The nearer chimney is refractory lined as it receives hot gas turbine exhaust. The turbine can be operated open cycle or combined cycle. The tall light building houses the "fibre-fuel" (www.fibrefuel.co.uk ) fired installation and the large pipe up the end is the exhaust from a big Peter Brotherhood turbine that is on its way to an air cooled roof mounted condenser. This is a fascinating plant with many unique features and is well worth a visit if you are in to that sort of thing. Interior photos are not for Geograph but are available on request.
