Summary
An EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology and considered an ERF based on its R1 status. Trident Park has permitted operational capacity of 425,000 tonnes per annum, operated and owned by Viridor. Delivery of waste is by road and the facility processes primarily residual Household Waste and some Commercial Waste[2]
History
The Trident Park facility was built primarily to service a 25 year PPP contract signed in December 2013 [3] by Cardiff on behalf of the Prosiect Gwyrdd (Project Green) partnership of five local authorities in South Wales ( Cardiff, Newport, Monmouthshire, Vale of Glamorgan and Caerphilly), with an anticipated input of 172,000 tonnes per annum of the total design capacity of 350,000 tonnes per annum - receiving additional residual Commercial Waste. It is located in Cardiff bay and has been operational since 2014.
Plant
Built by CNIM and Lagan which started in Spring 2012 and was delivered in 2014[4] at a reported [5] £206m capital cost. The plant comprises 2 lines via standard combustion technology Martin Reverse Acting Grate, generating super-heated steam, and is configured to run on primarily residual Household Waste and similar residual Commercial Waste.
Local Authority Users
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 2023-04-26. 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: 281,520.04t
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
