## Summary

Swansea University awarded a contract for the Supply of Mass Spectrometer to Thermo Onix Ltd. The project aims to develop a cost-effective pressure swing adsorption process for CO2 separation from complex industrial gas mixtures. The mass spectrometer will be used to analyse gas mixtures involving nitrogen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, oxygen, water, nitrous oxide, sulphur oxides, methane, ethane, ethylene, etc. The instrument will have low detection limits for gases to optimize the operation of the PSA unit.

This opportunity is ideal for businesses supplying analytical instruments and equipment. Companies specialising in mass spectrometry technology and gas analysis solutions would be well-suited to compete. The procurement process has already reached the award stage, giving businesses the chance to explore potential collaboration with Swansea University in advancing environmental sustainability initiatives through innovative gas separation technologies.

## Notice

The Reduced Industrial Carbon Emissions (RICE) project at Swansea University is looking to develop a cost-effective pressure swing adsorption (PSA) process for CO2 separation from complex industrial gas mixtures. To implement this effort the procurement of a mass spectrometer is essential to perform analysis of input, transient and output gas mixtures involved in the overall operation of the PSA unit.The mass spectrometer is required to perform quantitative and qualitative analysis of gas mixtures comprised of nitrogen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, oxygen, water, nitrous oxide, sulphur oxides, methane, ethane, ethylene, etc. These gas mixtures will be sampled from the PSA unit and the mass spectrometer will be delivered to Swansea University Bay Campus.The mass spectrometer will allow the simultaneous analysis of gas mixtures containing N2, CO2, CO, O2, H2, H2O, NOx, SOx, CH4, C2H6, propane and butane. The instrument will be sensitive to low concentrations of CO and N2 in a CO2 enriched gas flow. The instrument will exhibit low detection limit for the above mentioned gases in order to characterise and optimise the operation of the PSA unit. The instrument will allow fast and precise analysis of gas compositions in order to study details of separation kinetics.
