An [[EfW]] facility based upon conventional [[combustion]] technology, [[Avonmouth RRC]] has a forecast operational capacity of 320,000 tonnes per annum, operated and owned by [[Viridor]].

==History== | ==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 secured<ref> [https://www.letsrecycle.com/news/latest-news/viridor-suez-and-etm-agree-west-of-england-contracts/ Letsrecycle Aricle]</ref> tonnage through competitive tender for [[Residual Waste]] from the [[West of England Partnership]], replacing the existing [[PPP]] contract with [[New Earth Solutions]]/[[Beauparc|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. | |||

The plant was built by a JV between [[CNIM]] and [[Clugson]] (although [[Clugson]] went into administration in December 2019<ref>[https://www.constructionnews.co.uk/financial/administrations/clugston-insider-efw-projects-caused-losses-10-12-2019/ Construction News Article]</ref>) and the plant was handed over by [[CNIM]] to Viridor in December 2020<ref>[https://www.viridor.co.uk/who-we-are/latest-news/2021-news/avonmouth-erf-handover/ Vridor Website]</ref> under a Design & Build [[EPC]]-turnkey contract at a cost of £252m. | |||
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]]. | |||
