The waste Thermal Treatment for energy: A Reliable and Efficient, Environmentally friendly solution for Global Modern Cities.
The challenge of municipal solid waste (MSW) disposal is a critical issue for modern cities worldwide. Waste to Energy (WtE), or Energy from Waste (EfW), is a state-of-the-art approach to treating municipal solid waste. This advanced thermal treatment is not merely about waste disposal but an intelligent and integrated energy recovery solution.
The process is designed to be the most effective incineration of the waste, a powerful clean waste gas purification system, and the recovery of valuable materials from the residual materials. This approach not only provides a solution for managing hazardous waste safely but also contributes significantly to reducing the volume of waste.
The WtE plant receives the municipal solid waste and stores it in a bunker. A crane thoroughly mixes and feeds the waste into the feed hopper, and then onto the grate by a ram feeder. A fully integrated control system ensures stable and efficient operation and optimizes the fire position on the grate.
The energy released is used to produce superheated steam, which a turbine generator expands to produce electricity. The gases released from the waste are mixed with secondary air and recirculated flue gases above the grate to increase the WtE process energy efficiency. Moreover, the complete combustion is to have the lowest CO, NOx, and VOC emissions.
Flue gases are then cleaned to the strictest emission standards through an advanced air pollution control system, and are continuously monitored before being released at the stack. The combustion bottom byproduct, the inert ash that remains, falls into the bottom ash extractor, from where it can be taken to a dedicated area for metals recovery and further use.
This entire process demonstrates how a modern waste-to-energy plant can be a reliable energy source for local communities.
This technology offers a clear path toward a circular economy, transforming trash into energy. It represents a significant step beyond methods like anaerobic digestion and moves towards a truly efficient system. With our WtE facilities, COMEF provides a clean and powerful way to manage waste. Our waste-to-energy systems are a testament to our commitment to a clean energy future.
