Summary
The Levenseat facility comprises a MRF and the adjacent Levenseat EfW facility which is based upon Gasification technology. Levenseat EfW Phase 2 is the second phase of the EfW development which is adjacent to the current facility. The capacity is reported as 42 tonnes per hour through the MRF (or around 215,000 tonnes per annum) producing RDF for the adjacent EfW plant of around 100,000 tonnes per annum[1].
Levenseat Renewable Energy Limited is an offshoot of Levenseat Ltd and had investment from Green Investment Bank (subsequently acquired by Bioenergy Infrastrucutre Group[2]), Foresight Group and Zouk Capital and debt from Investec Bank when it reached financial close in March 2015 for GBP£111m[3][4].
Technology
The plant is a single line, fluidised bed Gasification plant by Outotec, generating super-heated steam[5] to drive a turbine to generate electricity to the grid. Levenseat EfW Phase 2 received planning consent in late 2020 to vary its consent and approach to a conventional combustion technology and an increase to its capacity to 135MW thermal[6].
Construction
The plant commenced construction in 2015 under a turnkey EPC contract with MW High Tech Projects UK. After an extended commissioning period the EfW plant was reported as achieving take over in late November 2020[7].
Waste Input
The plant is designed to run on RDF manufactured from residual Household Waste and Commercial Waste, with preparation on site in the adjacent, larger scale MRF.
