What experience does BioGenpower and ENERGOS have in building and operating ERF plants?
BioGenpower uses ENERGOS EfW technology and there are six ENERGOS plants in operation throughout Norway and one in Germany and the UK with the oldest plant has been in operation for over eleven years. In addition, ENERGOS has retrofitted the existing Isle of Wight’s EfW plant with their gasification technology and has been operational since mid 2009. In May 2010 Energos handed over their latest ERF to Borragaard Industries, a Norwegian chemical company in Sarpsborg. The 80,000 tonne per year ERF was built to budget and slightly ahead of time. This is the second ERF supplied to Borragaard Industries, following the initial Energos facility built in 2002. BioGenpower and ENER-G Holdings plc will commence construction on the UK’s first ENERGOS EfW plant in early 2011, subject to contract. The plant will be built at Irvine, Ayrshire, and will dispose of c80,000 tonnes of residual waste.
