U.K. selects ECN technology to generate energy from waste

The British Energy Technologies Institute (ETI) has selected Royal Dahlman as one of three companies to design the most cost-effective, economically viable and efficient waste to energy plant possible. Dahlman design is based on ECN technology.

ETI selected Royal Dahlman in an open tender process, in which the world’s most advanced and innovative gasification technologies competed for a partially funded design and project development phase.  ETI will select the winning design after 10 months, resulting in the realization of the plant.

The plant design is based upon MILENA gasification and OLGA gas cleaning (tar removal) technology. Both are patented  inventions of ECN, further developed in close cooperation with Royal Dahlman. The combination of MILENA and  OLGA produces a clean gas with a high methane content. It’s high energy value allows for efficient utilization of the clean gas in a gas turbine combined cycle (IGCC).
