Philip Callen

CEO

Philip Callen, (PC) the General Manager of Alternative Use Group Plc is 64 years of age, has been married for 42 years and has 2 children and 4 grandchildren.

During his career he has had wide experience of business and industry in many fields, including waste collection and disposal.

During the 1990’s, having seen at first hand the problems of landfill disposal, and having reflected on the environmental and economic damage caused by traditional methods of waste disposal, he decided to devote himself to discovering an efficient, environmentally friendly and economic solution to the worldwide problems of waste disposal. He realised that the power generation industry was grappling with similar problems of exhausting natural resources, and by the traditional methods of generation contributing to global warming and dimming and the dire environmental consequences of those phenomena.

He, therefore, formed Alternative Use plc to research and develop a system that would be a solution to both problems at the same time. The concept of converting waste to energy by pyrolysis-gasification was not new, but there was no efficient, reliable or economic system. By investigating all available systems, and involving major worldwide manufacturers and suppliers, under PC’s guidance Alternative Use plc was able to develop a system that fulfils all the criteria and is approved by the most respected consultants, and to form a consortium of very major companies to manufacture and supply all the necessary components to support its implementation.

PC had for some years been troubled by the plight of underdeveloped countries and the fact that they were unable for lack of resources adequately to address environmental issues. His view has been that it will be by viable economic development, not by grant aid, that real sustainable development and actual poverty reduction will occur. On trips to Africa in connection with the business of Alternative Use plc he observed at first hand that the problem of waste disposal in that continent was growing out of control, with landfill the only solution being offered. He immediately realised that with the desire of such countries to embrace new technology and the lack of vested interests, the introduction of Alternative Use plc’s technology could rapidly introduce major benefits economically and environmentally in the waste disposal sector, and at the same time provide electrical power of which there is an almost universal shortage.

The system now being marketed by Alternative Use Group plc has been developed by PC and the team he has created to provide energy from waste systems that can be adapted for use in all parts of the world, and can deal with waste streams of any combustible composition, so that solutions can be provided to clients ranging from small private concerns to local, municipal and even national governments and major multi-national companies.

PC’s vision is to see energy from waste accepted as the normal way of solving the joint problems of excess waste and shortage of electrical power, and at the same time to ensure that the technology is as readily available in the third world as in the first so that the benefits of the systems of which he has overseen the development can play a major role in those countries where the need is greatest.

Business experience
24 years experience in food manufacturing and feed milling. A former Management Accountant with previous appointments ranging from Senior Accountant, Company Secretary, Managing Director of a Sign Making and stationery business, Supply Chain Manager and Projects Manager [Prince2].  

In 2000 was appointed Supply Chain Manager for Padleys, heading Procurement, Operational Planning and Administration functions for the group. Following its take-over in 2004 I became Group Projects Manager and then Systems Architect for systems, process development, and business analysis for Moy Park, with a team of business analysts and external consultants.

Project Management Experience.
Project managed installation of a group wide ERP system[Prism], GW Padleys 1997-00
Project managed integration to Computerway MES GW Padleys 1997- 00
Project managed review and redevelopment of ERP[Protean] in Moy Park sites 2004-6

Installing integrated ERP’s into an organisation exposes its principal Project Manager to all the operational areas of the enterprise:

For those who may have less familiarity with ERPs, they are more than “Enterprise Resource Planning” implementations. Typically they cover Finance, Accounts Payable and Receivable, Costing, Customer Relationship Management, Manufacturing Schedules, Quality Assurance, Product Life Cycle Management, Asset management, Factory floor data capture and integration, Traceability, Despatching, BI Reporting, at all business levels - and also “Enterprise Resource Planning”. Successful implementations focus as much on people and processes as they do on the technologies.  Streamlining an enterprise supply chain is about coordinating and optimising all of these key elements, following an integrated Sales and Operational Planning approach.

Last employer, for the last 20 years ending in July 2010: Moy Park Ltd: a division of the Marfrig Group. Moy Park has factories, in England, Northern Ireland, France and Holland generating c £1b turnover. It is an integrated poultry producer with its own breeder and grower farms across Lincs, Norfolk, Suffolk and NI; with hatcheries and mills, Primary and Further Processing Factories, and also its own Distribution fleet based in Lincolnshire. 

Marfrig plc is an international food group with its HQ in Brazil and business interests worldwide.  Moy Park is roughly 25% of the Marfrig group.

Hobbies: An active interest in the Arts. I have a river boat moored in Lincoln marina.

Part of my Supply Chain responsibilities between 2000 and 2004 was to research all aspects of my employer’s core and dispersed costs, one major component of which of course being waste. It is during this research period I first met Phil Callen and Alternative Use.

Following initial feasibility studies we worked on a site based generation from waste unit. The concept utilised Waste/Fuel (effluent sludge edible and inedible offal, feathers leaf fat oils and blood etc) was exclusively generated on and by a single major primary processing site based in Lincolnshire. The source material could be conveyed directly into the fuel feed hopper of the power producing plant.

The unit could be located directly on site (or next door behind a separation wall, with a ‘pipe line’ between the two). The beauty of this solution was that it avoided all downstream logistics and land fill disposal, converting what was an escalating cost into a revenue stream. As the fuel source material was carried under cover as part of a continuous process the solution could be constructed to comply with current and predicted hygiene rules. The power from the waste plant could be highly attuned to the consistent daily waste materials supply.

As part of this I also experimented with an Archimedean screw compactor for feathers and fat. This reduced the water content and presented ‘slugs’ of material to the power plant hopper.

The engine/ turbine combination specification changed over the extended period as more was understood about this developing field. Toward the end of of the project we were reviewing emerging Gasification technologies.

The process proposed by Phil was clean, met with all Environmental Agency standards for emission controls. It used proven engineering with low risk and generated Green Energy.

Unfortunately the business for which I was engaged in ths project was then taken-over, and this project was shelved as the new company were already heavily engaged in a multi-million pound incinerator based project in Northern Ireland.
