Imtech Water has placed an order with GPS Group to supply the control system hardware for the Hoddesdon AD plant currently under construction for Tamar Energy.
GPS will provide motor control centres - MCC’s that monitor and control the feedstock screening, mixing, pre-treatment and digestion processes.
Due for completion in 2015, the new plant will process over 66,000 tonnes of food waste a year to generate 3 MWe of electricity for 6,000 homes in Hertfordshire.
GPS has a background in AD via the water industry as well as industrial effluent treatment. Hoddesdon is the second food waste to energy order placed with the company since it joined the ADBA earlier this year as it continues to develop its renewable energy business.
