Plant Description and Design

The EFW facility has a total capacity of approximately 49.7 MW (thermal input) and is capable of generating up to 13.1 MWe of electrical power, the majority of which is exported to the National Grid. Provision has been made to supply additional heat in the form of up to 10 MWth when a commercial scheme becomes available to take the heat.

The facility consists of one incinerator line with a total annual permitted capacity of 190,000 tonnes per year.

Summary of Operational Processes and Procedures

Waste material burned at the facility is residual (i.e. waste that has had recyclable and re- usable materials source segregated) and commercial and industrial (C&I) waste derived from residential, commercial and industrial sources. All waste material for processing received at the facility is non-hazardous with the exception within 2019 where the site accepted some from the NHS where a critical shortage of capacity for clinical waste ('orange bag') was experienced.

Waste material arrives by road and is weighed before proceeding into the tipping hall where it is tipped into the waste bunker of sufficient capacity to hold several days waste inputs.

Moving grate technology is used for burning the waste material. The furnace design ensures that a temperature of at least 850°C for a period of at least two seconds is achieved in the combustion chamber. To ensure that the temperature does not fall below 850°C auxiliary burners firing fuel oil are automatically triggered by online process monitoring equipment.

Hot gases from the furnace pass into a boiler. Steam raised in the boiler is passed to a turbine to generate electricity. Combustion gases are cleaned before they are released to atmosphere. There are four components to the gas cleaning abatement technique; - Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction (SNCR) involving the injection of ammonia into the combustion chamber above the flame providing for the abatement of nitrogen oxides. - Dry hydrated lime re-agent injected to neutralise acid gas compounds. - Activated carbon injected to absorb heavy metals, dioxins and furans. - Bag filtration to remove fine particulates. The residues of the bag filters are collected and directed to a residues silo. Part of the residues are recycled to the reagent injection points to ensure maximum usage of the lime content.

Cleaned flue gases exiting the abatement system of the incinerator line are discharged through the 75m tall stack. Gases are continuously monitored for particulate matter, oxides of nitrogen, sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide, total organic carbon, hydrogen chloride and ammonia. Monitoring for heavy metals, dioxins, nitrous oxide and hydrogen fluoride is carried out periodically.

Under normal circumstances there are no liquid effluent emissions from the incinerator. Water arising from boiler blowdown and water treatment backwash is recycled to the Incinerator Bottom Ash (IBA) quench. Water surplus to the requirements of quenching is discharged to the sewerage system.

All plant areas are surfaced to the appropriate standards for the activities within those areas. All liquid tanks and drums whose emissions to water or land could cause pollution, are contained in adequate bunding constructed in line with industry best practice standards and sized to contain 110% of the contents of the largest tank or 25% of the total tonnage within the bund; whichever is the larger. Materials used for surfacing of process areas and bunds are resistant to the materials they may come into contact with.

There are no direct discharges to groundwater from the facility.

The solid residues produced by the EFW facility are Incinerator Bottom Ash (IBA) and Air Pollution Control (APC) residues. APC residues are hazardous and sent for treatment before disposal. IBA is sent for separation and of the metal content; with the remaining ash being used as a substitute aggregate.

Summary of Plant Operations and Maintenance during the reporting year

During 2019 due to a critical shortage in the available capacity for healthcare generated waste disposal the site was approached to accept waste from hospitals (Orange bag waste with potential for low infection risk). This is recorded within the operational dataset previously as . Following extensive consultation and audit with the Environment Agency the site accepted wastes classified as hazardous (limited to orange bag medical wastes from the NHS), initially under a Local Enforcement Position issued by the Environment Agency and then latterly through a Regulatory Position Statement. Additional procedures, monitoring and auditing was undertaken to demonstrate this would have no detrimental affect to the environment, health or to the operation of the facility. The acceptance ceased in August 2019 and is unlikely to be required in the future as healthcare waste disposal capacity has now been developed.

The site otherwise concentrated on steady operations, operating for 92.1% of the year with 177,546 tonnes incinerated against a permit limit of 190,000 tonnes with full compliance to all limits set within the permit.

