He was joined by Taibach ward councillors Anthony Taylor (Deputy Leader of NPT Council) and Rachel Taylor, and council officers. It was a first opportunity for the group to see the plant since it entered commercial operation in the summer. John Williams, Margam Green Energy’s manager, took the opportunity to explain how the plant uses waste wood (mainly sourced from South Wales and SW England) to generate renewable electricity and to introduce the NPT group to members of the operations team. ← Back to news Social Twitter LinkedIn Contact 020 8392 8250 Email Enquiry Quick Links Disclaimer Cookies Copyright Glennmont Partners 2021

Home About The Plant Location Project Technology Environment FAQs News Image Gallery Contact Us Careers Project Technology Waste wood (wood chip) is delivered via HGV to a fuel reception and storage building. The building stores, organises and feeds from the storage areas; it has a total capacity of 5 days storage. Fuel is conveyed from the storage building to a dosing silo in the boiler building before being introduced into the furnace at a controlled rate. The material burns over a proprietary grate, the heat being used to raise steam within the boiler which is collected and then superheated before being directed to the steam turbine. This converts the energy in the steam to rotational energy which drives a generator via a gearbox producing electricity at 11kV. The exhaust steam passes through an air cooled condenser which returns the condensate to the system. The flue gases pass through economisers which transfer heat to the combustion air stream and feedwater to improve efficiency. Emissions are continuously monitored and the flue gas treatment system ensures these are kept within the limits specified in the plant’s environmental permit. Electricity is exported to the grid via an underground 132kV cable via an electricity substation positioned on site. The grid connection is located 250m west of the substation and the cable routing runs directly to the point of connection.
