Summary

A Biomass Waste EFW facility permitted to incinerate up to 35,000 tonnes per annum of Wood Waste generating 3.0MWe to the grid.

The Trackwork site was developed by Trackwork Ltd to process used railway sleepers and, due to their hazardous nature, the site is permitted as a hazardous waste incinerator. The permit was consolidated with an adjacent transfer station and processing site in November 2010, the consolidated permit allows up to 12,500 tonnes per year on non-hazardous and 42,000 tonnes per year of material to be handled.

Plant

The project was delivered by URBAS Energietechnik, using their combustion grate technology[1] at a reported capital cost of £14m[2].

Local Authority Users

The plant utilizes Wood Waste from an adjacent sawmill, and receives no local authority wood.
