Temblebough Biomass Power Station
Biomass Solutions
Challenge:
Temblebough Biomass is a state-of-the-art renewable electricity plant commissioned in 2018. Generating around 41MW of green electricity to supply 78,000 homes and save over 150,000 tons of CO2 every year.
Waste wood fuel is delivered to the plant from local processing hubs. The vehicles tip their waste wood into a reception bunker, it is then transported by crane into the fuel store. It is then moved to the loading hoppers where it is then burnt, the energy released is used to boil water; the steam produced then activates a steam turbine creating rotational energy from which electricity is generated by an electrical generator. The electricity is fed into the national grid for everyone to use.
The mist-air system was designed as part of the plant’s dust control permit, this means that the system suppresses airborne dust during the unloading of the vehicles into the reception bunker, when the fuel is then moved to the fuel store, for movement of material in the fuel store and during the hopper loading operation.

The Mist-air Solution:
The mist-air system suppresses the fine wood dust and prevents it from staying airborne, reducing the dust levels for operatives, housekeeping, improving the environmental effect the plant may have had on neighbours and wildlife and also reducing the chance of flash explosions within the facility.
This facility is understandably a moisture sensitive area. Unlike some spray systems on the market this isn’t a problem for the mist-air system because the way we generate and distribute the fog means there is never any moisture added to the wood fuel. Daily tests are undertaken by the plant as a matter of course and the mist-air system never causes any extra moisture content of the fuel.
