Update on Technical Centre

 

Powerhouse Energy Group Plc (AIM: PHE), a company pioneering integrated
technology that converts non-recyclable waste into low carbon energy with a
revenue generating engineering consulting division (Engsolve), provides an
update on the progress of its Technical Centre at Bridgend in Wales.

 

Following the delivery of the Thermal Conversion Chamber (TCC) kiln in June,
the unit has now been re-positioned to produce the required operational angle
and has been mechanically completed. The kiln is the centre piece of the
Feedstock Testing Unit (FTU). The gas clean-up system from VUM of Germany has
been mechanically completed and located in its final position within the
building.

 

Full Geotechnical and topographical surveys have also now been completed
outside the building to allow for the safe placement of the produced water
tank and Nitrogen storage tank. This enables foundation designs to be
completed and civil engineering works to begin in September 24.

 

The process control system and panel are being produced by a local company,
TAG Controls and Automation Ltd, which Engsolve has previously used during the
TrimTabs Carbon nano-tube project. The build of the process control system and
panel is based upon PHE's specific Functional Design Specification developed
by Engsolve.

 

The final pieces of the FTU, the cyclone and pipe spools, are currently in
fabrication offsite ready for installation. The target for the completion of
the installation and commissioning work remains mid to late Q4 2024.

 

The FTU has a nameplate capacity to transform 2.5 tonnes per day of waste into
Syngas and is a reduced size version of the proposed commercial process, with
the capability to produce around 250kW of electrical power dependent upon
feedstock, or approximately 200kg a day of hydrogen when the required
separation process is installed. The FTU will initially be utilised for
R&D and investor / customer demonstrations, after which the Company will
evaluate commercial opportunities for the process.

 

Paul Emmitt, CEO of PHE, commented:

"We are pleased with the consistent progress of the FTU build. Using our own
in-house engineering capabilities and local suppliers means we can be flexible
and efficient. We have no large outstanding items and can now fully
concentrate on the mechanical completion in readiness for the control system
and preparing the external area for civils for the tank deliveries."

About Powerhouse Energy Group plc

Powerhouse Energy has developed a process technology which can utilise waste
plastic, end-of-life-tyres, and other waste streams to convert them
efficiently and economically into syngas from which valuable products such as
chemical precursors, hydrogen, electricity, heat and other industrial products
may be derived. PHE's process produces low levels of safe residues and
requires a small operating footprint, making it suitable for deployment at
enterprise and community level.

 

PHE also incorporates Engsolve Ltd, which is a revenue generating business who
offer Engineering Services across all sectors with speciality services in the
development of new technologies and clean energy.
