Powertherm is delighted to have recently started on another major construction project within the Power Generation sector.
Located on the outskirts of London within the United Kingdom, we are proud to be working with Hitachi Zosen Inova (HZI) on the Slough Multifuel project. This is the second major power generation project we have partnered with HZI on, previously completing the insulation scope for the Ferrybridge Multifuel 2 project in the North of England.
Our teams will be providing industrial insulation and trace heating services right across the 50 MW energy-from-waste power plant.

Our insulation scope includes the application of insulation and cladding to the boiler, flue gas turbine (FGT), water-steam cycle (WSC), and common steam piping (CSP) systems. As well as, for the balance of plant and associated vessels & tanks, skids, and pipework & ducting.
Electrical Engineers will also install trace heating for ash handling/temperature maintenance requirements to filters and hoppers.
Slough Multifuel is a 50:50 joint venture between SSE Thermal and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) with HZI as the specialist Engineering, Procurement and Construction contractor.
The state-of-the-art facility will process upwards of 480,000 tonnes of municipal solid waste, commercial and industrial waste, and waste wood per year: offsetting more than 147,000 tonnes of CO2 per year and add to the growing fleet of power generation facilities in the UK.
This processing capacity will generate approximately 49.9MW of electricity that will provide power to more than 100,00 homes. In addition, the plant will also deliver 23 tonnes (per hour) of processed steam to a local food processing facility to support their operations.
The power generation plant is expected to be in commercial operation in 2024.
We’ll keep you up to date with how this Powertherm Project progresses.
Thank you to all involved so far…
