Anglian Water to receive it's first PpTek siloxane filter system

Cambridge Waste water Tretament Works (WwTW) has been chosen by Anglian Water to be their first installation of the popular PpTek Siloxane filtration system.

Having suffered from siloxane contamination which resulted in a premature rebuild for their Combined Heat and Power (CHP) unit, Anglian Water have chosen PpTek's silooxane filter to be installed in Cambridge. The popular BGMK 300 siloxane filter, that has already been chosen for four Southern Water locations, two Severn Trent Water sites and several other WwTW's across the UK, will be installed during December 2009. The site has additionally chosen to protect the boilers from silicon dioxide contamination by specifying the larger capacity unit.

John Hayward, PpTek Director of Chemistry, said "An increasing level of Siloxane contamination at Cambridge WwTW has prompted Anglian Water to examine their future gas conditioning strategy and PpTek is pleased to have been chosen to supply the siloxane filter. We are convinced that the installation of the siloxane removal system will convince them of the merits of this protection and could lead to additional siloxane filters being fitted on other sites within the group"

Additional Siloxane Removal System for United Utilities WwTW site

Following very successful installations at Hatton, Dundee and Davyhulme, Manchester, Waste water Treatment Works (WwTW), United Utilities have again chosen PpTek to supply a further Siloxane filter system to Lancaster WwTW.



PpTek will be working with GCA, one of the leading industry major contract partnerships who will install the siloxane filter. The siloxane filter will protect an additional Jenbacher CHP unit replacing a small existing MAN installation. Siloxane filtration will be part of a large upgrade to the Lancaster site which will extend it's BioGas production via new Anaerobic Digesters. The siloxane filter will protect the existing CHP unit which has also been supplied by Clarke Energy, as well as the on site boilers.



Bill Cowing, PpTek's Commercial Director, commented "This order from United Utilities fully endorses the extremely successful recent installation at Davyhulme. The results from the siloxane filter have transformed their operation and have convinced all involved of the value of gas conditioning, the PpTek technology and product. The upgrading of the CHP installation at Lancaster is an ideal time to install siloxane filtration to gain maximum return on their investment for their CHP equipment"

Additional Siloxane filtration systems for Southern Water

Following two similar successful installations at Gravesend and Fullerton Waste water Treatment Works, Southern Water have ordered two additional BGMK siloxane filtration systems to protect their new Combined Heat and Power (CHP) installation.

Partnering once again with Cogenco, a major European CHP integrator, PpTek has been chosen to supply their largest version of the manually regenerated Siloxane filter system(BGMK) to two sites close to Snodland in Kent, UK.

"The BGMK 300 version, that will be supplied on these projects, have proved to be very popular for gas ranges from 175 - 350 m3/hr or around 500 kW output", said Bill Cowing, PpTek's Director of Sales and Marketing. "We have a number out in the field and expect sales for additional sites in the next few months" he added.

Southern Water have embarked on a large program of CHP's for it's WwTW in the South East of England over the last three years, which are all protected with PpTek Siloxane filtration systems.

Siloxane Filter Systems bound for Helsinki

PpTek, partnering with Sarlin OY. an important integrator operating in Finland, has been chosen to supply two siloxanes filtration systems for Ämmässuo Landfill site, Helsinki, Finland.

Gas flow for the project will be up to 8,000 m3/hr servicing up to four Combined Heat and Power (CHP) units. The engines and siloxane filtration systems will be housed in a showcase glass sided building which is expected to attract many visitors to the Ämmässuo site.
