Summary
A Biomass Waste EFW facility focused on processing up to 140,000 tonnes per annum of 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 Poultry Litter fuelled power station in the world and has been generating power since 1992 i.e. for over 20 years[1].
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 450o to a steam turbine for power production[2].
Tonnage Input/Fuel
The tonnage received by the plant is a mixture of Biomass and in the most recent Annual Sustainability Report for 2018-19[3] Ofgem reported the following fuel received (Wood Waste representing 41% of input):
| Biomass | Tonnage (2018-19) |
|---|---|
| Wood Waste | 52,503 |
| Animal Bedding (Poultry Litter) | 72,875 |
| Other | 2,512 |
| Total | 127,890 |
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.
