Tilbury Green Power (TGP) is pleased to confirm that the TGP Renewable Energy Plant has today, successfully completed its boiler pressure test, reaching the required 220 bar pressure.

 

The test involved the pumping of cold water within the boiler piping, steadily increasing the water pressure within the pipes to the required 220 bar and examining the boiler pipework to confirm its integrity.

 

Mark Lawlor, TGP’s Construction Manager, said: "This is a significant milestone for the project, having reached the boiler pressure test on schedule and successfully completing the test – congratulations to the entire team. We look forward to completing the remainder of the Plant by mid-2017."
