Wakefield Waste-To-Energy Plant Opts For High Integrity Lipp Spiral Seam Tanks For Liquid Storage And Anaerobic Digesters
Lipp Systems UK has recently installed six new spiral seam tanks at a new bio-energy plant development in Wakefield, Yorkshire. These include three large 1,340m2 capacity anaerobic digestion tanks, an aeration tank, a buffer tank and finally a water processing tank. Chosen for unrivalled reliability, ease of construction and maximum safety – the new containers aim to produce enough biogas to power 3000 local homes. As a by-product the syste...
Biogas plant provides efficient power & heating
In January 2015, WELTEC BIOPOWER started building an anaerobic digestion plant in Loughgall, Northern Ireland. The customer and operator of the 500kW plant is the vegetable producer Gilfresh Produce, which grows various products and processes them into food. The plant is set to reduce the amount of wastage incurred on the site, as well as generate energy to be used in production and to be fed back to the grid.
