Construction of a 15 MW WtE plant

EQTEC Iberia has been selected as the provider of gasification technology for a new waste-to-energy (WtE) facility, which is to be constructed in Melton, East Yorkshire.

It will treat up to 91,000 tonnes of municipal solid waste (MSW) per year, generating up to 15 MW of electricity for the area.

Current timescales estimate that the project will take up to 32 months to complete.

Construction of a 1,500 tpd WtE facility

China Everbright International is to build a waste-to-energy (WtE) plant in Quzhou, Zhejiang Province, at a cost of around RMB 885 million. Designed to have a daily processing capacity of 1,500 tonnes, the facility will generate over 182,910,000 kWh of electricity annually.

This project is now available to access in full for the next 7 days. To take a look, click here.

Poland: Construction of a 160,000 tpa WtE plant

EEW Energy from Waste has been awarded the contract for the construction and operation of a waste-to-energy (WtE) plant in Gdansk. The facility is expected to have a throughput of 160,000 tonnes of waste each year, sourced from the Gdansk, Tczew and Kwidzyn areas.

Development of 95,000 tpa waste treatment facility

Eco Park Surrey has reported that both the anaerobic digestion (AD) and gasification facility buildings are substantially complete at the new waste centre in Shepperton. Currently, cladding is being added to the gasification building and pressure testing of the lines at the AD facility is taking place.

Cold commissioning is expected to follow shortly, with hot commissioning set to start in late autumn.
