Aalborg Energie Technik (AET) has been awarded an engineer, procure and construct (EPC) contract by JG Pears Power Ltd for a biomass combined heat and power (CHP) plant in the UK.
Celebrating two decades of business, Danish biomass boiler plant suppliers Aalborg Energie Technik a/s has announced it has been awarded an engineer, procure and construct (EPC) contract by JG Pears Power Ltd for a biomass combined heat and power (CHP) plant in the UK. To be built in near Newark in Nottinghamshire, the 42 MWth and 12 MWe CHP will be sited adjacent to JG Pears animal rendering facility at Low Marnham. Meat and bone meal (MBM), a by-product of the rendering process will be used as fuel and the CHP will supply steam and electricity to the rendering facility with excess power exported to the grid.
The scope of supply will include all elements of the CHP, such as the fuel storage, fuel handling and feeding system, AET Combustion System and AET Biomass Boiler, steam turbine, air cooled condenser, flue gas cleaning system, PLC control, SCADA system and buildings. The plant will be equipped with an efficient SCR system to ensure low emission levels.
Handover is expected to take place in early 2018. It is expected that the CHP will displace over 90 percent of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) currently used at the rendering plant. The rendering plant will use around 2 MW electricity from the CHP with the excess exported to the grid.
