Dallol Case Studies
Here are a few specific projects undertaken by Dallol Energy
Sawmill customer in North West UK
Size & type: 3.2MW Steam and 200kW Electricity CHP and District Heating System
Value/Benefit: £4m total project value from balance sheet. Sub 3-year payback and carbon neutral production
RHI Accredited: July 2016 (£350,000 RHI paid in Year 1)
Project: Turn-key Civils and M&E project including Local Authority Planning consent delivered on budget and on-time. Ongoing service and maintenance.
Purpose: Replace 12GW of natural gas used for heating industrial timber drying kilns with low value sawmill by-product fuel created on-site. Replaced gas use in secondary timber treatment process and heats modern office block.
Design brief: To deliver a future-proofed robust and fully automatic energy system capable of +8000 hours annual duty and be fully compliant with 2025 Emission Legislation. The added feature of generating electrical power was included to take advantage of the generous subsidies then being offered by the UK Government. Dallol designed a system that provides a low level of operational intervention whilst maintaining full system availability and unsurpassed reliability.
