NIC have recently completed a successful insulation and sheet metal cladding installation at the state of the art sludge treatment plant in Middlesborough.

NIC also supplied all the scaffolding for the contract through our sister company Northstar Industrial Services Ltd.

 

Cambi UK were awarded the contract for the supply of a Thermal Hydrolysis Process (THP) plant as part of the Bran Sands Advanced Digestion Project. NIC were awarded the insulation and scaffolding package for the plant, winning at competitive tender.

About the Plant ……..

Bran Sands is one of Northumbrian Water’s largest sites, and the current raw sludge drying
is maintenance and energy intensive. NWL therefore reviewed existing sludge treatment assets,
which led to the recommendation of an advanced sludge digestion treatment centre at Bran Sands, based on the Cambi THP technology.

The centre will treat sludge from the existing wastewater treatment plant at Bran Sands and raw
sludge delivered mainly as dewatered cake to the site from the southern half of NWL and can treat up to 40,000 dry tonnes of sludge per year.

The installation of the Cambi plant and subsequent digestion and dewatering will significantly reduce the overall amount of sludge cake to be dried and/or recycled directly to land as an enhanced treated product as well as greatly reducing NWL’s carbon footprint by about 50,000 tonnes and generating up to 4.7 MWs of renewable electricity from biogas.
