Allerton Waste Recovery Park (EfW)

An EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology and considered an ERF based on its R1 status. The Allerton site has permitted operational capacity of 320,000 tonnes per annum, and is operated by AmeyCespa. Delivery of waste is by road and the facility processes primarily residual Household Waste and some Commercial Waste.

Amey Cespa Allerton

Summary

An EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology and considered an ERF based on its R1 status. The Allerton site has permitted operational capacity of 320,000 tonnes per annum, and is operated by AmeyCespa. Delivery of waste is by road and the facility processes primarily residual Household Waste and some Commercial Waste.

History

The Allerton facility was built primarily to service a 25 year PPP contract signed in 2010 between and North Yorkshire County Council and York City Council, for 230,000 tones per annum of the anticipated total throughput of up to 320,000 tonnes per annum. The plant has an integrated Mechanical Biological Treatment process with mechanical sorting of organics for subsequent processing in Anaerobic Digestion and then EfW of the RDF material produced.

Plant

Built by Vinci Environment UK (a 50/50 subsidiary of Vinci Construction UK and Vinci Environment) under a Design & Build-turnkey contract, construction started in early 2015 and was completed in March 2018 at a reported GBP £183m capital cost. The plant comprises 2 lines of 20 tonnes/hour with a design capacity capable of treating 330,000 tonnes per annum via standard combustion technology, air cooled, Vinci Grate, generating super-heated steam, and is configured to run on residual Household Waste and Commercial Waste delivering 25 MWe of power.

Local Authority Data

The table below lists those local authorities who have recorded their tonnage on WasteDataFlow as sending their Waste to this site (either directly or via a transfer station) for the most recent financial year, data was updated on . 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). The total Local Authority waste received by the plant in the period was: 0t

A 'zero return' or a below expected return, when compared to the EA Data below indicates that either:

• no local authority tonnage was recorded/no tonnage was sent to the site in the period (but has been listed as it may have previously received tonnage from a local authority) or
• a result of the plant being recently commissioned and actually having received no tonnage or
• a lower than expected tonnage maybe a result of a local authority splitting their tonnage over multiple sites, having less tonnage to send than might be anticipated or
• it may be 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 or
• the local authority may not have correctly entered the site's details on WasteDataFlow

Waste Tonnage, By Origin

The table shows a list of the Waste for the Permit KP3808PN, that has arrived into sites as reported to the Regulator and then publicised in their reported statistics. The Data used is from the most recent returns. The total reported tonnage arriving at the site was: t.

Where this tonnage exceeds that reported in year of the corresponding annual report, this may be due to the following reasons:

• Tonnage may have been received but not incinerated, i.e. the material is held pending incineration (the operator return to the EA reports as received whereas the annual report focuses on when the waste is incinerated.)
• Material may have been received into the site but treated in some other way than incineration.
• Material may have been received on the but transferred out of site for disposal/treatment at another site rather than incineration on the site.
