The execution

The main sources of fuel for the plant were fats, oils, and gases, which are thrown away by households and restaurants.

The plant has an annual output of 130GWh of electricity, while the installed capacity is 19MW. It operates at an electrical efficiency of more than 65% and provides power for approximately 40,000 households.

During a planned shutdown, Welch Instrumentation had to remove and perform instrument calibration in a workshop, and then loop check back to the DCS. In addition to this, we had to investigate a faulty pressure transmitter, identify the issue, replace it with a spare, and commission the instrument, so the unit was back online.
