Provision of Biofiltration Woodchip Media

Description

Lancashire Renewables Ltd (LRL) is a company owned wholly by Lancashire Country Council and Blackpool Council. LRL operates two waste treatment facilities in Leyland and Thornton. Each site is approximately 40 acres and contains numerous buildings responsible for the receival and processing of household and residual waste (circa 400,000 tonnes p.a.). Waste is either transported into the offtake market for further processing/ recycling or to landfill when necessary. LRL's key objectives are to receive, treat and transport contract waste in accordance with the targets and service requirements set out in the Service Level Agreement between LRL and Lancashire County Council. As part of its day-to-day operations, LRL operates several closed biofilters at each of its two sites based in Leyland (PR26 6TB) and Thornton (FY5 7RY). Each biofilter contains multiple cells, and each cell houses approximately 500m3 of woodchip media. The closed biofilters are part of LRL's odour abatement system and they remove obnoxious odours from the internal airstream before emission into the external atmosphere. The internal air is drawn through the bed of woodchip that is inoculated and populated with sulphate loving bacteria. The key criteria for woodchip media used in biofilters for odour control revolve around material composition, physical properties, and durability to ensure optimal microbial activity and long-term performance.
