| Objectives | The supplier will conduct a technology identification study for methods use by other industries that could be quickly developed and demonstrated for a range of preheating scenarios on the Cadent network. WP1• Site visit(s) to see the existing water bath heaters and speak directly to maintenance or engineering staff about the issues associated with the current process.• Review of existing documentation on work to date in developing preheating solutions.WP2• Research of available heating solutions in industry and identification of concepts that might be applicable to preheating gas for CADENTs various scenarios.• Develop a solution matrix to prioritise concepts or technologies against the identified Cadent scenarios and requirements.WP3• The supplier will host a workshop with key personnel from Cadent to present findings and establish plan for progressing further development of each preferred solution.• Produce report to capture the work conducted throughout the project. The report is to include:o Development plan/roadmap on how technologies are to be further developed. o The success criteria of the project. o Assessment on how the project performed compared to the original project aims, objectives and success criteria. o Recorded description of any required modifications to the planned approach during the course of the project.o Lessons learnt for future projects. o Summary of the outcomes of the project. • Identify CADENTs current preheating scenarios and the requirements for each.• Review documentation from CADENT on preheating systems trialled to date.• Review NIA documentation on preheat systems trialled to date.• Research of available heating solutions in other industries — identify concepts that might be applicable to preheating at Cadent network.• Prioritise preferred solutions for each preheating scenario for further development and, identify any gaps in a solution matrix.• Plan for progressing further development of each preferred solution. | |
