Caythorpe Plant claims World First
12 November 2009
A major milestone in Waste to Energy technology is now claimed by Bioflame on its first operational plant
The judges for the National Recycling Awards can rest easy safe in the knowledge that they have truly recognised a winner. In an area of the market that is littered with technolgy failures and lost investments Bioflame, winner of the NRA Best Technology 2009 award, stands alone as the only technology provider in the sub 5 megawatt space that can prove it's pedigree with hot plant. Bioflame will also now claim to have the world's first self cleaning biomass system and others must now recognise system designer and Bioflame's Technical Director Matthais Grundmann as the leading designer in this technology area. The combustion system combusts at 1100 degrees centigrade and uses it's propriatory intellectual property to ensure it never needs cleaning. We could tell you how we do it but where would be the fun in that?
The Caythorpe plant can also prove impeccable environmental performance having just undergone third party verification of it's stack emission. As an example, NOx emission now runs with no abatement treatment whatsoever more than 75% of the time well under the Waste Incineration Directive (WID) limit. There is a standby Urea injection system that manages the emission level on the odd occasion that the limit is approached keeping within the limit at all times. All other constantly monitored emissions run well under their WID limits - could this also be the cleanest Biomass system on the planet? Time to make WID a bit stricter we think. That should make our competitors sweat a bit.
