Stallingborough

In 2011, we were appointed to manage the Operations and Maintenance (O&M) teams at the Stallingborough CHP plant near Grimsby. This long term contract secured the future of the employees at the power plant, and the successful transfer from the incumbent O&M provider to px Group ensured that existing skills and knowledge were retained.

Since taking over responsibility, we’ve undertaken a series of outages designed to maintain and improve plant availability and reliability, along with several plant studies and projects to identify issues and improve asset integrity, including:

Development of a thermal heat rate model to enhance plant efficiency
Provision of electricity supply and offtake trading arrangements
Reviewing DCS upgrade options
Improvement in the sensitivity and accuracy of metering
Solutions for IED compliance.
