May Gurney have been working in partnership with local firm Severn Trent Water to pioneer the latest in anaerobic digestion technology at sites in Shropshire. The technology is a cost effective means of harnessing previous untapped energy from the sewage and using the renewable biogas generated to fuel combined heat and power plants.
They have installed improved Anaerobic Digestion technology at three Severn Trent Water sites, Coalport, near Telford, Monkmoor in Shrewsbury and Newtown just across the border in Powys to enhance gas yields.
At Coalport alone, the digesters produce an average of 2,640 cubic metres of biogas per day – enough to power the on site CHP units which generate electricity to run the site as well as the heat to operate the boilers and perpetuate the digestion process.
Severn Trent is progressing with its investment programme to further develop greener energy having set itself the target of almost doubling self-generation from renewable resources to 30% of its total energy use by 2013, Severn Trent has clear plans to develop usage of existing technologies as well as introduce new and upcoming technologies.
