Proposal for energy recovery facility in Doncaster

BH Energy Gap Ltd says the site will use the residual material from commercial and industrial waste and segregate materials such as metals, plastics and rubble using technology like magnets and eddy currents.

These will be used to produce energy using an ‘advanced thermal treatment technology’, which, according to company bosses will then be converted into sustainable and exportable electricity.

The development will provide jobs for 40 members of full-time staff.

The area has a long industrial history of manufacturing and distribution businesses.

BH EnergyGap Ltd have modified the proposed technology from gasification to combustion.

A proposal for the energy recovery facility in Doncaster issued by BH EnergyGap Ltd says:

“This facility will take commercial and industrial waste or similar waste types and sort and segregate materials such as metals, plastics and rubble and recover their value using the latest sorting technology like magnets and eddy currents, near infrared cameras and air jets.

“The residual material, known as Solid Recovered Fuel will be used to produce energy using Gasification, which is an advanced thermal treatment technology.

“The resulting gas will be used to produce electricity for export from the site. There is the possibility of the facility exporting heat as well.

“These activities will provide a sustainable alternative to landfill disposal, the use of fossil fuels and of raw materials.”

According to the firm’s website, construction would take around to two-and-a-half years.
