Energos has been appointed as technology provider for a thermal conversion facility, as part of AmeyCespa's proposed Milton Keynes waste recovery park.

The proposed project involves a three-stage waste treatment process to treat household waste, using mechanical treatment to sort recyclates, anaerobic digestion and thermal treatment. Start up is scheduled for 2016, subject to the project gaining planning consent.

UK-based Energos' technology would be used at the final process stage to convert any remaining, non-recyclable waste into a syngas. This would be used to produce high-temperature steam that can then be converted into electricity in a turbine.

According to Energos, the facility would be able to process more than 90,000 tonnes of non-recyclable waste and could generate 7MW of electricity.
