PetrolValves and its subsidiary VSI Controls have been awarded for the supply of the Severe Service control valves for the North London waste-to-energy plant.
Producing electricity, heat or fuels using what is no longer needed. So-called “Waste-To-Energy” (WTE), or waste-to-energy valorization represents another aspect of the circular economy, often less publicized than recycling or reuse, and in any case less preferable than the latter. A solution that, however, remains better than landfilling, considering the impacts the latter option has on the environment.
This new Energy Recovery Facility will turn waste into power and heat for tens of thousands of local homes, bringing energy security from waste, through world’s best technology to remove nitrogen oxides and minimize emissions of particulate, ahead of the 2050 CCS target for all energy-from waste facilities as advised by the Climate Change Committee.
PetrolValves supply will include the Turbine Bypass System and #4 PRDS (Pressure Reducing & Desuperheating System) for the steam pressure and temperature control, equipped with industry-leading technology, including the steam-assisted desuperheaters, capable of maximize the turndown of the plant through perfect temperature control.
