Sinfin Lane
An integrated EfW facility with other treatment technology, with the EfW based upon Gasification technology and not considered an ERF based on not having R1 status. Sinfin Lane has permitted operational capacity of 190,000 tonnes per annum, although the EfW element of the facility is thought to be slightly less than this. It was developed by Resource Recovery Solutions, a subsidiary of Renewi, although it is reported that the contract has been terminated and a new operating partner is being sought[1] with the current site MOTHBALLED.

Summary
An integrated EfW facility with other treatment technology, with the EfW based upon Gasification technology and not considered an ERF based on not having R1 status. Sinfin Lane has permitted operational capacity of 190,000 tonnes per annum, although the EfW element of the facility is thought to be slightly less than this. It was developed by Resource Recovery Solutions, a subsidiary of Renewi, although it is reported that the contract has been terminated and a new operating partner is being sought[2] with the current site MOTHBALLED.
History
The Sinfin Lane facility was built as an integrated solution primarily to service a 27 year PPP contract with Derbyshire County Council and Derby City Council signed in July 2010 to process around 190,000 tonnes per annum and was due to run to 2042. The facility was designed to divert the 190,000 tonnes per annum from Landfill via a combination of Mechanical Biological Treatment, with the RDF output sent to the adjacent ATT/Gasification facility. The capacity of the ATT/Gasification was assumed to be slightly less than 190,000 tonnes per annum, operating over 3 lines[3] (the reported power output of 7.5MWe is more consistent with a single line 93,000 tonnes per annum plant as per Milton Keynes).
Plant
Originally built by Interserve under an EPC contract which started in 2014 (with a 2017 completion date) with the Gasification technology delivered by Energos, the contract was delayed through commissioning and the MBT plant suffered complaints of odour. Originally estimated to cost £145m as a joint venture between Interserve and Renewi and funded by the Green Investment Bank[4]. Due to the accumulated losses by Interserve on this project and the Glasgow project led to Interserve exiting the EfW market in early 2017[5]
Local Authority Data
The table below lists those local authorities who have recorded their tonnage on WasteDataFlow as sending their Waste to this site (either directly or via a transfer station) for the most recent financial year, data was updated on Error: no local variable "updated" has been set.. 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). The total Local Authority waste received by the plant in the period was: 0t
A 'zero return' or a below expected return, when compared to the EA Data below indicates that either:
- no local authority tonnage was recorded/no tonnage was sent to the site in the period (but has been listed as it may have previously received tonnage from a local authority) or
- a result of the plant being recently commissioned and actually having received no tonnage or
- a lower than expected tonnage maybe a result of a local authority splitting their tonnage over multiple sites, having less tonnage to send than might be anticipated or
- it may be 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 or
- the local authority may not have correctly entered the site's details on WasteDataFlow

Waste Tonnage, By Origin
The table shows a list of the Waste for the Permit KP3236HW, that has arrived into sites as reported to the Regulator and then publicised in their reported statistics. The Data used is from the most recent returns. The total reported tonnage arriving at the site was: Expression error: Unexpected < operator.t. Where this tonnage exceeds that reported in year of the corresponding annual report, this may be due to the following reasons:
- Tonnage may have been received but not incinerated, i.e. the material is held pending incineration (the operator return to the EA reports as received whereas the annual report focuses on when the waste is incinerated.)
- Material may have been received into the site but treated in some other way than incineration.
- Material may have been received on the but transferred out of site for disposal/treatment at another site rather than incineration on the site.
