Environ were asked by Mr. Mike Harrison of Vantage Farm to offer Design Procurement, Installation and Commissioning services for a poultry litter combustion system, whereby, poultry litter is combusted delivering hot water to supplement heating loads to the chicken sheds and electrical power generation for site loads or potentially export excess power to the grid.
The site has 6 chicken sheds which houses 350,000 chickens at a time and the project not only provides heat and power it solves the issue of having to remove the chicken litter from site which further reduces business costs. Environ installed the following equipment to the farm: Uniconfort Global 90 Chicken litter Combustor Emissions Abatement Equipment Triogen ORC Combined Heat and Power unit and associated clean air heat exchanger KMH Top-Loaders litter feed system.
The Arora Group operate a number of hotels and recently replaced an old gas fired CHP unit at the Heathrow Sofitel with 2 new CHP gensets. The high base load of heating and power for hotels makes them ideal for gas fired CHP installations.
The project has delivered immediate benefits in operating costs for the hotel as well as improving the energy efficiency and carbon footprint of the site.
Environ provided a turnkey project including the removal of the existing unit and the delivery and installation of the new CHP engines on the roof.
After carrying out a comprehensive feasibility study and survey, Environ selected 2 smaller engines, replacing one larger one and completed the packaging of the CHP gensets at our engineering facility. We also carried out the full installation and integration with the hotel’s heating and power distribution networks. The installation of 2 engines also improves the availability of the energy to the site as one engine can be off-line for servicing while the other maintains full output.
R & L Holts tomato growers commissioned “The Glass House Project” in late 2016 to integrate a steam expander generator to an existing Biomass boiler to provide a combined heat & power (CHP) facility.
The steam expander supplies hot water for the glass house heating system and to offset electrical site loads and export extra electricity to the national grid. R & L Holts testimonial ‘Environ a very reliable & highly recommended company to provide a CHP facility’
John & Michael Boyes of Strathmore Renewables Ltd approached Environ as they wished to combust virgin woodchip and utilising the resultant steam this to generate an eco friendly/paper pulp woodchip heating system – providing hot water and heating from chips normally put into landfill sites. The scope of the project was to put in a Schmidt SDK 1.6t/h steam biomass boiler to raise steam and deliver it to a steam expander Genset.
The expanded steam pass through a twin rotor set driving a generator that produces 93.05kW gross electrical power for export to the National Grid. The steam is passed to a condensing heat exchanger which in turn provides hot air for a New–Eco-Tech belt drier.
