01What is being requested
Delivery of a new high-throughput fixed-bed reactor unit for the catalytic conversion of CO2, CO and H2. The unit must consist of four parallel reactors suitable for various applications such as methanol and Fischer–Tropsch synthesis, including integrated software for process control and data analysis.
The University of Groningen (hereinafter: the UG) intends to purchase a new high-throughput fixed-bed reactor unit for the catalytic conversion of CO2, CO and H2 to chemicals and fuels. The unit must support applications including reverse water gas shift, methanol synthesis, dimethyl ether synthesis, and Fischer–Tropsch synthesis. It must comprise four parallel reactors capable of operating over a wide range of temperatures, pressures, and flow rates under isothermal and isobaric conditions. The system must incorporate comprehensive safety features, including gas leak detection and automated s
02Strategic insight
If you can meet the technical requirements, you must respond to this market consultation before 13 May 2026 to challenge the current single supplier status of the intended supplier. When responding, focus specifically on the four parallel reactors and the integrated software for process control and data integration.
