United Utilities choose PpTek
An upgrade of the STW site at Davyhulme, Manchester has prompted United Utilities to order an initial filter system from PpTek. Having replaced the old CHP’s for up to date Jenbacher units, it was decided to protect the tehir investment against Siloxane damage which could effect the efficient running of the installation.
An initial filter system will be fitted in the existing layout, with a further system being fitted during a digester upgrade which will provide additional BioGas.
Both filter systems will be located adjacent to the new CHP building when the scheme is fully completed, which will also allow protection of the onsite boilers.
John Hayward, PpTek’s operations Director commented “Davyhulme is the largest STW site within the United Utilities responsibility. PpTek are very excited to be awarded the contract to provide Siloxane removal solutions on site. Once the second phase of the project is complete, this will represent the largest siloxane removal installation at an STW World Wide”
