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 from the rail network. Due to the hazardous nature of this particular material, 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 plant has expanded to take a wider range of hazardous Wood Waste beyond the originally intended railway sleepers[1], including other treated Wood Waste:

  • Creosote wood waste
  • Copper Chromium Arsenic (CCA) wood waste
  • Tanalised wood waste
  • Cooling tower wood waste
  • Demolition wood waste
  • Marine timber waste
  • Utility poles
  • Telegraph poles

Tonnage Input/Fuel

The tonnage received by the plant in the most recent Annual Sustainability Report for 2018-19[2] was reported by Ofgem as follows:

Biomass Tonnage (2018-19)
Wood Waste 1,507
Other 0
Total 1,507

The plant utilizes hazardous Wood Waste from the rail network and other commercial and industrial sources. The Wood Waste 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 was 5,417 tonnes.
