In Japan, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Environmental & Chemical Engineering (MHIEC), a part of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group, said it has completed refurbishment of the core facilities of Eco Clean Plaza Miyazaki, a waste-to-energy plant in Miyazaki city in southern part of Kyushu.
The refurbishment, enabling a waste treatment capacity of 579 tonnes per day (tpd), has extended the plant’s service life and achieved reduction in CO2 emissions.
Eco Clean Plaza Miyazaki encompasses facilities not only for waste incineration but also recycling and final waste management. It treats waste from Miyazaki city as well as nine nearby localities.
Under the refurbishment work, upgrades have been made to major equipment superannuated after more than 15 years in operation, to achieve stable combustion and operation over the long term. Replacements include equipment involved in combustion, cooling of combustion gas, waste gas treatment, waste heat utilization, ventilation, and ash removal, as well as electrical instrumentation, the Japanese company said.
