The grate firing system in the wasteWOIMA® WtE power plant is quite flexible and can accept a wide range of heterogenous solid waste fuels with LHV above 7 MJ/kg and moisture content below 55%. On top of this, a small amount (up to 10%) of low-calorific-value sludges can be added to the fuel mix and reduced to easily disposable bottom ash (slag) in the grate incineration process. Although the sludges contain very little energy, their small quantity does not affect the operation, not the efficiency of the plant.
Typical sludges available for incineration are sourced from
- Sewage / wastewater treatment plants
- Forestry industry
- Chemical industry
- Refineries
- Agriculture
Tipping fees are a major source of income to any WtE plant due to the nature of waste fuels having negative prices and thus these hard-to-dispose sludges represent a significant upside to the power plant’s tipping fee revenue.
Combined, these WOIMAbenefits can generate over 5,500,000€ of additional revenue during the WtE plant lifespan.
