RWM 2010

RWM is the UK's longest running, best attended and biggest annual event for the recycling and waste management industry.

What a whopper! To feed anaerobic digester

Two of the largest hoppers ever built by Tong Peal are now being assembled into a Lincolnshire
anaerobic digester, one of the first exemplar projects supported by the Environmental Transformation Fund.

The project is taking shape at Staples Vegetables plant at Wrangle, near Boston, where vegetables
out-of-specification at the packhouse or bypassed in the field will be used to generate electricity for supply to the site and surplus for the grid.

The digester will need a constant flow of vegetables and also maize to maintain 24-hour a day operation – and Tong Peal were tasked with designing and manufacturing suitable intake hoppers.

Giant hopper helping in West Country biogas project

One of the largest hoppers manufactured by Tong Peal is now helping in the generation of electricity for an ambitious Somerset biogas project.
Cannington Cold Stores is developing a plant that will be capable of generating more than 2000 kW / hour from digesting a mixture of silage, waste from yoghurt and orange juice manufacture, and livestock slurry. Each of the three 650 / 700 kW plants being built needs at least 20 tonnes of silage per day to be fed slowly into the digester and the challenge for Tong Peal was to supply a hopper capable of holding enough silage to keep the process going for one to two days.

New business in recycling of organic waste

A close working partnership with one of the pioneers in treating organic waste is providing valuable new business for the Spilsby based Tong Peal.
