An integrated [[EfW]] facility with other treatment technologies, with the [[EfW]] based upon [[Gasification]] technology and considered an [[ERF]] based on its [[R1]] status. The [[EfW]] element of the facility at Glasgow has permitted operational capacity of 150,000 tonnes per annum, operated and owned by [[Viridor]]. Delivery of waste is by road to a regeneration site at Polmadie in the south of the city <ref>[https://www.viridor.co.uk/energy/energy-recovery-facilities/glasgow-rrec/ Viridor Website]</ref>. | |||
==History== | ==History== | ||
The Glasgow facility was built as an integrated solution primarily to service a 25 year [[PPP]] contract with [[Glasgow City Council]] signed in July 2012 to process around 350,000 tonnes per annum. The facility diverts around 200,000 tonnes per annum from [[Landfill]] via a combination of [[Mechanical Biological Treatment]] including [[Anaerobic Digestion]], with the [[RDF]] output sent to the [[ATT]]/[[Gasification]] facility with a capacity listed of 150,000 tonnes per annum and power output of 15MWe. | |||

Originally built by [[Interserve]] under an [[EPC]] contract which started in 2013 (with a 2016 completion date) with the [[Gasification]] technology delivered by [[Energos]], the contract was terminated due to 'repeated delays', and was completed by [[Doosan Babcock]] in late summer 2019. Originally estimated to cost £154m by Viridor, they reported an over run of £95m <ref>[https://www.mrw.co.uk/latest/viridor-to-lose-95m-on-its-glasgow-efw-project/10029534.article MRW Article]</ref>, and the accumulated losses by [[Interserve]] in this and the [[Sinfin Lane]] project led to [[Interserve]] exciting the [[EfW]] market in early 2017<ref>[https://www.letsrecycle.com/news/latest-news/interserve-to-be-investigated-over-efw-exit/ Letsrecycle Article]</ref> | |||
