Edina and Swancote Energy successful at CHPA awards

ADBA MEMBER PRESS RELEASE

The Annual CHPA (Combined Heating and Power Association) Awards Dinner proved to be an informative evening and gave host to presentations which covered the whole gamut of CHP applications.

Large and small scale operations were represented in the awards and Edina was pleased to be highly commended in the Innovation Category with its installation at Swancote Energy. This project demonstrates the efficiency of the MWM engines, packaged as plug-and-play units by Edina in the UK and the extra electrical generation and heat recovery from a unit created by CTEC Energy.

Swancote Energy is based at a farm in Shropshire and started biogas operations in 2011 with agricrop. The plant can now handle 38,000 tonnes of food waste per year and has 2.06 MWe electrical output from the TCG2016V12 and the TCG2020V12 MWM engines. These were supplied as a turnkey package and now operate with available uptime in excess of 95 % being maintained and serviced by Edina.

Of Edina’s entry the CHPA judges said:

…the judges were impressed by the innovative combined use of the Edina CHP units and the CTEC heat recovery solution at the biogas plant, and the increased electrical efficiency gained as a result.

Edina engines were also involved in another winning entry in the best Campus, Community and Residential Project, which was won by SSE Heat Networks. SSE entered their district heating project at Wyndford Glasgow, delivered in collaboration with Vital Energi.
