Capula is to provide the control and automation systems for the new boiler distribution system at Drax Power Station. The award was made by contractor Shepherd Engineering Services (SES)

Drax is installing new receipt, storage and distribution systems are being constructed at its Yorkshire coal-fired power station to help switch to a predominantly biomass-fuelled operation.

Capula was recently been awarded a contract by SES for the provision of the control and automation systems for the new biomass storage facility at Drax Power Station.

The firm will be providing a Schneider-based control solution for the boiler distribution system, which consists of two sections: the common systems and unitised systems.

The common systems will deal with the reception of fuel from storage. The unitised systems will control the eventual transport of the fuel to the boilers of the three converted generating units.
