Summary
An EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology which as yet does not have R1 status. Beddington has permitted operational capacity of 303,000 tonnes per annum, operated and owned by Viridor. Delivery of waste is by road and the facility processes primarily residual Household Waste and some Commercial Waste[1]
History
The Beddington facility was built primarily to service a 25 year PPP contract signed in November 2014 with the South London Waste Partnership comprising Croydon, Kingston, Merton, Richmond and Sutton receiving additional residual Commercial Waste. It is located in Sutton on Viridor's Landfill site which is due to close with the operation of the facility, which commenced in January 2020.
On the 9th December 2020 the Environment Agency dertermined a varitation of the permit and issued a 15% increase in the tonnage throughput from a maximum of 302,500 tonnes of waste per year to a maximum of 347,422 tonnes of waste per year.[2].
Plant
Built by CNIM and Lagan which started in 2015 and was delivered in January 2020 at a reported [3] £196m capital cost. The plant comprises 2 lines via standard combustion technology Martin Reverse Acting Grate, generating super-heated steam, and is configured to run on primarily residual Household Waste and similar residual Commercial Waste.
Local Authority Users
The Local Authority tonnage below is higher than the tonnage reported in the summary box on this page. This is a result of the Local Authority listing their tonnage under two separate permit numbers for the same site, whereas the summary box is for the tonnage specifically listed under the actual site permit.
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.
