Summary
An EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology and considered an ERF based on its R1 status. The Kirklees site has permitted operational capacity of 160,000 tonnes per annum, and is owned and operated by Suez. Delivery of waste is by road and the facility processes primarily residual Household Waste and some Commercial Waste.
History
The Kirklees facility, in Huddersfield, was built primarily to service Kirklees Metropolitan Council under a 25 year PFI contract, signed in 1998 and due for completion in 2023 - but with the option to extend for five years to 2028 (and potentially operate to 2036)[1].
Plant
The plant is assumed to have been built by Lentjes (renamed Lurgi in 2006 and sold to A-Tec Industries AG in 2007) under a turnkey contract with a similar approach to Allington EFW. The facility commenced operation in 2002. The plant is 1 line with a design capacity capable of 17 tonnes/hour equivalent to around 139,000 tonnes per annum. Electricity is generated via standard combustion technology, utiliziing fluidised bed technology ROWITEC, generating super-heated steam, and is configured to run on residual Household Waste and Commercial Waste. The technology is understood to be capable of operating in a range of CV of between 6.5 and 30.0 MJ/kg depending on configuration[2].
Local Authority Users
The following represents those local authorities recorded as putting tonnage into the site (either directly or via a transfer station). The tonnage received cannot be directly compared with the stated historical tonnage received and recorded in the EA statistics as these are recorded on a calendar year basis (i.e. January 2018 to December 2018). A 'zero return' below indicates no local authority tonnage was recorded, most likely a result of the plant being recently commissioned and actually having received no tonnage. Equally, lower than expected tonnage maybe a result of either a new plant being in 'ramp up' towards full capacity after construction, or may be a result of plant shut down and subsequent re-start in a year.
