Description of the procurement

Framework agreement for the supply of Catalyst Regeneration services to ESB Moneypoint to cover the years 2017 to 2019 inclusive. ESB Moneypoint has 3x 285MWe coal fired boilers, each equipped with a high dust SCR plant. There are two SCR reactors per unit which are situated between the economiser and the airheaters. Each Reactor (known as A and B)has three layers of honeycomb catalyst currently installed (Layer 1, 2 and 3), with each Reactor Layer made up of 42 individual catalyst modules comprising a total
catalyst volume of approx. 78m^3.
In the period from 2017-2019, ESB foresee a requirement to commence a regeneration program of several of the existing SCR Catalyst Layers. Although each year’s scope cannot be guaranteed as it will be dependent on annual budgets and internal ESB strategy, it is expected that at least one full Catalyst Layer, 156m^3 (78m^3 from Reactor A and 78m^3 from Reactor B) would be regenerated each year for which the contract applies. As such a Framework Agreement is required for the 3 years, to cover the catalyst regeneration works,
regardless of the actual number of catalyst layers which will be regenerated. Inaddition to the offsite regeneration services, this contract will also involve transport of the aforementioned catalyst modules to and from Moneypoint Power Station to the relevant contractor’s facilities.
ESB Moneypoint Generating Station is located in the Shannon estuary in the south west of Ireland, near Kilrush in Co Clare. The site is located on the north bank of the River Shannon, 5 km east of Kilrush. Access is available to the site by road or by sea. The port of Dublin is 265 km distant, the port of Cork is 210 km distant and the port of Limerick is 85 km distant.
