Enfinium Kelvin Adopts Space Technology for Emission Reduction in Black Country Energy Plant
HYDROGEN
Enfinium Kelvin, an energy-from-waste facility in Sandwell, UK, is using ultrasonic leak detection sensors developed for the International Space Station to enhance efficiency and reduce emissions. This technology, implemented across all five enfinium plants, allows real-time detection of gas leaks, improving plant performance and supporting emissions control in flue gas handling systems. The facility processes 2.7 million tonnes of unrecyclable waste annually, generating electricity for around 600,000 homes.
