Babcock & Wilcox Vølund has selected automation technology of Metso for a greenfield energy-from-waste plant in Peterborough, UK.
Under the terms of the agreement, Metso will supply Metso DNA automation system, a Metso DNA information management system and a fully integrated Metso DNA Machine Monitoring solution in order to predict mechanical faults in critical machinery.
Metso UK Automation sales director Neil Buckland said, "We have wide experience in supplying automation technology to energy-from-waste plants in Europe, and especially in the UK. In fact, our Metso DNA automation system is installed in 60 to 70% of UK’s energy-from-waste plants."
The advanced automation solutions enable the operators to efficiently control the process of transforming waste into green energy and manage operations at the plant.
Operated and maintained by Viridor, one of Europe’s major waste management companies, the new plant is slated to be completed in 2015 and will have a capacity to treat approximately 85,000 tons of waste per year.
Babcock & Wilcox Vølund will be responsible for the engineering, procurement and construction of the plant, which will have electrical power generation capacity of 7.25MW.
