Riverside Resource Recovery Facility (RRRF)
An EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology and considered an ERF based on its R1 status. Riverside Resource Recovery Facility (RRRF) has permitted operational capacity of 750,000 tonnes per annum, operated by Cory Riverside Energy. Delivery of waste is primarily by barge on the River Thames, with some tonnage by road, and the facility processes primarily residual Household Waste and some Commercial Waste[1].

Summary
An EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology and considered an ERF based on its R1 status. Riverside Resource Recovery Facility (RRRF) has permitted operational capacity of 750,000 tonnes per annum, operated by Cory Riverside Energy. Delivery of waste is primarily by barge on the River Thames, with some tonnage by road, and the facility processes primarily residual Household Waste and some Commercial Waste[3].
History
The Riverside facility was built primarily to service a 30 year PPP contract signed in 2002 with WRWA, with anticipated total throughput of up to 585,000 tonnes per annum - receiving additional residual Commercial Waste and some Household Waste from other local authorities, primarily via river-based transfer facilities. It is located on the banks of the River Thames at Belvedere, in Bexley. In June 2018 Cory Riverside Energy was sold to a consortium of investors, including Dalmore Capital, Fiera Infrastructure, Semperian PPP Investment Partners and Swiss Life Asset Managers[4] with a second plant planned on an adjacent site currently in the planning process[5].
Plant
Built by Hitachi Zosen Inova under a Design & Build EPC-turnkey contract which started in summer 2008 and was delivered in 2010 at a reported [6] EU400m capital cost. The plant comprises 3 lines of 31.8 tonnes/hour design capacity capable of treating 585,000 tonnes per annum via standard combustion technology, air cooled, Hitachi Zosen Inova Grate R-1000104, generating super-heated steam, and is configured to run on primarily residual Household Waste with a CV of between 7 and 13MJ/kg to deliver 65MWe of power.
Local Authority Data
The table below lists those local authorities who have recorded their tonnage on WasteDataFlow as sending their Waste to this site (either directly or via a transfer station) for the most recent financial year, data was updated on Error: no local variable "updated" has been set.. 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). The total Local Authority waste received by the plant in the period was: 0t
A 'zero return' or a below expected return, when compared to the EA Data below indicates that either:
- no local authority tonnage was recorded/no tonnage was sent to the site in the period (but has been listed as it may have previously received tonnage from a local authority) or
- a result of the plant being recently commissioned and actually having received no tonnage or
- a lower than expected tonnage maybe a result of a local authority splitting their tonnage over multiple sites, having less tonnage to send than might be anticipated or
- it may be 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 or
- the local authority may not have correctly entered the site's details on WasteDataFlow

Waste Tonnage, By Origin
The table shows a list of the Waste for the Permit BK0825UI, that has arrived into sites as reported to the Regulator and then publicised in their reported statistics. The Data used is from the most recent returns. The total reported tonnage arriving at the site was: Expression error: Unexpected < operator.t.
Where this tonnage exceeds that reported in year of the corresponding annual report, this may be due to the following reasons:
- Tonnage may have been received but not incinerated, i.e. the material is held pending incineration (the operator return to the EA reports as received whereas the annual report focuses on when the waste is incinerated.)
- Material may have been received into the site but treated in some other way than incineration.
- Material may have been received on the but transferred out of site for disposal/treatment at another site rather than incineration on the site.
