The installation
Treco relocated a redundant biomass boiler from a site near Leominster to it's new home in the Midlands, where it has a new lease for life operating as a Waste to Energy system. Here waste wood produced on site is used to feed the boiler to provide heating to the 150,000 ft2 factory.
Along with the biomass boiler our scope of works included; full plantroom installation, 750kW duty assist gas boiler, downstream heating system with 1.4MW of emitters, ceramic filter to keep particulate matter emissions to the lowest possible level, a 73m3 silo to store the waste wood prior to use, and a shredder.
Through the RHI payments alone the whole project will likely be paid off in approximately 5 years, though with the fuel and disposal savings factored in it will see this period reduce.
By utilising their own waste wood its estimated that the company will save 1,400 tonnes of CO₂ per annum, helping them to progress towards achieving goals set out in their Environmental & Sustainability Policy.
