==Summary==

An EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology and considered an ERF based on its R1 status. Sheffield ERF has a permitted operational capacity of 245,000 tonnes per annum, it is a [[Combined Heat and Power]] (CHP) plant, exporting up to 21 MW electricity to the grid after the plants own power needs are supplied for, and producing up to 45 MW of heat fed into the District Energy Network. The plant is owned and operated by [[Veolia]]. The waste feedstock utilised at the plant is primarily residual waste arising from local households and businesses, and Local Authority services<ref>Veolia, 2011.

The combustion system is a Martin Reciprocating Grate with 5 rows and 13 steps, and the plant utilises a CNIM 4 Pass Vertical Boiler with Radiant Superheaters. The average [[Net Calorific Value]] (NCV) of the feedstock is 9.210 kJ/kg<ref>Veolia, 2007.
