What is being bought

Published requirement description

The design, supply, and installation of modifications to our existing Natural Gas Roller Hearth Tile Kiln. Our organisation intends to transition the kiln to operate on 100% hydrogen, whist retaining the existing natural gas combustion system and ensuring its safe and efficient operation. The kiln therefore requires the parallel installation of 100% hydrogen rated burners.
