"Pinkham Way Alliance (PWA) has been following the story of the Mechanical & Biological Treatment (MBT) plant at Farington for over a year. It opened in late 2010, and during the commissioning period, there were severe problems with the bio-filters (the waste industry seems riddled with Orwellian ‘greening’ of ordinary words, especially with the two prefixes ‘bio’ and ‘eco’).
"The function of bio-filters is to provide a successful breeding home for odour-eating bacteria; they are plainly difficult to balance, particularly in terms of moisture levels, and Veolia confirmed during our visit to Southwark that they need a continuous process of tweaking. Speaking from his industry knowledge, the Veolia director remarked that Farington (which is run by the company Global Renewables) had been a ‘nightmare’ ever since it opened."
