AVI Moerdijk – Incineration of 600,000 Mg/year of waste.
The Dutch provinces of Zeeland, North. Brabant and Limburg funded a study in 1990 to determine how much waste was being generated in the southern Netherlands. On receiving the results, the provincial governments awarded a contract to three utility companies to devise a concept for incinerating some 600,000 Mg/year of municipal, bulky and comparable industrial waste. Naturally, very stringent environmental regulations would apply to the process.
Turning waste into useful energy.
The end of 1993 saw ground broken for the new waste incineration plant on land owned by the Moerdijk industrial and port authority. AVI Moerdijk is unique in being the first waste incineration plant linked to a thermal power plant. The design results in a very high energy yield. Waste heat generated in a year amounts to 2,000,000 tonnes of high-pressure steam at a temperature of 400°C and a pressure of 100 bar. The facility consists of three separate lines, each with a grate furnace, a boiler, a fly ash collector, and a flue gas purification plant. A slight vacuum is maintained in the waste pit and feed building to prevent releases of odors to the surroundings. Hitachi Zosen Inova was responsible for the overhead cranes, shredding of bulky waste, incineration, flue gas and wastewater treatment, and electrical instrumentation and controls.
