As far as I am aware, Viridor have not managed to get these plants working properly. As someone who worked for Greater Manchester Waste, the reason will be because they were built cheaply and the staff not trained properly. Early this year, planning permission was granted for an AD bio-gester plant to be built at Smithfield Market, Manchester. Manchester Metropolitan University made a big noise, about their zero carbon, zero water, zero waste campus, which in reality runs on fossil fuels and of course produces waste that goes to landfill sites. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14668445758290699413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32961289.post-45183328649226080992015-08-19T17:39:29.066-07:002015-08-19T17:39:29.066-07:00Now that might sound crazy - to choose to use natu...Now that might sound crazy - to choose to use natural gas/ fossil fuel. But, there may be a reason for it. If I remember correctly GMWDA has been building at least one anaerobic digestion plant for food waste/ organic household waste? If the food waste will anyway be going to a local AD Plant, it might not make so much sense to build a separate biogas facility on the campus?Steve Lasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10760237819154188738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32961289.post-90391404084568473902015-08-17T04:53:33.225-07:002015-08-17T04:53:33.225-07:00I tried to convince Manchester Metropolitan Univer...I tried to convince Manchester Metropolitan University, to build a biodigester, instead of building a biomass incinerator. One of the arguments put forward by those who wanted to gentrify Hulme, was that these plants smell. I did point out, if the plant is build properly, staff trained properly and the plant properly maintained, there should be no problems with smell. <br />I won my argument against a biomass incinerator, but they built a natural gas-powered energy plant instead, for the zero carbon campus!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14668445758290699413noreply@blogger.com
