Case Study

Vital Energi presently building an Energy from Waste (EfW) Plant on land previously used for a coal-fired power station at Drakelow, south of Burton-on-Trent, in South Derbyshire.  The plant will use Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) as feedstock for gasification units resulting in the generation of heat and electricity.

The EfW plant consists of 3 steam-generating streams incorporating combustor, boiler, and bag filter, feeding into a single steam turbine driving an 18MWe nominal output generating set.  The plant is to be installed indoors, in a purpose-built building.

The plant is designed and built based on a reference plant with similar, 3 stream configurations but featuring different designs for most of the main process island blocks.

Industrial Engineering & installation services Ltd were awarded the following work scope

Work scope :

• installation  of gasifier under grate ash removal system
• Installation of Gasifier Assembly & Combustion Cylinder installation
• Installation of Gasifier Structural Support steelwork for access platforms to Auxiliary Equipment
• Installation of metering bin system

IEIS provided a comprehensive & professional service at Windermere WwTW and were instrumental in designing, manufacturing, delivering & installing some substantial & at times challenging Advance Plus Pipework plus associated infrastructure for the main inlet, grit & screens area for the Windermere wastewater treatment plant.

Due to project timing constraints, IEIS mobilised without delay and were attentive from the on‐set, temporary piping systems for static loads were required early to ensure the installation program impact was minimised, these would need to be re‐visited later in order to factor in dynamic loads, all in the interest of safety and always with a positive outlook.

The professionalism, positivity, upbeat personalities & engaging style enable the IEIS teams to interact safely & effectively at all levels, they were always well organised & disciplined, QA was neat & business-like, providing the safety & quality required to ensure the correct outcome was realised.

On Windermere IEIS always took the initiative, would go beyond expected job scope parameters with safety leading the way ensuring all the intangibles that lead to a positive and successful installation were in order.