The site had a planned annual outage within October 2019 where routine maintenance that cannot be done while the plant is online was undertaken. Works began on refurbishment to bag cell hoppers within the flue gas cleaning section of the facility along with replacement of filter bags within the cells. This will continue through 2020 in order to maintain the low particulate levels the plant continues to operate to. An additional compressor has also been added to site to increase energy efficiency and add further redundancy for the supply of plant air.

Further optimisation of the dosing systems for efficient use of the reagents such as lime will continue with the replacement of filter bags and the site is preparing for the new emission limits following the publishing of the revised Waste Incineration BREF in late 2019.

Summary of Residue Handling for the reporting year

Incinerator Bottom Ash (IBA) is sampled 4 times per year for permit compliance purposes, in particular for Total Organic Content where the permit has a limit of 3%. Full compliance was achieved during 2019; no values were above 3% with an average value of 1.8% achieved.

Additional testing of IBA is undertaken in order to correctly classify the IBA. 24 samples (2 per month) were taken in 2019 to assess for any hazardous content within the IBA. During 2019 all 24 sample results were returned confirming the classification of the IBA as non-hazardous.

All metals within the IBA are sent along with the non-hazardous IBA to a third party company who operate a permitted facility dedicated to management of bottom ash. Metals are segregated and sent for recycling while the remaining incinerator bottom ash is used as a substitute aggregate material for use within the construction industry.

Air Pollution Control Residues (APCr) formed from the cleaning of the flue gases are also analysed on a quarterly basis, albeit with no limits set within the permit. The APCr is tankered to a permitted treatment site where the material is used to neutralise highly acidic wastes before the resulting residue is sent for disposal.

Summary of Plant Improvements

Summary of any efficiency improvements that have been completed within the year. Refurbishment of bag filter cells within the flue gas cleaning plant began in 2019 and will continue through 2020. An additional compressor has also been added to site to allow for more efficient energy use for the compressed air production, while also adding additional redundancy for compressed air supply. Small scale lighting upgrades have taken place incorporating more efficient LED type lighting as part of continual improvements at site.

Summary of any permit improvement conditions that have been completed within the year and the resulting environmental benefits. All improvement conditions set within the permit were completed prior to 2019.

Summary of any changes to the plant or operating techniques which required a variation to the permit and a summary of the resulting environmental impact. As reported the site acepted wastes from the NHS for a period of 2019 and this initially required a Local Enforcement Position to be issued allowing this waste acceptance. This was superceedeed by an England wide Regulatory Position Statement with no changes to the permit.

Over the next year as part of the BREF implementation process there may be variations required to update the permit to encorporate the latest requirements of the Waste Incineration BREF.

Summary of any other improvements made to the plant or planned to be made and a summary of the resulting environmental benefits. Continued refurbishment of the bag filter cell hoppers and replacement of filter bags is scheduled for 2020 to maintain high levels of compliance for particulate emissions. In anticipation of the implementation of the Waste Incineration BREF, the site will also continue to seek to optimise the process and in particular reagent dosing systems to ensure continued compliance with the revised emission limit values.

Emissions to Water

Summary of monitoring undertaken and compliance The permit requires a visual inspection of the surface water discharge point; water discharged from site is made up from rainwater rather than from any process activity. Any process water discharged would be through a trade effluent consent. During 2019 regular visual inspections of the discharge point were made, with a monthly inspection reported showing that there were no signs of oil or greases within the discharged water.

Comments : Environment Agency explanatory note: The 10-minute average ELV is based on the “95th percentile”. In this case this means that 95% of the 10 minute averages in the relevant 24-hour period (i.e. 137) must be below 150 mg/Nm3, and 5% (i.e. 7) are allowed to be any value above 150 mg/Nm3. Whilst we expect operators to minimise CO emissions at all times, it is perfectly acceptable for the value of the maximum 10-minute average to be above 150 mg/Nm3, provided the 95th percentile ELV has been met for that period.
