The state-of-the-art clean burn solution will enable Twinwoods Heat & Power to finalise development of their 3.4MWe waste wood biomass power station, which is expected to go live in 2015.
The combined heat and power (CHP) plant will produce over 27,000 MWhr of electricity and 8,000 MWhr district heating annually, establishing the plant as a locally important source of renewable energy, with significant advantages to the local community.
The Industrial Emissions Directive (IED) compliant solution will burn approximately 40,000 tonnes of waste wood from commercial and domestic recycling centres per annum, a fuel source that would otherwise be sent to landfill or exported.
Marcus Buckle, CEO of Twinwoods Heat & Power Limited, said: “I am confident that the new Power Station will become an important contributor to the local community in terms of new jobs created, energy produced and the volume of waste wood the plant will divert from landfill each year.”
Under the contract Saxlund will manage all aspects of design, manufacture, installation and commissioning of the plant with a biomass solution guaranteed to deliver at least 8,000 hours operation between shutdown inspections, to provide total piece of mind.
