Summary
An EfW facility based upon conventional combustion technology and considered an ERF based on its R1 status. Trident Park has permitted operational capacity of 425,000 tonnes per annum, operated and owned by Viridor. Delivery of waste is by road and and the facility processes primarily residual Household Waste and some Commercial Waste[1]
History
The Ardley facility was built primarily to service a 25 year PPP contract signed in March 2011 with Oxfordshire County Council, with anticipated total throughput of up to 326,000 tonnes per annum - receiving additional residual Commercial Waste and some Household Waste from other local authorities. It is located on Viridor's Landfill near Bicester, close to the M40, and with the opening of the facility Viridor announced the closure of the adjacent Landfill in 2014.
Plant
Built by a JV between CNIM and Clugson under a Design & Build EPC-turnkey contract which started in March 2011 and was delivered in November 2014[2] at a reported [3] £220m capital cost. The plant comprises 2 lines of 20 tonnes/hour design capacity capable of treating 300,000 tonnes per annum via standard combustion technology generating super-heated steam, and is configured to run on primarily residual Household Waste
