Endress+Hauser has
appointed Denca Controls to
install and commission the
control system for a new
sludge incinerator at United
Utilities’ sludge and sewage
incineration site at Shell
Green,Widnes.

Sludge has a high calorific
value and the purpose of the
Shell Green plant is to burn
the sludge to capture the
latent energy source.The
incinerators, made by Bamag
in Germany, measure 10m
high by 6.5m in diameter at
their widest point.

Denca was entrusted with
the £500,000 installation and
commissioning of the new
incinerator’s control system.

The company’s engineers set
to work installing a system
featuring a PROFIBUS DP and
PA, dealing with all cabling
and connections and the
switching on of level and
pressure instruments.

John Talbot, Denca sales
and marketing director
comments that the project is
particularly satisfying as the
company is helping to do
something positive for the
long term future of the planet.
