Summary

The Javelin Park EfW is located in Gloucestershire next to the M5 motorway to the south of Gloucester. It utilises combustion technology to convert 190,000 tonnes per year of municiple residual waste supplied by Gloucestershire County Council into electricity. This facility diverts over 90% of the county’s residual waste from landfill, producing 14.5 MW electricity to be exported to the grid. Urbaser Ltd. and Balfour Beatty are partners in a joint venture as Urbaser Balfour Beatty that developed, constructed and continues to operate this EfW that has been operational since autumn 2019.

History

Urbaser Balfour Beatty was selected by Gloucestershire County Council as the preferred bidder for the 25 year contract to design, build and operate Javelin Park EfW in December 2011. Planning permission for the facility was granted in January 2015, allowing construction of the facility to commence in September 2016 that was predicted to take up to 35 months. In June 2019 the facility began to accept waste during its commissioning stage, with the construction and commissioning of Javelin Park being completed and full operations beginning in January 2020.

Plant

The plant employs inclined moving grate combustion technology. 2.9 MW of the gross generated electricity of 17.4 MW produced by the facility provides electricity needed to sustain its operation, with the remainder 14.5 MW exported to the grid.

The facility runs continuously 24/7 with a planned shutdown for around two weeks each year for maintenance.

The contract between Gloucestershire County Council and Urbaser Balfour Beatty for the development and operation of this facility has a worth of £500 million.

From this process, there are two solid waste products: Incinerator Bottom Ash (IBA), which is processed to recover metals that have passed through the system and is then graded for recycling on-site, and lime-based residues from the flue gas treatment system, which are taken off site for treatment and disposal.
