Ridham Dock Biomass Facility Site Visit

Join a site visit to MVV's Ridham Dock Biomass Facility to see how waste wood is converted into large scale heat and power. The visit includes a short presentation followed by a guided tour of the plant, providing a clear view of the processes and equipment used on site. The event is aimed at professionals and students looking for practical insight into modern biomass combined heat and power operation.

The facility processes around 170,000 to 190,000 tonnes of waste wood each year and produces approximately 188 million kWh of electricity. During the visit you will learn how feedstock is handled, how energy is recovered and what is involved in operating a high throughput biomass plant. Presenters will explain the technical and operational steps that enable conversion of waste wood into usable energy.

Attendees will also hear about the challenge of utilising surplus heat in a local network and will have the opportunity to engage directly with plant engineers for hands on discussion and questions. This visit offers a valuable chance to deepen your understanding of biomass CHP, explore real world energy recovery, and connect with practitioners working in the sector.
