The solid fuel will be delivered to the site in bulk containers, either by rail or road. We will not be involved in processing the waste material for the fuel - so no roadside refuse collection vehicles will deliver to our plant.

The fuel will be unloaded into a covered storage area. This reception facility will be kept at reduced atmospheric pressure, compared to the air outside, to prevent any odours escaping.

The core of the plant will be the combustion grate, which will be designed to ensure the efficient and complete combustion of the fuel while minimising the creation of polluting gases, which are treated in a state-of-the-art flue gas treatment plant.

The heat released by the combustion of the fuel stock will be recovered in a water tube boiler, and the high-pressure, superheated steam produced by the boiler will be fed to a pass out condensing turbine linked to an air-cooled condenser. Steam passed out from the turbine will be used efficiently by Tata Chemicals Europe's heating processes.

Additionally, electricity will be generated in a generator driven by the turbine. The plant is expected to consume up to 10% of the electricity produced by the process and the balance - around 90% - will either be used directly by Tata Chemicals Europe, or exported to the National Grid.

The fuel would be unloaded into a covered storage area. This reception facility will be kept at reduced atmospheric pressure, compared to the air outside, to prevent any odours escaping.

The facility would be regulated and monitored by the Environment Agency to ensure that it operates in accordance with strict legislation and environmental standards.
