A concrete effluent tank has become part of Rampton Hospital’s new energy center in Nottinghamshire, U.K., according to an article on the Pollution Solutions website.
Part of the new energy center that provides heating, hot water and electricity to the Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust Hospital, the concrete tank is a key component of Rampton’s new effluent treatment plant.
The hospital’s existing coal-fired boilers have been replaced with a 1MW biomass boiler, a 1.2MW combined heat and power (CHP) engine and three high efficiency dual-fuel boilers running predominantly on gas. A new building management system has also been installed.
The new plant meets all of the hospital’s heating and hot water requirements and approximately 87 percent of the total electricity demand, reducing CO2 emissions by around 8,000 tons per year.
