Over 600 sites currently benefit from
Veolia’s CHP solutions. One recent client is Sibelco, which operates sites throughout the UK
Sibelco required stable low carbon supplies
of electricity and heat and turned to Veolia (Cogenco) Heat and Power to design and install a 1.4MWe CHP system to provide electricity and hot air to the processing systems at the company’s Ivybridge site. To effectively use the heat from the CHP, and transfer this to the drying process Veolia's specialist CHP team delivered innovation by installing specially designed heat exchangers in the make-up air to the process dryer. This system increases the temperature of the input air and displaces gas burners that were previously used. Veolia's specialist designers, installers and operators were able to provide Sibelco with an innovative solution for its onsite generation needs.

The company worked closely with Sibelco to ensure that they could help lower emissions and successfully work towards the CO2 target.
The CHP runs 24-hours-a-day and is
operated and maintained using Veolia's Integrated Management System which provides remote monitoring and control on a 365 days a year basis. The Veolia team were closely involved with
suppliers & the Electricity Board to ensure all the electrical connection of the CHP systems went smoothly.
