The building permit has been granted and it will enter into force shortly. The next step is to fill up the high pressure syngas storage, from which  Q Power’s biological methanation plant will be fed.

The next project consortium meeting is scheduled to the 27th of March at 10:00 CET as an online meeting.

Technical meeting 20 February

On the 20rd February, Cortus, Q Power and BEIC had a technical meeting regarding the last safety issues. The ground has been leveled so it is easy and safe to walk along the pilot plant containers. Q Power will install a cable ladder to have a cable out of the way and an external light source to avoid the risk for tripping in case of work during dark hours. The need for an additional pressure release valve (on the syngas feeding line) was discussed. The racks with gas bottles will be moved slightly to improve accessibility and the earthing cables on the racks will be bolted.
