Using waste wood material
from waste recycling sites and construction, industrial and demolition projects to get energy. That’s the experience of Uniconfort, who has installed a big cogeneration plant starting from this waste in UK.
The Company is one of the largest wood recyclers in southern England.
They process around 65,000 tons of wood waste every year. This material originates from both commercial and municipal sources. The English Company had the brilliant idea to use the same material to feed the boiler which produce Diathermic Oil for the cogeneration plant and so to produce the electricity and the heat for its processes.
The Plant is WID Compliant
(Waste Incineration Directive): the strict EU Directive aim is to prevent or to reduce as far as possible the negative effects on the environment caused by the incineration of waste. In particular, it should reduce pollution caused by emissions, and thus lessen the risks which these pose to human health.
The Cogeneration Plant produces CLEAN, GREEN and RENEWABLE ENERGY
used to power on-site equipment and, at the same time, it replaces the fossil fuels that were used for many years. The heat is also used on-site to treat organic waste. The WID Compliant Plant have to follow the English Waste Incineration Directive, and this means:
- To have an auxiliary burner to maintain the combustion temperature above 850°C ;
- To have smokes resident time more than 2 seconds minimum ;
- To respect low emissions level.
To provide a supplementary support to the Client, Uniconfort has been available to contribute to the HAZOP Analysis (HAZard and OPerability Analysis).
