Xergi is to supply Holton Renewable Power, which is a joint venture between Bernard Matthews and Glendale Power, a development company specialising in anaerobic digestion, with a biogas plant.
The plant will be located close to Bernard Matthews’ current processing site in Holton in Suffolk, with the biogas being generated solely from waste matter from the production plant.
Jørgen Fink, sales manager in Xergi’s international sales department, said: “The biogas plant converts the processing waste into an energy resource. Digesting the waste will also allow the company to handle its own material.”
So far, the company has delivered its waste to an external service contractor for processing, but with the biogas plant the business will be able to manage everything on site and will save over 1000 lorry journeys per annum.
The Holton plant is based on Xergi’s new modular concept. The installed power output of the gas engine is 499 kW. This gives the company the opportunity to obtain a higher price for the green electricity which is based on the new British tariff for electricity produced from biogas.
