Amey keeps generation despite some technical issues in Milton Keynes

Amey’s gasification plant in Milton Keynes is up and running, and despite some teething problems, it is now operating at expected levels of energy generation.

Amey stepped in itself to ensure completion of the ATT facility following the demise of contractor Energos – which was supplying the technology. Energos went into liquidation in 2016 (see letsrecycle.com story), near the end of the build, but Amey were able to complete the construction with the technology.

So far, the facility has processed over 100,000 tonnes of material, Mr Waller explains, and it is diverting around 95% of material away from landfill. In total, around 9% of the material is recovered as recyclate.
