This follows the Weltec successes of commissioning two other plants in early 2014.
The original Eco-Dorset AD plant was also built by Weltec and was commissioned in 2012. After two years of successful operation, the operator assigned Weltec with the extension.
The extension will be completed in autumn 2014. After the extension, approximately 37,000 tpa of food waste will generate an electrical output of 1.6 MW.
The plant is fed by local authority food waste as well as out-of-date food products, which, prior to digestion, are unpackaged, sorted and pasteurised at the site.
