\"Biffa\"<\/h4>\n

Biffa has removed 450 tonnes of hazardous material from the UK\u2019s last coal-fired power station.<\/h4>\n

Uniper\u2019s Ratcliffe on Soar power station was closed in September 2024 after generating electricity for UK homes and businesses for almost 60 years.<\/p>\n

Since November 2024, a team of more than 20 Biffa specialists, including industrial chemists and dangerous goods safety advisors, has supported the decommissioning of the power station\u2019s water treatment plant and fuel oil system.<\/p>\n

Biffa has announced it has reached the halfway point of the 12-month project after removing 450 tonnes of hazardous material, including high-concentration sulphuric acid and fuel oil, as well as effluent and anionic and cationic resins.<\/p>\n

Using high-pressure water systems, DISAB vacuum systems and industrial tankers, Biffa says its team often work at height or in confined spaces while wearing breathing equipment to carry out the project.<\/p>\n

The next phase of decommissioning work will involve Biffa’s team dismantling and disposing of the power station\u2019s catalyst bed.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the announcement, James Bissell, Biffa\u2019s Head of Tankers & Industrial Services, said: \u201cOur expertise in industrial services, hazardous waste management and our commitment to health and safety have been critical in supporting the successful ongoing decommissioning of Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Station.<\/p>\n

\u201cRigorous safety protocols, the use of specialist equipment, and the strategic handling of hazardous materials have ensured the highest standards of compliance and environmental protection.\u201d<\/p>\n

Biffa previously worked on the decommissioning of Ironbridge Power Station in Shropshire and continues to provide waste management services at the construction site of Hinkley Point C in Somerset.<\/p>\n
