Summary
An EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology and considered an ERF based on its R1 status. The Allington site, has permitted operational capacity of 500,000 tonnes per annum, and is operated by Kent Enviropower a subsidiary of FCC Environment and Urbaser in a partnership with Herefordshire and Worcestershire. Delivery of waste is by road and the facility processes primarily residual Household Waste and some Commercial Waste[1].
History
The EnviRecover facility was built primarily to service a 25 year PFI contract signed in 1998 between and Herefordshire and Worcestershire , with anticipated total throughput of up to 230,000 tonnes per annum (modified in planning from its original 200,000 tonnes per annum capacity). A planning application consultation was started in October 2019 to extend the capacity from 5000,000 tonnes per annum by 350,000 tonnes per annum, to a total of 850,000 tonnes per annum<re>Letsrecycle Website</ref>. It is located at the 20/20 Business Park near Maidstone, Kent, in the old Allington Quarry.
Plant
Built by Lentjes under a turnkey contract, with buildings delivered by Hochtief. The facility commenced construction in April 2004 and began operation in December 2008 after extended commissioning[2] at a GBP £125m capital cost, generating 43MWe of power, of which 34WMe is exported[3]. The plant comprises 3 lines with a design capacity capable of treating 500,000 tonnes per annum via standard combustion technology, using fluidised bed technology ROWITEC, generating super-heated steam, and is configured to run on residual Household Waste and Commercial Waste (the technology being capable of operating in a range of CV of between 6.5 and 30.0 MJ/kg[4] in a range of applications).
