Plant Description
Built by Vinci Environment UK (a 50/50 subsidiary of Vinci Construction UK and Vinci Environment) under a Design & Build-turnkey contract, construction started in early 2015 and was completed in March 2018 at a reported[3] GBP £183m capital cost.
The plant comprises 2 lines of 20 tonnes/hour with a design capacity capable of treating 330,000 tonnes per annum via standard combustion technology, air cooled, Vinci Grate, generating super-heated steam, and is configured to run on residual Household Waste and Commercial Waste delivering 25 MWe of power[4].
History
The Allerton facility was built primarily to service a 25 year PPP contract signed in 2010 between and North Yorkshire County Council and York City Council, for 230,000 tones per annum of the anticipated total throughput of up to 320,000 tonnes per annum.
The plant has an integrated Mechanical Biological Treatment process with mechanical sorting of organics for subsequent processing in Anaerobic Digestion and then EfW of the RDF material produced[2].
