Short description

Researchers within Trinity College Dublin have developed and designed the Carbon Impact system, a device that captures carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air using a high performance adsorbent, in a Temperature Vacuum Swing Adsorption (TVSA) process. A full design has been developed in a previous project and the team is now looking for a supplier to build the system. Trinity College Dublin is therefore seeking a suitable mechanical engineering contractor (hereafter MEC) that can facilitate the building of the system.
Expressions of interest are requested for the supply of a Direct Air Capture industrial prototype to Trinity College Dublin for a consortium led by Trinity College Dublin. It is expected that the supply of the capture device will be provided by, or managed by, a single vendor. The initial expenditure is valued at 200,000 Ex VAT but Trinity anticipates the overall contract value, including extensions, may reach 250,000 Ex VAT.

Description of the procurement

Researchers within Trinity College Dublin have developed and designed the Carbon Impact system, a device that captures carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air using a high performance adsorbent, optimised within Trinity College Dublin, in a Temperature Vacuum Swing Adsorption (TVSA) process. The device is constituted by a vacuum vessel which holds patented internal cartridges.
A full design has been developed in a previous project and the team is now looking for a supplier to build the system. Trinity College Dublin is therefore seeking a suitable mechanical engineering contractor (hereafter MEC) that can facilitate the building of the system.
Expressions of interest are requested for the supply of a Direct Air Capture industrial prototype to Trinity College Dublin for a consortium led by Trinity College Dublin.
