Technology
Hoddesdon RDF Power Plant is a gasification plant for
producing electricity from refuse derived fuel (RDF).
The Project has a common automated RDF reception, handling and storage system.
The treated flue gases from each stream are discharged via twin flues within a common windshield.
The steam from both streams are then fed to a common steam turbine to generate electricity for export to the grid.
The exhaust steam from the turbine is condensed in a liquid cooled condenser. The liquid is then cooled using air blast coolers.
