Charlton Lane Eco Park (ACT)
An EfW facility based upon Gasification technology with AD, a MRF bulking facility and an HWRC on the same site. The Charlton Lane site (also known as Surrey Eco Park) has forecast operational capacity of 60,000 tonnes per annum for the Gasification alone (with around 40,000 tonnes per annum in the AD plant). It was reported that the first waste for hot commissioning was accepted in late 2019 with the Gasification facility now entering final stages of commissioning[1].

Summary
An EfW facility based upon Gasification technology with AD, a MRF bulking facility and an HWRC on the same site. The Charlton Lane site (also known as Surrey Eco Park) has forecast operational capacity of 60,000 tonnes per annum for the Gasification alone (with around 40,000 tonnes per annum in the AD plant). It was reported that the first waste for hot commissioning was accepted in late 2019 with the Gasification facility now entering final stages of commissioning[2].
Technology
The plant is a single line, fluidised bed Gasification plant by Outotec, generating super-heated steam.
Construction
The plant commenced construction in summer 2015 under a turnkey EPC contract with MW High Tech Projects UK. The current EfW plant is not reported as fully commissioned as yet. Three former directors of MW High Tech Projects UK are presently being sued by the company for entering into the contract at £71m when it is alleged it should have been in excess of £100m[3].
Waste Input
The plant is designed to run on residual Household Waste under a PFI contract with Surrey and some residual Commercial Waste.
