A [[Biomass Waste EFW]] facility [[Eye Power Station]] is focused on processing up to 140,000 tonnes per annum of [[Agricultural Waste|Poultry Litter]] but is capable of co-firing other [[Biomass]], including a high proportion of [[Wood Waste]] in recent years, to generate up to 17MWe.

==Summary==

A [[Biomass Waste EFW]] facility focused on processing up to 140,000 tonnes per annum of [[Agricultural Waste|Poultry Litter]] but is capable of co-firing other [[Biomass]], including a high proportion of [[Wood Waste]] in recent years, to generate up to 17MWe. The owner, [[Melton Renewable Energy Ltd]] claims that this plant is the first [[Agricultural Waste|Poultry Litter]] fuelled power station in the world and has been generating power since 1992 i.e. for over 20 years<ref>https://www.mreuk.com/eye</ref>.

==Plant==

Built and commissioned in 1992, the plant was converted with assistance from [[K.E.M]] in 2017 to add fuel flexibility to enable it to receive [[Wood Waste]]. The conversion comprised fuel feeding, combustion grate system and slag transport system - the boiler supplies 58tonnes/hour of steam at 66 bar(g) and 450<sup>o</sup> to a steam turbine for power production<ref>[https://www.kem.dk/cases/eye-power-station-uk/ KEM Website]</ref>.

The [[Wood Waste]] is received from a variety of sources. The [[Wood Waste]] tonnage received cannot be directly compared with the stated historical tonnage received and recorded in the [[EA]] statistics as these are recorded on a calendar year basis (i.e. January 2018 to December 2018) and were '''43,573''' tonnes.
