Half the site had already been forced to close under the LCPD earlier this year
with the loss of 1000MW, this fire is in the remaining half. 500MW not expected
back in service this financial year (31st March 2015). The other 500MW lost
until 1st November 2014. Fire service still on site trashing everything they
can see with water

Without the save the whale/panda/bunny environment ******** that bit of plant
wouldn't have even been retrofitted in the first place.

The 68MW wood chip biomass plant next door is still under construction for what
little it will ever do. I'm sure a bunny somewhere will be grateful.

I'm a bit out of practice with coal fired plant, anyone recognise which
bits of plant seem to be involved? Two vertical cylindrical structures.

How are you at reading the links provided?

This was a bit careless of the owners?

You cannot blame the fire brigade they don't want surprises ehen their
people ar inside now do they?

I'm passingly interested in what actually burnt, i.e. what was the
material that combusted.

Ditto

I can't imagine too much combustible material
in or around a de-sulphurisation plant; mostly metal pipes, pumps and
lime slurry I would have thought, possibly with some mineral-based
insulation. But plenty of black smoke reminiscent of a domestic
chimney fire. Do these things get sooted up? Seems unlikely.

The whole site was apparently undergoing major maintenance.

Some detail on the Drax FGD plant here with the operational temperatures, note
the use of rubber linings to prevent corrosion.
