==Summary==

An [[EfW]] facility based upon conventional combustion technology ~~and presently in advanced construction.~~ Avonmouth RRC has forecast operational capacity of 320,000 tonnes per annum, operated and owned by [[Viridor]]. Delivery of waste is by road and the facility will processes primarily residual [[Household Waste]] and some [[Commercial Waste]]<ref>[https://www.viridor.co.uk/energy/energy-recovery-facilities/avonmouth-rrc/ Viridor Website]</ref>

==History==

The Avonmouth RRC facility started construction in summer 2017 and has secured tonnage from [[Somerset Waste Partnership]] through the extension of their existing [[PPP]] of around 100,000 tonnes per annum and ~~recently~~<ref> [https://www.letsrecycle.com/news/latest-news/viridor-suez-and-etm-agree-west-of-england-contracts/ Letsrecycle Aricle]</ref> ~~secured~~ tonnage through competitive tender for [[Residual Waste]] from the [[West of England Partnership]], replacing the existing [[PPP]] contract with [[New Earth Solutions]]/[[Panda]] [[MBT]] plant. The balance of the [[West of England Partnership]] [[Residual Waste]] tonnage for [[EfW]] of 50,000 tonnes per annum has been secured by [[Suez]] facility at its [[Riverside Resource Recovery Facility (RRRF)]], located close to the Avonmouth RRC facility.

The plant ~~is being~~ built by a JV between [[CNIM]] and [[Clugson]] (although [[Clugson]] went into administration in December 2019<ref>[https://www.constructionnews.co.uk/financial/administrations/clugston-insider-efw-projects-caused-losses-10-12-2019/ Construction News Article]</ref> ~~it is reported that~~ [[CNIM]] ~~will take on the employees~~ to ~~be able to complete existing projects~~<ref>[https://www.~~mrw~~.co.uk/~~latest/cnim~~-to-~~protect~~-~~five~~-~~efw-projects-after~~-~~clugston~~-~~collapse~~/~~10045792.article?search=https%3a%2f%2fwww.mrw.co.uk%2fsearcharticles%3fkeywords%3davonmouth+efw MRW Article~~]</ref>) under a Design & Build [[EPC]]-turnkey contract ~~which started in 2007~~ at a ~~forecast~~ £252m ~~capital cost~~.

The plant is assumed to be similar to [[Viridor]]'s [[Ardley EfW]], comprising 2 lines of 20 tonnes/hour design capacity capable of treating 300,000 tonnes per annum via standard combustion technology Martin Reverse Acting Grate, generating super-heated steam, configured to run on primarily residual [[Household Waste]].
