Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Esholt Sewage Works Part of the recently improved sewage works seen from the canal towpath.

This is a gas holder. The sewage sludge is collected, thickened, then digested in the large grey tanks nearby. These break down the solids giving off gas, primarily methane, which is collected and stored inside the gas holder. The gas is then burnt in combined heat and power engines to provide electricity and also keep the digesters warm which helps the 'bugs' in the digesters to do their work.

Thanks to Adrian Marsden for an explanation of this process.
