Waste incineration plants

The optimization of waste and waste incineration plants requires very specific expertise and a great deal of experience. The aim is to optimally combine process technology with control engineering.

The important aspects are the firing rate control, the fuel supply, the entire air management (air preheating, primary air, secondary air, recirculation), the emissions and, depending on the focus, the TOC value (total organic carbon).

In our services, we combine the well-founded, in-depth knowledge of the usual plant design as well as the associated strengths and potentials with extensive data evaluation, trend analyses and corresponding interpretation of the process-engineering optimisation possibilities. Our specialization in this associated process and control engineering process optimization during operation guarantees uninterrupted operation when implementing our optimizations and uses defined revision windows for adaptations.

We ensure compliance with the official emission limits. You usually benefit from stable combustion process control and higher overall efficiency as a result of our intelligent control systems (EPOC®). We achieve stable operation of your system even with heterogeneous fuel. Our control systems are designed for all common boiler types and sizes. The important aspects to be considered when harmonizing process technology with control technology are the firing rate control, the fuel supply, the entire air management (air preheating, primary air, secondary air, recirculation), the emissions and, depending on the focus, the TOC value (total organic carbon).

Performance overview

• Process engineering plant analysis with focus on efficiency, emissions, TOC and overall performance
• Data analysis (e.g. second data over several years of operation)
• Conception of plant engineering optimizations (combustion chamber, air system, firing position, grate, fluidized bed nozzles)
• Optimisation of the control of the entire plant (performance & waste throughput)

Your advantages

• Increased efficiency of the firing system, minimisation of flue gas losses
• Automated management of large fuel fluctuations (calorific value, bulk density, water content, ash content)
• Prediction systems for optimum plant operation (including prediction systems for district heating consumption)
• Optimised operation
• Minimisation of the plant’s own energy demand
• Minimisation of emissions (CO, NO_x, SO₂, HCl, NH₃, dioxins, dust, …)
• Integration into plant networks or decoupled operation in the case of plant networks
• Longer service life, reduced fluctuations in steam production
• Optimum economic efficiency of your plant
