limited to humidification systems and vacuum systems, without requiring major modifications to the core system architecture. Preference is given to modular and configurable systems that provide a high degree of automation, operational flexibility and reproducibility of experimental results. The project is co-funded by the EU Just Transition Fund (JTF). Council of Oulu region is the project's main funder. The procurement is conditional upon the receipt of external funding. If the funding is not obtained or is withdrawn, the Contracting Authority reserves the right to suspend or cancel the procurement procedure without awarding a contract. Please note that the total amount of system can not exceed 100 000 euros (0% VAT) including all mandatory features. Contracting authority can not accept tenders that exceed this amount. Optional features does not include to this total price. Previous call for tenders has been suspended. This call for tender replaces it.

In the event of any differences of interpretation, the original English text shall prevail. The University of Oulu is looking for a compact laboratory-scale hydrogen membrane separation and characterisation system for research activities related to hydrogen purification, gas separation processes and membrane performance evaluation. The system is used for experimental research of membrane technologies under controlled operating conditions using both single gas streams and gas mixtures. The equipment must be suitable for installation and use inside the laboratory cabinet, and its space requirement must be compact and compatible with the available installation space. The fume cupboard is equipped with active ventilation with a speed of 0.3 m/s. The system should support flexible research by enabling accurate control of gas composition, flow and pressure, and by producing reliable and reproducible experimental data. The equipment must enable membrane separation tests, verification of membrane performance and safe operation
