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 up to 300,000 tonnes per year of material, of which around 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.

Tonnage Input/Fuel

The tonnage received by the plant is a mixture of Biomass and in the most recent Annual Sustainability Report for 2018-19[2] Ofgem reported the following fuel received (Wood Waste representing 32% of input):

Biomass Tonnage (2018-19)
Wood Waste 79,994
Sawmill Residues 56,026
Arboriculture and Forestry Residues 91,335
Virgin Wood (logs) 29,954
Total 250,309

The Wood Waste is exclusively supplied by UK Waste Wood Recycling which sources much of the Wood Waste from Waste Disposal Authorities. The Waste Wood 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) and were 60,898 tonnes.
