Scope

To supply, install and commission an Eaton xEnergy 3200A Main LV Switchboard incorporating  integral 250kVAR detuned PFC

Project

The project is a brand new waste treatment facility, which will separate recyclable materials from household waste and generate green electricity at the same time.

The plant will use DONG Energy's patented REnescience technology and will be the first full-scale bio plant in the world capable of handling household waste through enzymes, mechanical sorting and anaerobic digestion.

REnescience is a safe, reliable technology that does not involve waste incineration. It uses enzymes, mechanical sorting and anaerobic digestion to produce biogas and generate approximately 5 MW of renewable electricity, as well as clean recyclable materials and other products.

The plant will treat up to 120,000 tonnes of waste per year equivalent to the waste from approximately 110,000 UK homes. The technology is very efficient at capturing organic materials and can help to increase recycling rates by extracting clean materials such as plastic bottles.
