Energos, Energy from Waste
Morson Praxis were appointed by Energos to support the design and layout of a new Energy from Waste (EfW) facility on the Isle of Wight, helping to transform local waste streams into clean, renewable power.
Client Brief
Smart Energy from Local Waste
Energos required design support to develop a modern Advanced Thermal Treatment (ATT) plant that could process 5 tonnes of waste per hour, generating 13.5 MW of thermal energy.
The system would power the facility itself and export surplus electricity to the local grid — supporting the Isle of Wight’s sustainability goals.
Project Overview
Designing an Efficient, Compact Plant
Morson Praxis were tasked with developing a 3D PDMS model and plant layout drawings for Energos and the future operator AmeyCespa.
The design included: main EfW plant and process equipment, piping, ducting, cable trays and CE&I equipment and steel access platforms and internal structures.
One of the main challenges was to fit the full EfW plant and supporting systems within a fixed building envelope, as defined by architectural plans already approved for planning permission.

Our Solution
Precision Design in a Confined Space
To meet the project’s spatial and operational requirements, our engineers developed a highly efficient two-storey internal equipment platform.
This innovative layout maximised usable space, streamlined access for maintenance, and ensured structural integrity through preliminary analysis and design calculations.
From the jointly developed plant list, weights and sizes, Morson Praxis produced detailed equipment loading drawings for AmeyCespa’s civil contractor, enabling them to design the foundations and main steelwork structure with confidence and precision.
Results
A Model for Clean Energy Innovation
Morson Praxis successfully delivered a fully integrated 3D design model and layout that enabled Energos to progress the facility’s development efficiently and accurately.
The project demonstrated how intelligent design can unlock sustainable energy solutions, even within tight physical and engineering constraints.
