About

The University of Sheffield awarded a contract to Gilles Biomass Heating Ltd for the upgrading of an existing biomass boiler to support waste-to-energy combustion.

The contract, valued at £140,020, was co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund and aimed to extend the capability of a Gilles-HPKI-R 240 kWth grate boiler to enable combustion of a wider range of fuels, including drier pelletised fuels and clean waste such as vegetable waste from agriculture or forestry, vegetable waste from the food processing industry, and untreated non-hazardous wood waste.

The scope included three parts: fuel silo and conveying system, high-efficiency electrostatic precipitator, and flue gas stack with flue gas extraction.

This upgrade supports the University's Translational Energy Research Centre, a national research platform for low-carbon energy generation and carbon capture, utilisation and storage technologies.
