Incinerator production and manufacture

the production of a waste incineration plant can be summarized in three different steps:

• Planning, Design and Engineering
• Fabrication,Preassembly, Delivery to site & Installation
• Commissioning & Handover. Upon handover, the plant will be ready for Operation.

The whole process will typically take 15 months.

Planning, design and engineering

During the Planning stage, future incineration plant operators have to start identifying their requirements for their incinerator. This is one of the major considerations for design.

1. Design requirements

The sizing of the incinerator depends on the quality and the quantity of waste which the investor wants to treat. Typical parameters for the design of the plant are as folows :

1. Type of Waste (Solid, Liquid or gas Waste)
2. Categories of Waste (Medical, Chemicals, Solvents, Petrochemicals, Petroleum, etc)
3. Typical Waste Characteristics (Calorific Value, Heavy Metals, Halogens, etc)
4. Quantities of Waste (Ton/hours and Ton/year)
5. Waste Variation

Fabrication and installation

The equipment comprises many parts, of which one of the major components is the steel structure. These structures are fabricated according to the design specifications and are made to the highest quality and standards. After fabrication, certain parts of the steel structures have to be lined with high quality refractory materials that can withstand permanently high temperatures up to 1400 °C.

After completion of the steel structure and refractory lining, all these large structures will be preassembled in our workshop,before being delivered and assembled on site.Other plant items, such as fans, pumps, burners, scrubbing systems, filter presses (if necessary), etc will be delivered and be installed on site.Waste-to-energy systems, boilers and steam turbines are installed at the same time,but can be retrofitted. Electric cabling and piping will be completed before next step.

Commissioning and handover

After completion, commissioning will start with cold commissioning which involves the testing of all electric and electronic equipment, without firing the burners. Hot commissioning will involve starting up the burners and gradually increasing temperature in the rotary kiln up and in the post combustion chambers up to 1,100 °C. The control system will be tested while heating and curing the refractory lining.

Emission tests will complete the commissioning,after which the plant will be handed over to the client.  

Investors’ personnel (management, supervisors and other personnel) will then undergo a full training program training for being able to operate the plant in optimal conditions.
