Look What We Are Building

Our latest client. Energos building the Gasification system to supply our company with power.

"The new facility in south Derby is being developed by Derby City and Derbyshire County Councils in partnership with Interserve plc and Shanks Group plc. The waste processing centre will combine recycling capacity with an advanced gasification plant capable of generating power for up to 14,000 homes in the city.

The project is expected to recycle over 35,000 tonnes of rubbish a year while diverting over 170,000 tonnes of waste a year from landfill. The companies also said the project would also result in the employment of 250 people during the 32 month construction phase and create 34 permanent jobs.

UK-based Energos will supply the 12MW gasification system, which will be used to treat municipal waste at ultra-high heats to create a synthetic gas. Advocates of the technology maintain that it is significantly cleaner than traditional incinerators, leading to much lower levels of air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. The GIB said the project would help reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 48,000 tonnes of CO2 a year."
