Laboratory scale hydrogen membrane separation unit

The University of Oulu needs a compact laboratory-scale hydrogen membrane separation and characterization system for research activities related to hydrogen purification, gas separation processes, and membrane performance evaluation. The system, which should be delivered as a complete turnkey solution including hardware, software, documentation, commissioning, and training, must be suitable for installation and operation inside a laboratory fume hood with active ventilation of 0.3 m/s. It should support flexible research by enabling precise control of gas composition, flow, and pressure, provide reliable and reproducible experimental data, and facilitate membrane separation experiments, integrity verification, and safe operation with hydrogen-containing gas mixtures. The system must also have automated monitoring, process control, and data acquisition capabilities, and be designed for future integration of external equipment like humidification and vacuum systems. The maximum total value for the system, including all mandatory features, cannot exceed 100,000 Euros (0% VAT). The project is co-funded by the EU Just Transition Fund (JTF) and the Council of Oulu region, and the procurement is conditional upon the receipt of external funding. The contract duration is 6 months.

Continuous-wave (CW) laser source and an optical system for preheating materials used in metal additive manufacturing

The University of Turku needs a continuous-wave (CW) laser source and an optical system for preheating materials used in metal additive manufacturing, with a maximum total value of 80,000 EUR over 2 years. The University of Turku will be responsible for integrating the device and for the associated research processes. The project location is Varsinais-Suomi. The award criterion is price (100%).

Radioanalytical pyrolyser / sample combustion system for extraction of volatile radionuclides

The University of Helsinki needs a radioanalytical pyrolyser/sample combustion system for a 12-month contract to prepare environmental, decommissioning, and radioactive-waste related samples for the determination of volatile radionuclides, specifically H-3 and C-14, and preferably also Cl-36 and I-129. The system should be capable of processing at least 6 samples per working day, with the ability to handle larger sample masses or combine multiple preparations for low-activity samples. The award criteria are Price (50%) and Quality (50%).

Helium Refrigeration System (HRS) for Isotope Separation System (ISS) of ITER Fuel Cycle

The European Joint Undertaking for ITER and the Development of Fusion Energy ('Fusion for Energy') en España necesita el diseño, fabricación, montaje, pruebas de aceptación en fábrica, transporte y entrega de un Sistema de Refrigeración de Helio (HRS) para el Sistema de Separación de Isótopos (ISS) dentro de la Planta de Tritio en ITER, basado en tecnología Reversed Turbo-Brayton. El HRS suministrará una potencia de enfriamiento neta de aproximadamente 1500 W a 18.5 K para el ISS de la Planta de Tritio de ITER. El contrato tiene una duración de 60 meses y un valor máximo total de 9.300.000 EUR. La evaluación de las ofertas se basará en el precio (50%) y la propuesta técnica (50%).

THz measurement system

The University of Oulu in Finland needs a new terahertz spectroscopy and imaging system for its AEC / MIC unit, with a maximum total value of 150,000 euros (excluding VAT). This system, intended for research use, will complement existing infrastructure by providing a non-contact electromagnetic characterization method for the sub-THz/THz frequency range, allowing for the analysis of materials, coatings, printed structures, composites, and ceramics without damaging samples. The measurable quantities include the amplitude and phase of transmitted radiation and the derived absorption coefficient. The contract duration is 6 months. The sole award criterion is the total price.
