An [[EfW]] facility based upon conventional [[combustion]] technology and considered an [[ERF]] based on its [[R1]] status. The '''North Hykenham Energy from Waste facility''', as its also known, has a permitted operational capacity of 190,000 tonnes per annum, and is owned and operated by FCC Environment. The waste arrives on 10 and 25 tonne collection vehicles from the local Lincoln area and five [[transfer station]]s based in Boston, Gainsborough, Grantham, Louth and Sleaford. <ref name="NH">https://www.fccenvironment.co.uk/green-energy/lincoln/</ref> The facility processes primarily residual [[Household Waste]] and some [[Commercial Waste]]. | |||

The North Hykenham facility was built to primarily service [[Lincolnshire County Council]] under a 25 yr contract; with Lincolnshire choosing to use the [[Prudential Borrowing]] mechanism rather than the usual [[PFI]] route it had the option to take. [[Prudential Borrowing]] meant that the £135m costs were funded by a loan from the [[National Loans Fund]] linked to [[HM Treasury]].<ref name="LetsR">https://www.letsrecycle.com/news/latest-news/cable-praises-renewable-efw-opening-lincolnshire-plant/</ref> | The North Hykenham facility was built to primarily service [[Lincolnshire County Council]] under a 25 yr contract; with Lincolnshire choosing to use the [[Prudential Borrowing]] mechanism rather than the usual [[PFI]] route it had the option to take.

The facility consists of one incinerator line with a total annual capacity of 154,000 tonnes per year (19.24tph) of waste materials with a design average lower calorific value (LCV) of approximately 9.3 MJ/Kg. Moving grate technology is used for burning the waste material. <ref name="AR"/> | The facility consists of one incinerator line with a total annual capacity of 154,000 tonnes per year (19.24tph) of waste materials with a design average lower [[Calorific Value|calorific value]] (LCV) of approximately 9.3 MJ/Kg.
