Seras completes £2.3m plant upgrade

Seras, formerly Esken Renewables, has completed a £2.3 million upgrade to its biomass fuel production facility at Tilbury Green Power – said to be one of the UK’s largest biomass power plants.

The comprehensive refurbishment of the waste wood processing plant includes technology supplied by HAAS Recycling-Systems. The upgrade is said to have enhanced the facility’s operational performance when it comes to plant safety, efficiency and fuel quality.

Tilbury Green Power generates up to 335 GWh of sustainable energy every year, and Seras has a fuel supply contract with the power station, owned by Greenvolt Group and Equitix, through to 2036. The Tilbury plant, which converts untreated waste wood into sustainable wood chip, produces 300k tonnes of fuel for Tilbury Green Power every year.

Aaron Whitrow, head of site operations at Seras, said: “This significant investment into the Tilbury processing plant underlines our commitment to fuel the UK’s sustainable energy future. Working in partnership with HAAS Recycling-Systems, we have developed the Tilbury facility into an industry leading waste wood plant, demonstrating the highest standards in safety, operational efficiency and sustainability.”

Sascha Kloft, managing director, HAAS Recycling-Systems, said: “Together with Seras, we have achieved significant progress by implementing extensive updates to the two high-performance wood recycling lines at the Tilbury fuel production depot.

“This project is among the most extensive refurbishments we have undertaken at HAAS, marking an important milestone in further enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of the facilities.”
