Provision of a 6th Digester tank, to be the same height and volume as the existing tanks positioned in the footprint of the tank farm; 2. New coolers relocated to the east of Digester 1 to move them away from the main office building and to provide for easier maintenance; and, 3. Installation of a larger gas container on the existing footprint to reduce the need to flare excess gas which cannot be stored, thus maximising electricity generation
