The objective is to take to commercial prototype an anaerobic digestion facility on a 1.5 hectare tomato greenhouse site. This will process organic (food processors) landfill waste and produce biogas for fuelling an exisitng 0.6MW(e) micro-gas turbine CHP installation. It will involve 3 elements. (1) Construction, comprising reception tank, multiple cell digestor with associated fluid transfer and gas storage / cleaning / monitoring equipment. This will be developing further the work undertaken at the AMEC site at Wirral. (2) Monitoring and alterations to turbine combustor. Exhaust gas quality from the CHP units is critical, and will be monitored and variations made to combustion chambers on turbines to ensure suitability for aiding plant growth (NOx and ethelene principally). This willl develop further the work undertaken by NuEnCo on landfill gas fuelling of turbines. (3) Development of operational and management protocols and controls.
