==Summary==

An [[EfW]] facility based upon conventional combustion technology and considered an [[ERF]] based on its [[R1]] status. The Allington site, has permitted operational capacity of 500,000 tonnes per annum, and is operated by [[Kent Enviropower]] a subsidiary of [[FCC Environment~~]] and [[Urbaser]] in a partnership with [[Herefordshire Council| Herefordshire]] and [[Worcestershire County Council|Worcestershire~~]]. Delivery of waste is by road and the facility processes primarily residual [[Household Waste]] and some [[Commercial Waste]]<ref>[http://www.fccenvironment.co.uk/green-energy/envirecover/ FCC Environment Website]</ref>.

==History==

The EnviRecover facility was built primarily to service ~~a 25 year~~ [[~~PFI]] contract signed in 1998 between and [[Herefordshire~~ Council~~| Herefordshire~~]] and ~~[[Worcestershire County Council|Worcestershire]] , with anticipated total throughput of up to 230,000 tonnes per annum (modified in planning from its original 200,000 tonnes per annum capacity)~~. A planning application consultation was started in October 2019 to extend the capacity from 5000,000 tonnes per annum by 350,000 tonnes per annum, to a total of 850,000 tonnes per annum<re>[https://www.letsrecycle.com/news/latest-news/fcc-proposes-allington-efw-upgrade/ Letsrecycle Website]</ref>. It is located at the 20/20 Business Park near Maidstone, Kent, in the old Allington Quarry.

~~==Plant==~~

Built by [[Lentjes]] under a turnkey contract, with buildings delivered by [[Hochtief]]. The facility commenced construction in April 2004 and began operation in December 2008 after extended commissioning<ref>[https://www.letsrecycle.com/news/latest-news/allington-technology-defended-as-repairs-near-end/ Letsrecycle Article]</ref> at a GBP £125m capital cost, generating 43MWe of power, of which 34WMe is exported<ref>[https://kentenviropower.fccenvironment.co.uk/our-facility/ Kent Enviropower Website]</ref>.

The plant comprises 3 lines with a design capacity capable of treating 500,000 tonnes per annum via standard combustion technology, using fluidised bed technology ROWITEC, generating super-heated steam, and is configured to run on residual [[Household Waste]] and [[Commercial Waste]] (the technology being capable of operating in a range of [[CV]] of between 6.5 and 30.0 MJ/kg<ref>https://mafiadoc.com/rowitec-fluidized-bed_5a2b2dad1723dd3d745e24de.html/ Lentjes Website</ref> in a range of applications).

The plant comprises 3 lines with a design capacity capable of 21.4 tonnes/hour each equivalent to around 526,000 tonnes per annum via standard combustion technology. It uses fluidised bed technology ROWITEC, generating super-heated steam, and is configured to run on residual [[Household Waste]] and [[Commercial Waste]] which is pre-processed to meet the needs of the technology (the technology being capable of operating in a range of [[CV]] of between 6.5 and 30.0 MJ/kg<ref>[https://mafiadoc.com/rowitec-fluidized-bed_5a2b2dad1723dd3d745e24de.html/ Lentjes Website]</ref> in a range of applications).
