Severn Trent Water choose PpTek

Severn Trent Water (STW) has chosen PpTek to install a filter to clean the BioGas at one of their largest sites near Nottingham.

The water treatment works has recently undergone a major overhaul of its facility which included replacing the old CHP engines with  two new 1.15 mW    GE Jenbacher units. Due to historical problems with Siloxane contamination of the BioGas STW included gas filtration in their refurbishment plans.

During planning PpTek were able to configure their BioGas Autokleen (BGAK) filter to be able to protect not only the new CHP engines but also the boilers used to supply the heat for the anaerobic digestion process which produces the BioGas.

Bill Cowing, Director of Sales and Marketing for PpTek, commented ”High on STW’s list of priorities was to not only protect their new CHP engines but also to maintain their boiler efficiency. By careful planning of the installation we were able to offer a solution for both problems with one BGAK unit”.

John Hayward, Director of Operations added “We hope this is the first of several sites that we can help STW protect their high  investment in CHP installations. We also have several other Water Treatment Utilities close to placing orders for both auto and manual regeneration filters”
