==History==
==History==
The Kent Enviropower facility was built primarily to service [[Kent County Council]] under a 25 year [[PPP]] contract, but has also serviced adjacent local authorities, including [[Thurrock Borough Council]]. A planning application consultation was started in October 2019 to extend the current 500,000 tonnes per annum capacity by a further 350,000 tonnes per annum, to a total of 850,000 tonnes per annum<ref>[https://www.letsrecycle.com/news/latest-news/fcc-proposes-allington-efw-upgrade/ Letsrecycle Website]</ref>. It is located at the 20/20 Business Park near Maidstone, Kent, in the old Allington Quarry.

In 2020 [[FCC]] formed [[Green Recovery Projects Ltd]], a new company for its [[Energy from Waste]] portfolio to allow the subsequent sale of 49% to [[Icon Infrastructure]]. This included Allington EFW<ref>[https://www.letsrecycle.com/news/latest-news/icon-infrastructure-share-fcc-energy-from-wastes-energy-from-waste-plants/ Letsrecycle Article]</ref>.

The plant comprises 3 lines with a design capacity capable of 21.4 tonnes/hour each equivalent to around 526,000 tonnes per annum via standard combustion technology. It uses fluidised bed technology ROWITEC, generating super-heated steam, and is configured to run on residual [[Household Waste]] and [[Commercial Waste]] which is pre-processed to meet the needs of the technology (the technology being capable of operating in a range of [[CV]] of between 6.5 and 30.0 MJ/kg<ref>[https://mafiadoc.com/rowitec-fluidized-bed_5a2b2dad1723dd3d745e24de.html/ Lentjes Website]</ref> in a range of applications).

==Local Authority Users==
{{EfWLAData|EPR={{#var: epr}}}}
The following data comes from [[WasteDataFlow]] for the financial year 2018/19 and represents those local authorities recorded as putting tonnage into the site (either directly or via a transfer station). The tonnage received cannot be directly compared with the stated historical tonnage received and recorded in the [[EA]] statistics as these are recorded on a calendar year basis (i.e. January 2018 to December 2018). A 'zero return' below indicates no local authority tonnage was recorded, most likely a result of the plant being recently commissioned and actually having received no tonnage. Equally, lower than expected tonnage maybe a result of either a new plant being in 'ramp up' towards full capacity after construction, or may be a result of plant shut down and subsequent re-start in a year.
