Summary
An EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology and considered an ERF based on its R1 status. Severnside ERC (also known as SERC) has a permitted operational capacity of 400,000 tonnes per annum, and is owned and operated by West London Energy Recovery Ltd a company set up for the purpose by Suez. Delivery of waste is primarily by rail and the facility processes primarily residual Household Waste and some Commercial Waste.
History
The Riverside ERC was built primarily to service a 25 year PPP contract signed in 2013 with WLWA [1], with anticipated input of around 300,000 tonnes per annum i.e the majority of the tonnage. Additional tonnage has also been secured from the West of England Partnership and Devon County Council.The Residual Waste from WLWA is loaded at two rail-linked transfer stations in Brentford and South Ruislip prior to its transport to Severnside ERC.
In January 2020 Suez requested an alteration to the facilities Environmental Permit seeking a 100,000 tonne per yr increase to its processing capacity. If successful the plant will, in the future, be able to process 500,000 tonnes per year. [2]
Plant
Built by Hitachi Zosen Inova under a Design & Build EPC-turnkey contract and was delivered in 2016 at a GBP £240m capital cost. The plant comprises 2 lines of 21.85 tonnes/hour (maximum 24.24 tonnes/hour) design capacity capable of treating 350,000 tonnes per annum via standard combustion technology, air cooled, Hitachi Zosen Inova Grate, generating super-heated steam. It is configured to run on residual Household Waste and Commercial Waste with a CV of between 7.5 and 12.5MJ/kg to deliver 37.5MWe of power [3]. Operating at the maximum design tonnes/ hour figure would result in a capacity close to 400,000 tonnes per annum, but this would require a low CV.
