Description

The core objective of the project this equipment will facilitate is to establish the fundamental science component of a new Power-to-Liquids facility at the University of St Andrews' Eden campus. To achieve this, we seek to procure via this Procurement exercise: (i) a high-throughput catalyst screening unit for the accelerated development of Power-to-Liquids processes, (ii) a scaled-up reactor unit that integrates electrolysis and synthesis steps to enable innovative Power-to-liquids research Future exercises are anticipated to procure a 2D-Gas Chromatograph, for the characterisation of complex liquid products, and two refinery gas analysers to be integrated into the reactor units. The facility will enable world-leading research into Power-to-Liquids concepts with the following main objectives: - To open new research avenues into the electrification of chemical processes via the integration of electrolysis with downstream chemical synthesis. - To increase productivity and accelerate d…
