The Mersey Bioenergy Project is a waste wood biomass CHP plant located in Widnes. The plant design includes for an inclined grate for the combustion of waste wood chips, a water-tube steam-raising boiler and superheater, a steam turbine generator for the production of electricity and a flue gas cleaning system to ensure compliance with the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED).
