Waste PFI Projects

SUMMARY

Glasgow GRREC is an integrated residual waste recycling, recovery and processing plant running on 200,000tpa of residual waste. The plant separates and recovers paper, card, plastics, and metals before processing the remainder into an RDF to feed a 3 line gasifier using Energos technology, and an organic fraction that is processed using Enpure wet AD technology to produce a biogas. It incorporates a 10MW steam turbine on the gasifier and a 2MW CHP biogas engines on the AD plant, which also provides process heat. This £154M capital investment was built on the back of Viridor's successful bid for the Glasgow residual waste contract.
