Summary

An EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology and presently in advanced construction. Avonmouth RRC has forecast operational capacity of 320,000 tonnes per annum, operated and owned by Viridor. Delivery of waste is by road and the facility will processes primarily residual Household Waste and some Commercial Waste[1]

History

The Avonmouth RRC facility started construction in summer 2017 and has secured tonnage from Somerset Waste Partnership through the extension of their existing PPP of around 100,000 tonnes per annum and recently[2] secured tonnage through competitive tender for Residual Waste from the West of England Partnership, replacing the existing PPP contract with New Earth Solutions/Panda MBT plant. The balance of the West of England Partnership Residual Waste tonnage for EfW of 50,000 tonnes per annum has been secured by Suez facility at its Riverside Resource Recovery Facility (RRRF), located close to the Avonmouth RRC facility.

Plant

The plant is being built by a JV between CNIM and Clugson (although Clugson went into administration in December 2019[3] it is reported that CNIM will take on the employees to be able to complete existing projects[4]) under a Design & Build EPC-turnkey contract which started in 2007 at a forecast £252m capital cost. The plant is assumed to be similar to Viridor's Ardley EfW, comprising 2 lines of 20 tonnes/hour design capacity capable of treating 300,000 tonnes per annum via standard combustion technology Martin reverse acting grate, generating super-heated steam, configured to run on primarily residual Household Waste.
