The APCr will originate from the operations of the 450,000 tonne Slough Multifuel Facility, which is currently under construction. SSE will operate the plant in a 50:50 joint venture with Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners. Commissioning of this facility is scheduled for 2024.
Under the terms of the contract, Augean will manage the collection and subsequent treatment of the APCr at the East Northants Resource Management Facility, a hazardous landfill and soil treatment site.
Richard Brooke, the commercial director of Augean, said: “We went through a competitive procurement exercise to secure this long-term contract and we’re delighted to have been successful to partner Slough Multifuel. Our permitted and resilient operational capacity and capability stands-out, together with our ability to handle a wide APCr specification and other residues, received in tankers and bagged.”
