Introduction: 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.

Objectives: • Identify CADENT's 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.
