This waste-to-energy plant will divert municipal waste headed for landfills and convert it into steam and electricity, emitting low levels of SO(X) and NO(X) emissions.
Foster Wheeler is contracted to supply the 84MW CFB boiler and auxiliary equipment, and will carry out the construction and commissioning of the boiler island. The boiler will be designed to burn Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) composed of sorted household and industrial wastes.
