WASTE INCINERATION PLANT

Turboden solution in a Waste to Energy plant

HEAT TRANSFER FLUID: heat from waste combustion is transferred to the ORC working fluid by means of an intermediate circuit. The medium is typically thermal oil, but can also be saturated steam, pressurized water or directly the ORC working fluid.

TURN WASTE INTO USEFUL POWER

Food waste
Refused-derived fuel (RDF)
Solid recovered fuel (SRF)
Plastic

Chicken manure
Other animal manure
Dairy operation waste
Animal by-products

Municipal wastewater
Industrial wastewater

Hospital & Medical
Chemical
Pulp & Paper
Tires
Industrial by-products

MAKE YOUR BUSINESS MORE SUSTAINABLE

Designed according to specific client requirements, the ORC-based Waste to Energy plant is able to produce electric power only with an electrical efficiency up to 30% or Combined Heat & Power (CHP). Depending on specific characteristics of the waste, various waste combustion technologies and heat recovery exchangers may be employed.
