Summary

Eastcroft EfW (Lines 1 & 2), located in Nottingham has been in operated by FCC Environment since 1998. A third line with a new boiler and combustion system for this facility is currently under construction which will add a capacity of 140,000 tpa of waste to the existing 160,000 tpa capacity provided by lines 1 & 2. The additional third line was initially granted planning permission in February 2009 for 100,000 tpa, but a new planning consent was granted in 2016, allowing the extension to provide 140,000 tpa of additional capacity.

FCC Environment awarded the contract to develop this new line to SLR Consulting, an international environmental, waste management and energy consultancy company.

The facility is operated under a three party agreement between FCC, Nottingham City Council and Nottingham County Council, with the waste capacity provided by all three.

Technology

The extension line will utilise conventional combustion technology. This EfW produces stream as an output from the recovery process, that is then delivered to public buildings and 4,600 domestic premises in Nottingham through a pipeline to EnviroEnergy Limited, a company wholly owned by the city council. Any excess steam is used to produce electrcity to meet the power demands of the plant and to be fed into the grid.

Construction

The EPC contractor for the extension is Dr Born – Dr Ermel, working alongside SLR Consulting.

Waste Input

The primary feedstock will mainly be municipal solid waste derived locally from Nottingham.
