The site was developed as a joint venture between Suez and Sembcorp and is operated by Suez.
It is located in Teeside on the Wilton International Industrial Estate and is discrete from Wilton 10 which is a Biomass Waste EFW project.
The Wilton 11 facility was built primarily to service a 30 year PPP contract signed in April 2013 with Merseyside [2], with anticipated input of 440,000 tonnes per annum i.e the majority of the tonnage.
Residual Waste is loaded at Knowsley Rail Transfer Station prior to its transport by rail to Wilton 11.
