Summary
A Biomass Waste EFW facility based upon the co-firing of Wood Waste, virgin wood, forestry processing rejects and energy crops to generate 30MWe and 10MWth of energy for use in the grid and the adjacent Sembcorp site, as an ancillary operation to their 197MW Wilton Power Station[1]. The plant consumes 300,000 tonnes per year of material, of which 80,000 tonnes is Wood Waste supplied by UK Waste Wood Recycling, a subsidiary of Enva, from a nearby separate site.
The Wilton 10 facility was developed by Sembcorp Energy UK and was operational in the autumn of 2007 and at the time was the first large scale biomass power station to be built. It is located in Teeside on the Wilton International Industrial Estate and is discrete from Wilton 11 which is a Residual Waste EFW project.
Plant
Built under an EPC contract with Foster wheeler for a reported $55m (excluding the turbine and power island supplied by Siemens), the standard combustion technology is based on a fluidised bed system.
Local Authority Users
The waste is exclusively supplied by UK Waste Wood Recycling which sources much of the Wood Waste from local authorities. 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.
