Helius CoRDe Biomass Plant, Rothes
The plant combusts a combination of the whisky distillery by-product (draff) from the local area and wood chips in the boiler, generating 7.2 MWe – enough to supply 9,000 homes with electricity.
Helius CoRDe is a joint venture between Helius Energy and the Combination of Rothes Distillers, comprising the major distillers of Speyside in Scotland.
Colt designed a solution for the dissipation of heat and smoke clearance. At the original design stage, a scheme of full attenuation and rain defence louvres were proposed, but this meant that the equipment co-efficient was low; therefore, we required more equipment to meet the free area, which put up cost and space requirements. We looked at different weathering and attenuation combinations and arrived at a suitable system within budget and meeting space requirements.
