Tetronics Ltd, a global leader in the supply of direct current plasma waste recovery plants for the treatment of hazardous waste and metal recovery, has been selected by Peterborough Renewable Energy Ltd to provide the plasma technology for Energy Park Peterborough, the first sustainable biomass power plant of its kind in the UK.
Swindon-based Tetronics has the technology to turn the Air Pollution Control residue generated from the Biomass Power Plant into bricks and tiles for the building industry, thereby ensuring close to zero residues need to be land-filled.
Energy Park Peterborough, which was granted consent by the Government Department for Energy and Climate Change in November last year, will take in mixed waste and – through a combination of recycling, gasification and plasma-enhanced waste recovery – recycle and remanufacture it, producing reusable products and renewable energy in the process.
Energy Park Peterborough alone will save 600,000 tonnes of CO2 per year, create over 100 green collar jobs in the local community and produce enough renewable energy to power 60,000 homes.
