onsortium-owned corrugated board manufacturer CorrBoard UK is planning build a
500kw anaerobic digester (AD) power plant. Construction of the £3.5 million

produced by the AD plant will be used to fire the corrugator’s boiler with residual heat used to provide warmth in the winter months as well as pre-heating water fed to the boiler, further reducing the gas consumption of the corrugating process.
