What the buyer is looking for

Campus Vesta, the autonomous provincial company that organizes the training for the emergency services of the province of Antwerp, wants to have a training location for combating hydrogen incidents installed on its domain in Emblem (Ranst). The tender specifications relate to the supply, installation and placing in service of this installation, which consists of three parts: • A demo set-up that allows the safe and controlled demonstration of a horizontal and vertical hydrogen flame at higher pressure (8 bar); • Digital control, ignition and protection, preferably with remote control, that can run on both hydrogen and natural gas; • Industrial leak scenarios (flange, valve, pipe) in the pipe moat and possibly in the warehouse and pump park.
