This is part of the United Utilities Waste Water Treatment Plant. Immediately in front of the photographer are a pair of enclosures for Jenbacher gas engines that are using methane produced by the digestion of sewage. There is a gas holder to the left. This is a 'green process' as the electricity generated is used on site and there is the potential to export any excess to the grid (usually - although I don't know the specifics for this plant). This was seen on a Heritage Open Day visit to the steam tug Daniel Adamson.
