AcuComm’s Daily Full Access Project – Spain – Transfer Stations

Development of various transfer plants.

Juan Antonio Sánchez Quero, President of the DPZ (DPZ; Provincial Council of Zaragoza), presented information to over 300 mayors and officials of the province on 20^th June 2017, detailing the ‘ecoprovincia’ integral waste service project, which will create new transfer plants and vehicles for waste transport.

The project will mean that municipalities in the province of Zaragoza meet the Law 22/2011 on Contaminated Waste and Soils, which requires them to treat and recycle at least 50% of waste generated in the area.

The project will entail a comprehensive waste collection and recycling service, which has a budget of €6 million; €4 million of which will be used for the construction of six transfer plants distributed in the province, while the remaining €2 million will be used to purchase the transport vehicles, which will be responsible for transferring waste from the transfer plants to the eco-landfill on a daily basis.

The project will now need to be approved by the provincial corporation.

AcuComm’s Daily Full Access Project – Germany MBT

Upgrading and extension of a mechanical biological treatment plant.

Waste Treatment Technologies (WTT) has announced that it will be upgrading facilities at Kompostwerk Olpe (Olper Entsorgungszentrum), a mechanical biological treatment (MBT) plant, as well as adding an extension to the current mechanical line.

The announcement, which was made 8^th June 2017, will see WTT design, deliver, install and start-up the upgrade/extension, which is scheduled to begin at the end of June. New equipment will include: NIR separator, conveyor belts, steel construction and control cabinet, including SCADA.

This upgrade/extension will allow black and dark coloured plastic components in structure materials to be detected and reduced.

Kompostwerk Olpe has been in operation since 2015 and WTT already has a maintenance/support contract with Kompostwerk Olpe. The plant initially dealt with the composting of various biowastes and operated the landfill of Olpe County. However, more recently, work at the MBT plant has been concentrated on post-production landfill activities, in particular the collection and utilisation of landfill gas.

#Editors’Pick – Anaerobic digestion & wood-fired plants

Spain: Construction of an anaerobic digester at a biogas plant

A tender has been issued for the expansion of a biogas plant in Mallorca. Tirme, which is responsible for urban waste management on the island, is planning to add a new anaerobic digester to process the wet form of organic fraction from selective collection.

It is hoped that the added plant will increase existing treatment capacity from 32,000 to 63,000 tonnes per annum.

Global Waste Investment Fact File: Malaysia

Next up in our series of Global Waste Investment Fact Files is the Malaysia edition. As of April 2017, AcuComm was listing 13 waste projects in the country, with a total value of US$1,128 million, or US$87 million each.

Key points from this Fact File:

Incineration (with energy recovery) is the leading project type, accounting for US$712 million or 63% of the total. This is followed by integrated/mixed facilities, accounting for US$296 million or 26% of the total.
The total estimated capacity of these projects is 2.5 million tonnes. This is equal to 192,207 tonnes per project on average.
This capacity is equal to 26% of Malaysia’s estimated annual waste generation, at 9.6 million tonnes.
Waste investments totalling US$1,080 million are expected to become operational over the next few years. This is currently expected to peak in 2018 at US$363 million.

Canada: RFI for waste-to-energy technologies

Comox Strathcona Waste Management (CSWM) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) with the hope that qualified waste-to-energy technology vendors will be interested in participating in a feasibility study for managing municipal solid waste.

The costs of landfilling are high, so the company is keen to see whether there are financial, social and environmental benefits of apply WtE technologies instead.
