Summary
An EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology which is considered an ERF as a result of having R1 status. Peterborough has permitted operational capacity of 85,000 tonnes per annum, operated and owned by Viridor. Delivery of waste is by road and the facility processes primarily residual Household Waste [1].
History
The Peterborough facility was built to primarily service residual Household Waste from Peterborough under a 30 year PPP contract. It is located close to Peterborough Power Station in Fengate, and commenced operation in December 2015.
Plant
Built by a JV between Interserve and Babcox & Wilcox Volund A/S as a turnkey EPC contract, which started in summer 2013 and was delivered in December 2015 at a reported [2] £74m capital cost. The plant comprises one line via standard combustion B&W Volund proprietary Dynagrate technology, generating super-heated steam, and is configured to run on primarily residual Household Waste and similar residual Commercial Waste with design capability up to 85,000 tonnes per annum and generating 7.25MWe based on CV of 9MJ/kg [3].
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.
