==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<ref>[https://www.ecoparksurrey.uk/news/updates/november-to-december-2019-local-stakeholder-update EcoPark Surrey Website]</ref>.

==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<ref>[https://www.mrw.co.uk/news/director-trio-sued-over-320m-waste-project-losses-01-08-2022/?eea=*EEA*&eea=Y3pSOGJOdFFNTkw2MERxVHkyWGptYkY4WXR2QzZNVzRaWGJUR0RRNFVIdz0%3D&utm_source=acs&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=FABS_MRW_EDI_SUBS_Daily_02082022&deliveryName=DM64623 MRW Article Accessed August 2022]</ref>.
