SURVEY QUESTIONAIRE AND SCREENING EVALUATIONFOR SUPPLY FOR CATALYST IN 070-HMU (SMR)

Introduction

Nghi Son Refinery & Petrochemical Limited Liability Company (NSRP) is identifying suitable suppliers for the Hydrogen Manufacturing Catalyst suite for Unit 070-HMU. This unit utilizes Foster Wheeler Terrace Wall SMR technology and Pre-reformer technology to produce 145 KTA of high-purity hydrogen.

Operating Context for Bidders: The catalyst suite must be designed to handle three distinct feed cases and maintain performance for a minimum of 48 months:

  – Case 1: CCR Tail Gas + RFG (30–45 wt%) + Balance LPG.

  – Case 2: 100 mol% LPG (98% Butane + 2% Butylene + 100 ppmw Butadiene).

  – Case 3 (Future): CCR Tail Gas + RFG (30–45 wt%) + Balance LNG.

If your company is interested in this procurement package, please fill in and the complete questionnaire below then send email to hieu.nd@nsrp.com.vn  “Response to Questionnaire – Supplying 070-HMU Catalyst” by 21-July-2026 at the latest.

Does your company have experience supplying the full suite of catalysts (HDS, ZnO, DC, Pre-Reformer, SMR, HTS) for Hydrogen Manufacturing Units being compatible with above Feed Cases?

Yes [ ] / No [ ]

QUESTION 4:

Do you have experience of the provision of catalysts for Hydrogen Manufacturing Units involving Terrace Wall SMR technology?

Yes [ ] / No [ ]

If Yes, provide a reference list of at least three (3) projects executed within the last five (5) years involving Terrace Wall SMR technology.

Please include Client and Location/Country, Capacity/Feed, and Startup Year.

If Yes, provide supporting evidence (Performance Test Run reports or Client Testimonials).

PART 3: TECHNICAL ROBUSTNESS & FEEDSTOCK FLEXIBILITY

QUESTION 6:

(HDS & Olefins): Case 2 contains 100 ppmw Butadiene and 2 mol% Butylene. Can your HDS (R-101) catalyst saturate these olefins without premature coking or pressure drop (\Delta P) buildup over 48 months?

Yes [ ] / No [ ]

Please briefly describe your catalyst’s olefin management strategy.

QUESTION 7 (Chlorides):

Given the use of CCR Tail Gas, can your purification system (R-101/R-102) guarantee chloride removal to <0.1 ppmv to protect the downstream Pre-reformer?

Yes [ ] / No [ ]

QUESTION 8 (Pre-Reformer Steaming):

How long does your Pre-reforming catalyst withstand a pure steaming operation (without H_2 circulation) at operating temperature without permanent loss of activity or structural disintegration?

Yes [ provide time duration] / No [ ]

QUESTION 9 (SMR Coking Resistance):

For the FW Terrace Wall Reformer processing 70–100% LPG, do you provide a specialized Alkali-promoted (Potash) catalyst or a specific layered loading strategy to prevent carbon formation in the high-heat flux zones?

Yes [ ] / No [ ]

QUESTION 10 (HTS Hydrocarbon Suppression):

Does your HTS catalyst maintain selectivity and suppress Fischer-Tropsch (FT) byproduct formation during low Steam/Carbon operation or when processing high-CO syngas derived from LPG?

Yes [please advise the lowest S/C ratio in Pre-Reformer and Reformer] / No [ ]

PART 4: TECHNICAL SUPPORT AND WARRANTY

QUESTION 11:

Does your company provide a comprehensive technical support package, including:

 – Kinetic modeling for the transition from LPG to LNG (Case 3)? [ ] Yes / [ ] No

  – On-site loading supervision (Unidense/Spirajet … compatible)? [ ] Yes / [ ] No

  – A performance warranty covering the 48-month life? [ ] Yes / [ ] No

QUESTION 12:

Describe your technical response procedure for a “Sulfur/Chlorides Slip” or “Reformer Hot-Band” emergency. (Maximum 200 words).
