FLI Energy has started construction work on a new biomethane-to-grid plant in Ellough, Suffolk, UK with a thermal energy capacity of 12MW.
 
The anaerobic digestion project will produce around 2,000m3/hour of raw biogas from locally produced crops. and deliver 1,100Nm3/hour of biomethane. It will also deliver organic fertiliser back to local farmers.
 
“Injecting biomethane produced through anaerobic digestion into the gas grid is one of the most efficient uses of biogas," said FLI Energy’s managing director Declan McGrath "Biomethane from AD could potentially deliver 10% of the UK’s domestic gas demand.”
 
The Ellough project is being led by BioCore Environmental Ltd which contracted FLI Energy to provide a full EPC-wrapped project, including the design, construction and commissioning of the plant, as well as a five-year maintenance and process analysis support contract.
 
The contract scope includes detailed civil and process design, ground-works, site secondary containment bunding, drainage, silage clamp, digestate storage, AD plant technology, 500 kWe CHP, biogas upgrading, propane addition and biomethane network entry.
 
Biocore awarded the contract through funding partner Cambridge-based funding partner Eastern Counties Finance (ECF). It has financed more than 100 on-farm energy projects in the last two years, from wind turbines and solar panels, to AD and biogas plants.
 
FLI Energy offers turnkey AD plant construction, processing agricultural and commercial organic feedstocks to produce biogas and generate renewable energy. It is part of the FLI Group, based in Kempston, Bedfordshire, which provides design, project management, contracting, project delivery and operational services across the environmental, waste, water and energy sectors.
 
FLI Energy works in co-operation with its AD technology designer Host BV, based in The Netherlands. Projects are delivered by F.L.I. Energy using in-house resources in project management, process, civils, M&E and operations.
 
HoSt is currently the largest provider of AD technology infrastructure in the Netherlands with over 70 international operating plants, digesting mixed feedstocks.
 
BioCore Environmental has established a significant presence in the UK and Ireland in the development and operation of AD plants and in the sludge management services sector. It is currently developing AD plants with a combined power output in excess of 25MW.
