Summary
An EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology and considered an ERF based on its R1 status. Sheffield ERF has a permitted operational capacity of 245,000 tonnes per annum, it is a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plant, exporting up to 21 MW electricity to the grid after the plants own power needs are supplied for, and producing up to 45 MW of heat fed into the District Energy Network. The plant is owned and operated by Veolia. The waste feedstock utilised at the plant is primarily residual waste arising from local households and businesses, and Local Authority services[1].
History
Construction was finished and operations began in 2006[2]. Winner of the Golden Stack Award in 2007.
Plant
The facility was built as part of a 35-year integrated waste management contract PPP worth £1.3 billion between Veolia and Sheffield City Council spanning from 2001 to 2036[2]. However, in January 2017, Councillors in Sheffield voted to prematurely terminate and re-tender this contract from April 2018, including the operations of Sheffield ERF[3]. Despite this, Veolia continues to operate this facility.
The combustion system is a Martin GmbH Reciprocating Grate with 5 rows and 13 steps with a single line, and the plant utilises a CNIM 4 Pass Vertical Boiler with Radiant Superheaters. The average Net Calorific Value (NCV) of the feedstock is 9.210 kJ/kg[4].
Local Authority Users
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.
