The Portsmouth Energy Recovery Facility ( ERF) processes 165,000 tons of non-recyclable waste annually.It generates 14 MW of electricity which is supplied to the National Grid and powers approximately 14,000 homes.

Each of the two incineration lines with a capacity of 12 t/h, supplied by CNIM, is fitted with a LAB semi-wet type flue gas treatment system including non-catalytic NOx abatement (SNCR) using dry urea.
CNIM has already delivered the Marchwood (2 x 12t/h) plant to VEOLIA ENVIRONMENT UK in 2005 and the Chineham plant (1 x 12 th) in 2004.

The construction of these three highly efficient plants is part of a remarkable, global integrated waste management scheme called “Project Integra” set up by the Hampshire County Council, representing the best multi-process waste treatment infrastructure in the UK.
