Sand-Ash Project - Biomass Power Station

---

In recent years biomass power stations have emerged as a promising source of renewable energy. Utilizing organic materials derived from plants, trees, and agricultural waste, these power stations generate electricity while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This article explores the working principles, environmental benefits, challenges, and potential future developments of biomass power stations.

Biomass power stations generate electricity through the combustion or gasification of organic materials. Biomass, such as wood chips, sawdust, agricultural residues, and dedicated energy crops, serves as the primary fuel source. The organic matter is collected, processed, and converted into a fuel that can be burned in a boiler or gasifier.

Humber EC&I were engaged to provide electrical & instrumentation installation services for the Sand/Ash project at a local Biomass power station, our team of on-site supervisors and electricians managed the installation of containment, cable pulling, glanding and terminating from conceptual design drawings ensuring compliance to BS7671. We were later engaged to support the end user with QA (testing and plant handover), commissioning support, lighting design and installation along with generation of loop diagrams.
