WASTE RECYCLING
AWM the first to feed RDF to Ferrybridge Multifuel 2
YORKSHIRE-based Associated Waste Management (AWM) is proud to be the first business to supply refuse derived fuel (RDF) into the second of two multifuel, energy-from-waste (EfW) plants at Ferrybridge.
Located on the same site as Ferrybridge Multifuel 1, Ferrybridge Multifuel 2 power station will have a generating capacity of circa 70 MW, sufficient to power 180,000 homes.
FM2 is capable of treating up to 675,000 tonnes of waste derived fuels each year.
AWM’s 150,000 tpa fuel supply agreement commenced last month with AWM vehicles delivering the very first loads to be tipped into the 30,000m3 ground level bunker, which will feed two boiler lines fed by overhead loading cranes.
Hot commissioning commences shortly and AWM will provide a continuous supply during the commissioning period.
Tim Shapcott, commercial director UK, commented: “AWM has a long- standing relationship with SSE, supplying Ferrybridge Multifuel 1 since 2016. In 2017 the business successfully concluded a deal with Bradford Metropolitan District Council to treat, manage and utilise thermal recovery for the 164,000 tonnes of waste over the 15-year life of the contract. Ferrybridge Multifuel 2 has always been at the centre point of this contract and to be present at the very first delivery today was unprecedented.”
In November 2018, AWM was acquired by the Beauparc Utility Group and is now part of a focussed UK network of waste businesses, headquartered in Leeds.
This new off-take further supports the drive to concentrate on the production of renewable fuels both in the UK and overseas for RDF, SRF and the pellet market.
Andusia launches waste video series
ANDUSIA has launched a series of films aimed at those in the waste industry including MRF’s, EfW facilities and UK plant developers. The films have been created to show what happens ‘behind the scenes’ to the UK’s waste when it is converted into RDF, from collection all the way through to export and recovery at Energy from Waste facilities across Europe.
Andusia was launched in 2012 by directors Steve Burton and Stewart Brackenbury and has now become one of the UK’s largest independent exporters of RDF. Andusia has now exported over 1,250,000 tonnes of RDF waste to Energy from Waste plants across Europe. The company has since expanded its offering, using its expertise in the RDF field to begin exporting SRF and, more recently, hazardous and clinical waste.
Starting with a waste collection in Leeds, the films show how waste is sorted at AWM Leeds’ MRF facility and converted into RDF before being baled and wrapped. Once loaded onto a curtain-
28
sider (that would have been returning empty otherwise), the bales are then transported to Immingham port and shipped with DFDS Seaways, Northern Europe’s largest shipping company. All the while, Andusia manages the logistics and TFS documentation.
The films end with the RDF bales arriving at an EfW plant, Fortum Oslo Varme, where the bales are broken and incinerated. The excess heat is used to generate renewable electricity and district heating for the city of Oslo.
If you watch closely, you will notice the films are interwoven with animation, mirroring the waste management company’s refreshing brand image.
