Birmingham - Minworth

Minworth Sewage Treatment Works, located near Birmingham, is the largest wastewater treatment plant managed by Severn Trent and one of the largest in Europe. 

To enhance sustainability and increase renewable energy production, Severn Trent implemented Cambi's Thermal Hydrolysis Process (THP) as part of a major site upgrade in 2018. The adoption of THP led to a substantial increase in biogas, enabling the facility to inject the material into the national grid, supporting the UK's renewable energy initiatives. The plant is also able to manage its biosolids in accordance with strict regional regulations. 

Across the company we currently generate around 34% of all of the energy we use as a business, and the thermal hydrolysis process will move us closer to our target of making that 50%.
