Supplementary Booklet About Our Proposals for the North Lincolnshire Green Energy Park Supplementary consultation booklet SUMMER 2021 Introduction Thank you for taking the time to read this supplementary booklet about our proposals for the North Lincolnshire Green Energy Park. It has been published as part of a public consultation on our proposals that we are carrying out between 14 June and 25 July 2021. This booklet is designed to supplement the information published in the main Consultation Booklet. It sets out additional detail about how we have assessed potential environmental impacts from the North Lincolnshire Green Energy Park and steps we are taking, where necessary, to address them. For an overview of our proposals as a whole, the reasons they are needed, the benefits they could bring to the local area, the process we are going through to get development consent and how to take part in the consultation, please see the main Consultation Booklet. This can be downloaded from our website, www.northlincolnshiregreenenergypark. co.uk. You can also request a hard copy by contacting us on 0800 130 3353 or info@ northlincolnshiregreenenergypark.co.uk.

This will form part of our application for a Development Consent Order (DCO), which will be submitted to PINS. Read the PEIR You can view the PEIR electronically by going to our website: www.northlincolnshiregreenenergypark.co.uk. If Government guidance on COVID 19 permits, we also hope to make physical copies of the PEIR available to read at the following locations in the local area: • Fenestra Conference Centre, 24 High Street, Flixborough, Scunthorpe, DN15 8RL • Scunthorpe Central Library, Carlton Street, Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire, DN15 6TX • Crowle Community Hub, The Market Hall, Market Place, Crowle, North Lincolnshire, DN17 4LA • Winterton Library, 54 West Street, Winterton, Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire, DN15 9QF Please contact us for the latest information before making plans to visit one of these locations. 3 Technology The Energy Recovery Facility (ERF) at the North Lincolnshire Green Energy Park will work like most others. It will burn a fuel to heat water into steam, which will pass through a turbine. This will be connected to a generator, which will produce electricity. The difference is that we will make the process as efficient as possible by employing a variety of technologies to capture and use its by-products. We are also including a Plastic Recycling Facility in our proposals to treat products which can be recycled. The fuel that the ERF will burn is Refuse-Derived Fuel (RDF). This is the final product that cannot be recycled or is not economically recyclable from municipal black bag waste. The steps of the process are shown in the diagram on the opposite page: 1. RDF will be delivered in sealed containers to a reception area. It is then unloaded into a waste bunker. 2. From the waste bunker, the RDF will be lifted and fed into a chute by cranes. The chute will deliver the RDF to a furnace. 3. Within the furnace the RDF will be burned at a high temperature. The gases produced will be used to generate high temperature steam in a boiler. 4. The steam will then be used to drive a turbine. This will be connected to a generator producing electricity. Some steam will be used to provide heat to the district heating network and other parts of the North Lincolnshire Green Energy Park. 5. Ash will be produced in the furnace. This is called bottom ash. We will use this on site in the manufacture of concrete blocks. 6. The hot gases used to raise the steam will be treated and then cleaned before being released through a chimney – known as a ‘stack’. 7. More ash is produced from cleaning the gases. This is called fly ash – it will be treated on site to produce an aggregate. 8. Carbon Dioxide Capture technology will capture some of the carbon dioxide released during combustion for storage and utilisation. 9. The electricity generated will be used on site for battery storage, EV charging and to make green hydrogen. The remaining electricity will be sent on to the district network or to the National Grid.

Fly ash which will separate the carbon from the will be treated by carbonation. This involves gases.

    CHAPTER 42 FLIXBOROUGH: THE DISASTER AND ITS AFTERMATH J. E. S. Venart Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of New Brunswick, Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada If we do not understand the past we cannot make proper sense of the present or the future. 42.1 BACKGROUND On June 1, 1974, a fire and massive explosion occurred at the Nypro (UK) Ltd. works near Flixborough, North Lincolnshire (Fig. 42.1). An accidental release of cyclohexane at 0.96 MPa and between 150 to 155ЊC resulted in an unconfined vapor cloud explosion (UVCE) that caused 28 fatalities, the destruction of the plant, severe injury to inhabitants, and sig- FIGURE 42.1 Map of the Humber River and surroundings.

The plant was located on the east bank of the River Trent, a tributary of the Humber, about 50 km west of the fishing port of Grimsby. On the west bank of the river, opposite the NYPRO site, was the village of Amcotts; the village of Flixborough was on a small rise to the East; the town of Scunthorpe was southeast of the location. All suffered major distress though no loss of life. The catastrophe was initiated in section 25A of the process stream (Fig. 42.2) during start-up while the cyclohexane feedstock, inerted with nitrogen, was under hot recycle through the reactor train, R1 to R6. Only about one-third of the 70 kg/s full production flow was recirculating at the time.
