Plant Description
The plant comprises two lines via standard combustion CNIM grate and boilers, generating super-heated steam, and is configured to run on primarily residual Household Waste and similar residual Commercial Waste with design capability of 6 tonnes per hour or up to 99,000 tonnes per annum and generating 7 MWe[3].
History
The Dudley facility was built to primarily service residual Household Waste from Dudley Council under a long term PPP contract and has been operational since 1998.
The facility was operated by MES Environmental, part of Paprec, having agreed to buy out CNIM in March 2021[1]. At that time the plant was operated by North Midlands Operations Ltd (a subsidiary of Cobalt Energy)[2][3].
In early 2024 a contract was awarded [3] for the operation of the facility to Urbaser (which was subsequently acquired by FCC) [4].
