I am ameature provisionally qualified to comment by the way with industrial background in oil and gas as an instrument technician and keen environmental interest, having done Iema environmental management 5 day course, just the basics yous understand and no proper experience but was always top of the class at this entry level FYI likes OF C.B!! ??
This down scale in size also brings emissions levels down into much more comfortable levels, imo.
There is a lagoon 1km, estuary 1.5km, shooting range 1.3km and farm 1.8km, residential 2.1km. There was a slight increase of 1.x% increase of background concentrations of chromium something I believe with their optimum stack height of 65m. It sounds like they have had to scale it down from 20Mwe to 9MWe, likely because there is not enough local demand for a heating network to use the recovarable heat. The plants can either run RDF > syngas > engine or RDF > syngas > steam boiler. The steam boiler option as chosen here is slightly simpler and cheaper as no advanced engine control system but the trade off is a slightly less emission control. The advantage is all heat energy is now converted into steam into power, there is no customer heat demant ballance to have to consider such as town heating network, although they will still have heat available to export and use within the process if required but this will be diverted from the steam turbine into heating network at the cost of some MWe. It is a smaller more manageable operation.
This is my first assessment from an initial overlook of the data over just the past hour.
That explains it then.... :-(

They have had to downsize the Deeside plant ; pity they haven't told us......
should be 'From RNS 08.12.20' - fat fingers
Reading through the documents a bit more, it appears that the capacity of the plant will be scaled down from the initial estimates from Eqtec...
From the 'Supporting Planning Statement',
'The proposed Advanced Gasification has the capacity to treat up to 80,000 tonnes of RDF per annum. The plant will produce 9.9MW of electricity, the majority of which will be used to power the overall waste development site together with powering adjacent business operations via a PPA. The plant will also produce heat which will be used to dry the incoming waste contained within the (approved) adjacent RDF building.'
From RNS 08.12.10
'EQTEC estimates that, with the application of its advanced gasification technology, the Project would convert hundreds of thousands of tonnes per year of non-recyclable everyday household and commercial waste, otherwise destined for landfill or incineration, into 20MW of green electricity, enough to power 37,500 homes, and 27MW of thermal heat production.'
Can syngas not be burnt directly in a Gas turbine?
Most gas fired power stations in the UK are CCGT, which means they use Gas Turbine to directly drive a generator then recover the heat to generate steam to drive another generator, greatly improving the efficiency of the process.
Why would they not do this here?
In the absence of any exciting news, if anyone is interested, all of the draft planning documents for the Deeside plant are available on the Caulmert ( planning, engineering, environmental and project management advisors to Eqtec/Logik) website...

I haven't studied all the documents in detail (I have a life), but one interesting thing I spotted was the use of a steam turbine to generate the electricity (Gasification Floor Plan Level 00). Enjoy.
Nice find Thanks

From Flintshire council planning portal, it seems EQTEC and Logik have been varying certain conditions of the historic (2018) Deeside planning permission for a waste to energy plant on the site.
They have also now (15 June 2021) submitted full planning permission for the Deeside project with decision due 10 August 2021.
Could EQT seek funding for Deesside from here? https://www.ukib.org.uk/where-we-invest
