- Foster Wheeler Power Systems, Clinton, NJ (United States)
- Camden County Energy Recovery Associates, Camden, NJ (United States)
The Camden Resource Recovery Facility is part of a planned solid waste management program developed by Camden County, located in southern New Jersey across the Delaware River from Philadelphia. This mass-burn plant, which began operating in March 1991, processes waste from 37 towns in the County. IKT is capable of burning 1,050 tons per day (tpd) of refuse to generate electricity, which is sold to Jersey Central Power and Light Company. The plant is located in an industrial area of Camden and is also designed to produce high-pressure, high-temperature steam to provide sufficient energy for any existing or future industrial customers. The facility was designed and built by Foster Wheeler and is owned and operated by Camden County Energy Recovery Associates, L.P., a subsidiary of Foster Wheeler Power Systems, Inc. The Pollution Control Financing Authority of Camden County is responsible for project oversight and administration for the County. The Authority is also responsible for operating the County landfill. Camden County`s comprehensive waste management system, which will be described below, has indeed been successful for its more than 500,000 residents.
