Project Brief
• Develop AD Assets / Strategy in Scotland for Biowaste• Plant 1 - 30,000 tpa (Cumbernauld)• Plant 2 - 40,000 tpa (Prestwick)• Plant 3 - 40,000 tpa (Johnstone)
• Merchant Site
• Category 3 Material
• Separate Packaged Feed Materials
• Produce High Quality (PAS110) Product
• Maximise Revenue from Energy Generation
• Integrate into Existing Facility

Project Procurement & Team
• Initial OJEC Notice (short list 6 bidders)
• Phase 1 – Permit Design Development
• Phase 2 – Detail Design Development
• Phase 3 – Construction Phase

Project Overview
• Existing Open Windrow and IVC Composting Facility• Mixed green waste• Catering waste• Slurries (Odour)
• Current Capacity 40,000 tpa
• New Biowaste AD – Additional 30,000 tpa• Kerbside collection (source segregated)• Packaged food waste• Category 3• Commercial and industrial (C&I)• Slurries
• 1MWe Generation

Integration Issues – WwTW Upgrade to Biowaste
• Difficulties• Traffic management• Electrical Connection • Discharge Consent • Permit Modification• Planning Permission• Product (PAS110 / Waste Exemption License)
• Benefits• Dilution Effluent• Existing Discharge to Sewer / Liquor Treatment?• Existing Logistics• Trained Operations Staff• Grid Connection / Generating Capacity

Permitting Issues
• Odour at boundary 1.5OUe• NOx, SOx emissions • Noise• Effluent (liquor treatment)• Normal operation• Abnormal operation• Best Available Technology
• Environmental risk assessment integral with design risk assessment• Modelling of emissions (noise, NOx, SOx, odour)• Design to minimise emissions• Environmental HAZOP to look at risks • Visit working sites to familiarise• Define BAT

Commercial Viability
• Revenue Streams (Maximise!)• Gate fee• Power• Product
• Opex Costs (Minimise!)• Parasitic power• Fuel costs• Manpower• Product?
• Infrastructure Cost • Minimise development costs (phased contract)• Biowaste AD asset specification• Development support

Feed Preparation for Digestion
• Up to 20% Contamination
• Solids 20% to 40%
• This is what we get
• What we Want• Solids ~ 10% by weight• Contamination < 0.25% in feed

Ideal Feed to Digester
• Liquified Slurry Feed (Wet Digestion)
• 10% DS
• 12mm screened
• Low Contaminants
• PAS110 req <0.5% by Weight
• Digestion Concentrates Contamination• 0.25% Feed = 0.5% Cake

Required Product
• Contamination < 0.5%• PAS110 compliant• Product• 25 – 35% dry solids

Conclusions
• Co-development of Biowaste AD with WW assets minimises development costs & programme
• Planning• Permitting• Synergises – liquors, power, infrastructure, staff.
• Water industry pedigree of client and technology provider ensures robust quality and professional project delivery
• Biowaste asset standard optimised to deliver good commercial IRR
• Model can be expanded rapidly across Scotland (Plants 2 & 3) delivering:• 110,000 tpa capacity
• 4 MWe + renewable energy• Valuable compost for recycling
