Plant Description
The ERF is situated adjacent to the Portsmouth MRF[1].
Due to this EfW being located in an urban area, special consideration was given to its architectural design. This was given high priority throughout the development process, with a specialist architect designated to the project who developed a design of high architectural merit[2].
The combustion technology is the Martin GmbH reverse acting grate with a two lines[3].
The EPC contractor to build the plant was CNIM, who also supplied the semi-dry lime scrubber for treatment of the flue gas which is followed by high performance bag filters, discharging into a 65 metre high chimney[2].
History
This facility was been developed and continues to be managed under the 28-year Public Private Partnership contract with Hampshire County Council, Southampton City Council and Portsmouth City Council[1].
Portsmouth ERF completed construction and commissioning, and became operational in spring 2005, following this, in 2006 the Portsmouth ERF was presented with a Design Award by the Portsmouth Civic Society. The ERF has also gained the prestigious Edmund Hambly Medal award from the Institute of Civil Engineering for creative design in an engineering project that makes a substantial contribution to sustainable development[1].
