Bridgwater Waste to Energy Plant (WTE) <\/strong>–\u00a0<\/strong>Bridgwater, Showground Distribution Park, Somerset<\/strong><\/h3>\n

PROJECT
\n<\/span><\/strong>The Bridgwater Waste to Energy (WTE) facility will process approximately 100,000 tonnes of commercial and municipal refuse-derived fuel (\u201cRDF\u201d) per annum, which would otherwise have been committed to landfill. The plant produces around 9.5 MWe, enough to power approximately 20,000 homes.<\/p>\n

CHALLEGES
\n<\/strong><\/span>The building is constructed with a steel frame and generates energy by burning fuel, resulting in very high temperatures within the building.<\/p>\n

SOLUTIONS
\n<\/span><\/strong>IDF has utilised CFD and structural modeling to provide fire protection design for the project. Given the high number of structural steel elements in the building, IDF opted for a cost-effective solution by using a lightweight gypsum-based render for the structure’s fire protection. This approach ensures the safety of the plant while maintaining an economic advantage.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
