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. | 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]].

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). | 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.
