Combined Heat and Power at Alfreton STW

Severn Trent Water is one of the UK's largest water companies, supplying clean drinking water and wastewater treatment services to over eight million people across the Midlands and parts of Wales. Established in 1974 through the amalgamation of the Severn River Authority, the Trent River Authority, and local sewage disposal operations, it became a public limited company in 1989 following the privatisation of the water industry.

Headquartered in Coventry, Severn Trent manages an extensive network. It delivers approximately two billion liters of clean tap water daily and processes over three billion liters of wastewater. Its infrastructure includes over 130,000 kilometers of pipes, along with numerous pumping stations and treatment facilities.

Alfreton Sewage Treatment Works (STW) offers tankered waste disposal services, collaborating with wastewater collection providers to manage domestic, commercial, and trade wastewater safely and cost-effectively. Combined Heat and Power (CHP) systems are commonly implemented in sewage treatment facilities to enhance energy efficiency and sustainability. These systems utilise biogas produced during the anaerobic digestion of sewage sludge to generate electricity and heat, which can be used on-site or exported to the grid.

CHP, also known as cogeneration, is a versatile technology that helps ease the transition as the UK moves towards a decarbonised energy supply. In collaboration with Central Power Ltd, we supplied this site with a 1000kVA Wilson T2 Ecotrans® Distribution Transformer and an LV cabinet.
