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 owned and operated by Kent Enviropower a subsidiary of FCC Environment. Delivery of waste is by road and the facility processes primarily residual Household Waste and some Commercial Waste[1].
History
The EnviRecover facility was built primarily to service Kent County Council and adjacent local authorities. 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[2]. It is located at the 20/20 Business Park near Maidstone, Kent, in the old Allington Quarry.
Plant
Built by Lentjes (renamed Lurgi in 2006 and sold to A-Tec Industries AG in 2007) 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[3] at a GBP £150m capital cost, generating 43MWe of power, of which 34WMe is exported[4]. 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[5] in a range of applications).
