Welland Waste Management Ltd is a Leicestershire based waste management company. At their Lutterworth facility, they operate a 4MW biofuel CHP plant, fuelled by 36,000tpa of oily food waste as well as a 25,000tpa open air windrow composting operation. They also have an on-site 10MW wood waste gasifier, which is fuelled by 72,000tpa of waste wood. The energy generated by Welland Waste is exported to the National Grid and is enough to power 17,000 UK households, per year. A key element of their waste wood operation is their pre-shredder, which takes the waste wood and shreds it down to a consistent, sub 300mm particle size, ready for further processing through their secondary plant.
