==Summary==
==Summary==
A [[Biomass Waste EFW]] facility permitted to incinerate up to 35,000 tonnes per annum of [[Wood Waste]] generating 3.0MWe to the grid.
A [[Biomass Waste EFW]] facility [[Trackwork Waste and Thermal Treatment Facility]] is permitted to incinerate up to 35,000 tonnes per annum of [[Wood Waste]] generating 3.0MWe to the grid.


The Trackwork site was developed by [[Trackwork Ltd]] to process used railway sleepers and, due to their hazardous nature, the site is permitted as a hazardous waste incinerator. The permit was consolidated with an adjacent transfer station and processing site in November 2010, the consolidated permit allows up to 12,500 tonnes per year on non-hazardous and 42,000 tonnes per year of material to be handled.  
The Trackwork site was developed by [[Trackwork Ltd]] to process used railway sleepers from the rail network. Due to the hazardous nature of this particular material, the site is permitted as a hazardous waste incinerator. The permit was consolidated with an adjacent transfer station and processing site in November 2010, the consolidated permit allows up to 12,500 tonnes per year on non-hazardous and 42,000 tonnes per year of material to be handled.

==Plant==
The project was delivered by [[URBAS Energietechnik]], using their combustion grate technology<ref>[https://www.urbas.at/en/projects/glennon-brothers-ltd/ URBAS Website]</ref> at a reported capital cost of £14m<ref>[http://glennonbrothers.ie/press/Cabinet_Minister_Ewing_visits_Troon_2017.html Glennon Brothers Website]</ref>.
The plant was reported as becoming operational in 2010 and was built at a cost of £8m<ref>https://www.ttjonline.com/news/hazardous-wood-waste-plant-throws-the-switch</ref>.

==Local Authority Users==
The plant has expanded to take a wider range of hazardous [[Wood Waste]] beyond the originally intended railway sleepers from [[Network Rail]] including commercial and industrial sources<ref>[http://www.trackwork.co.uk/recycling/hazardous-treated-wood-disposal/ Trackwork Website]</ref>, including the following treated [[Wood Waste]]:
The plant utilizes [[Wood Waste]] from an adjacent sawmill, and receives no local authority wood.
* Creosote wood waste
* Copper Chromium Arsenic (CCA) wood waste
* Tanalised wood waste
* Cooling tower wood waste
* Demolition wood waste
* Marine timber waste
* Utility poles
* Telegraph poles
