Summary
An EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology and considered an ERF based on its R1 status. Located in Birmingham, Tyseley ERF has a permitted operational capacity of 350,000 tonnes per annum, exporting 25 MW to the grid after the plants own power needs are supplied for. The plant is owned and operated by Veolia. The waste feedstock utilised at the plant is primarily Municipal Solid Waste originating from Birmingham[2].
History
Veolia signed a 25-year contract with Birmingham City Council in 1993 for the delivery of the facility[3]. The facility was built in 1996 by Veolia, just to the east of Birmingham City Centre in order to treat waste that cannot be re-used, recycled or composted[2]. Prior to the Waste Incineration Directive came into force in 2005, Fichtner provided engineering and project management support to Veolia to enable the plant to meet the new standards of the WID[4].
Plant
Veolia ES Birmingham has a Non-Fossil Fuel Obligation (NFFO) contract under a government scheme to support renewable energy, subsequently a large proportion of this financial benefit passes to the City Council. Tyseley ERF comprises of 2 lines, each able to process 23.5 tonnes of waste per hour, equivalent to 386,000 tonnes per annum, with a turbo-generator exporting 25 MW to the grid[2].
Local Authority Users
The following data comes from WasteDataFlow for the financial year 2018/19 and 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.
