Boosting local waste management: Sumitomo SHI FW and Woima Finland Oy bring a scalable, easy-to-deploy power plant solution to the global Waste-to-Energy Market
Espoo, Vaasa, January 13, 2021. Sumitomo SHI FW (SFW) and WOIMA Finland Oy (WOIMA) have signed an agreement to deliver modular wasteWOIMA® waste-to-energy plants. SFW becomes a strategic investor in WOIMA, combining SFW’s renowned expertise in power technology, project execution and global reach with WOIMA’s innovative plant design.
The plant utilizes robust grate combustion technology to safely treat a wide range of solid wastes while complying with the most stringent environmental standards. It is designed to serve a waste collection area of 100,000-500,000 people and convert from 30,000 up to 200,000 tons of non-recyclable waste annually into renewable electricity and heating or cooling.
The concept is scalable and allows for fast deployment: the design includes one to four combustion lines and is based on container-size modules. These workshop fabricated and pre-assembled modules guarantee a high-quality, cost-effective solution with simple delivery and fast construction. Advanced plant automation and standardized maintenance ensure high plant reliability and reduce operating costs.
