Successful FAT in sustainable boiler project

Our colleagues Jamie Sharp, Chris Holt, and Rajeshree Moodley - from our UK and Netherlands teams - attended the FAT alongside the client representative. Working with Kuiper’s engineers and burner specialists, the team carried out all key mechanical and electrical checks to ensure the system meets design and performance expectations.

The Biogas Boiler will form part of a larger green steam solution, working in tandem with electrode boilers to fully replace the site's fossil fuel steam demand. This integrated approach is a core part of the client’s NetZero strategy—delivering long-term sustainability and operational resilience.

Thanks to strong collaboration and careful planning between NIRAS and Kuiper, the FAT went exactly to plan. We now look ahead to site delivery and commissioning.

“The focus and diligence undertaken during the FAT will undoubtedly increase the probability of a successful installation and commissioning on site”, said Jamie Sharp. “We look forward to seeing the boiler operating on-site at the end of the project”.

With testing complete, focus now shifts to site delivery and installation. Once commissioned, the boiler will play a central role in supporting the client’s journey toward more sustainable production.

We will provide  further updates as the project progresses.
