Waste 2 Energy

Best innovative, profitable and environmentally friendly concept

Waste2Energy - Plants (waste incineration with energy recovery) thermally treat household and
similar waste (e.g. tires) that remains after waste prevention and recycling –
generating energy from it. This energy can be in form of steam, electricity or hot water.

Waste2Energy - Electricity is fed into the grid and distributed to the end-users.
Hot water can be sent to a nearby district heating (or cooling) network to heat (or cool)
homes, hospitals, offices, cold stores, public buildings etc.,
and steam can be used by nearby industry in production processes.

Waste2Energy - is
➢ helping to reduce dependence on fossil fuels imports
➢ saving millions of tonnes of CO2
➢ helping with the realisation of „The National Climate Change Strategy“
➢ contributing to security of energy supply
➢ sustainable, local, low carbon, cost-effective and reliable energy
➢ helping to divert waste from landfills

Waste2Energy – content in 1 tonne municipal waste calorific value
➢ of 1 tonne brown coal
➢ or 0.330 tonnes hard coal
➢ or 250 litres oil.

Waste2Energy – contains in 1 tonne of bottom ash (after burning the waste)
100 – 150 kg metals including 15 to 20 kg aluminium ready for reusing in new products.

Waste2Energy  - is clean and safe, plants are equipped with sophisticated filtering devices to deal with
the pollutants that are in the waste and minimise emissions into the atmosphere.

Waste2Energy - Plants contribute to achieving a recycling society and to improving countries resource
Efficiency, by using unavoidable waste as a valuable resource wherever possible.

Components

1. Waste Combustion
The grate transports the waste through the combustion chamber. The waste is thus also mixed and burns out completely.
Unburnable material is left as bottom ash at the end of the grate. Metals and construction materials can be recovered from
this bottom ash and returned to the material cycle, thereby saving other raw materials

2. Energy recovery
The boiler recovers over 80% of the energy contained in the and makes it usable as steam.

3. Flue Gas Cleaning
Highly sophisticated processes assure that all pollutants contained in the waste and transferred into the flue gas
through combustion are eliminated in an efficient, sustainable and reliable way.

4. Energy - turbine, generator
The energy recovered is usableas electricity and/or heat (e.g. District Heating and Cooling, Industrial Processes). Roughly
half of the energy produced is renewable because it comes from the carbon-neutral biogenic fraction of waste.
