HBPW’s ever expanding knowledge of renewable energy engineering has landed it another contract courtesy of The Clugston Group and Kelda Water Services Ltd, owners of Yorkshire Water.
YW has been granted full planning permission to build an Anaerobic Digestion Plant at the Knostrop Sewage Treatment Works in Leeds and HBPW has been invited to produce the civil & structural engineering design drawings for the contractor.

The waste water treatment works, located in the city’s Cross Green area, is committed to developing renewable energy projects on site, as part of YW’s commitment to invest in renewable energy so that it can minimise environmental impact and keep customer bills low.
Partner Emyr Parry, said: “AD plants use waste as fuel in order to produce electricity and, with Knostrop processing in the region of 48,000 tonnes per annum, this will enable the plant to generate approximately 2.4MW of electrical energy which will be used on site.
“HBPW has been involved in several AD plants for a number of clients so we were a natural choice to work alongside Clugston’s. Nevertheless we are proud to be associated with such a key brand from the UK water industry.”
The wider proposed development includes a reception building incorporating solar panels on the roof and a digester tank unit comprising primary digester and secondary digester tanks.
