Energy from Waste Turnkey Systems

We supply full turnkey systems to the EfW sector to suit the highest requirements

Energy from Waste (EfW) is a broad term which covers an increasing number of technologies processing and an ever-wider spectrum of waste product.

As a tightly regulated area it drives ever increasing standards, not only for plant performance but also the measurement accuracy and range of components that are monitored.

EfW can range from small scale (Sub 3tph) waste biomass plants (SWIP) to large municipal waste plants processing tens of tonnes per hour. Conventionally such plants have been used to generate steam / electricity and heat. Advanced thermal processing techniques are also being pursued to generate Syngas and liquid fuels.

Whatever the EfW process, it is likely that a CEM system will be required.

How can we help support applications in this sector?

We supply full turnkey systems to the EfW sector and can provide references from recent and long-standing installations. In addition, we have for many years worked on a variety of manufacturer’s systems within this sector. Our approach is to draw on this extensive experience servicing CEM systems on a wide range of applications. We understand the challenges that operators and plant managers face and look, not only to provide systems that are compliant today, but ones that are reliable and easily supportable in the long-term.

It is possible to carry out some service activities remotely. Learn about our Remote CEM System Support – ProtoQAL.

Additionally, we recognise that the legislation is particularly dynamic and provision needs to be allowed to enable further components to be added in future years.

Typically, what system would we recommend for use in the EfW sector?

The CEMs market is mature and there are a good selection of products available.

The MCA10 is our core analyser for the EfW sector. It has some of the lowest available ranges and uncertainties and is the technical and reliability performance equal of any available alternative system.

Additionally, the MCA10 should be noted for:

6 monthly maintenance intervals on all components – including TOC

Integrated manifold enabling expansion / addition of further systems should they be required in the future

What are the recent and impending changes in this sector?

The most recent changes, include those introduced by the BAT / BREF – lowering ELV’s for all existing and new plants.

EA guidance is also requesting CO2 and N2O components to be added to QAL 2 and QAL 3 routines. This is a request at the moment but we expect this to become a mandatory requirement in the future.

Flow is now also required to be included as part of the QAL 2 testing.

Further to this, continuous Mercury and Dioxin measurements may be required for some plants!
