Waste to Energy (EFW), Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF), Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) plant opening summer 2010.

July 2, 2010 | Author: | Posted in Environmental Services

The Waste Exchange, is getting ready to celebrate the opening of its highly advanced, secondary fuels plant this summer.

The only one of its kind in the North West, the £multi-million plant in Manchester is able to convert ‘residue’ waste, which would have been destined for landfill, into high-quality flock and biomass fuels.

These secondary fuels, commonly known as Energy from Waste (EFW), Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) and Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF), will considerably reduce the reliance on C02 producing fossil fuels like coke. They will be used by blue chip company Tarmac, at their Buxton cement plant.

Understandably enthusiastic about the new development, Waste Exchange Commercial Director, Chris Naylon commented:

“These are exciting times. Not only are we extremely proud to have our new, state-of-the-art plant up and running, we are also delighted to have secured an exclusive 10-year contract with Tarmac, for whom we will initially be supplying 50,000 tonnes of secondary fuels each year.”

Tarmac is in the process of building a second plant too, which when fully operational in 2014, will require a further 110,000 tonnes per year. This development will enable us and our clients to meet business objectives by becoming nil landfill companies this year.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The issue of fire safety on construction sites was brought sharply into focus by the recent fire in Shanghai which led to the deaths of 53 people, with a further 90 being injured. In this instance the scaffold was made of bamboo and covered in nylon sheeting, both of which helped the fire to spread. More specifically in the UK, a number of large fires have highlighted the risks posed from timber frame construction sites which, according to the London Assembly, require ‘urgent action to address a crisis of confidence’. A number of fire brigades have noted increasing numbers of fires related to timber frame buildings, which now account for nearly one in four new builds. Increasing environmental pressures have been the principal driver for the increased usage with timber offering much improved energy efficiency and sustainability credentials. However, when a timber frame building catches fire it is the structure of the building that burns, often leading to total building collapse. There are thousands of fires every year on construction sites, although a lot are due to arson, and it is well documented that unfinished structures are more at risk than completed buildings. In light of the increasing numbers, the HSE issued some updated guidance pertaining to construction sites which include some extra precautions needed for timber frame sites. The London Assembly has called for an immediate review of legislation relating to timber frame construction sites and even suggested that temporary sprinkler systems be installed during the construction phase. Either way, it is essential that fire risk is considered at every stage of the build and external advice requested where necessary.
