View of the East Kent Waste Recovery Facility, Discovery Park, on the Stour Estuary, Sandwich, Kent. Augean Plc business board has recognised the value that a commercial waste incineration facility would add to its capabilities, and with the creation of the Waste Network division in early 2012 the sales and operational infrastructure had been put in place to secure appropriate waste volumes for such a facility. We were therefore delighted to sign agreements on 16(th) April 2012 with Pfizer Limited to manage and operate a commercial high temperature incinerator (HTI) at the Discovery Park in Sandwich, Kent (please note these agreements have since been novated to the new owner of the Discovery Park site, namely Discovery Park Limited). The HTI will be made available to existing and potential new customers for the management and incineration of a range of waste streams, as defined and agreed within the operational permit issued by the Environment Agency. The HTI is expected to provide capacity to process 10,000 tonnes per annum of waste and also benefitsfrom its ability to recover energy from the process, making the facility the only HTI in the UK with this capability. Augean is also responsible for the management of certain waste streams and will provide waste management services to local businesses at Discovery Park. EKWRF is now operating under its own environmental permit and is fully integrated into the Waste Network division. Augean's East Kent Waste Recovery Facility provides High Temperature Incineration (HTI) capacity coupled with energy recovery which positions the Group with the most sustainable solution to the country's more difficult to handle waste streams. Our extensive on-site laboratory allows us to assess your waste streams utilising state of the art analytical techniques to determine the optimal methods for processing to comply with strict environmental standards.
