Development of a 105,000 tpa MBT facility

Construction work has started on an MBT facility in Epirus, where sorting, anaerobic digestion (AD) and composting units will be installed. Hitachi Zosen Inova has been selected to build the dry AD plant, which will handle the organic fraction supplied from the MBT’s sorting line.

Once complete, the facility will be able to treat around 72,000 tonnes of residual mixed municipal waste and 8,000 tonnes of source-separated biowaste each year. Operations are expected to begin within 18 months.

Development of a 5 MWe biomass plant

KPA Unicon has signed a contract to supply a biomass power plant that will generate 5 MWe for the local power grid and 7.2MWth for a nearby wood processing plant. The plant’s design is based on KPA Unicon’s Biograte combustion technology and will use wood as feedstock, of which 46,000 tonnes per year will be supplied by Hrvatske Šume.

Work on site commenced last December and are expected to continue until the handover date in the autumn of 2018.
