When fully operational the plant, which incorporates W2e’s continuous Batch Oxidation System (cBOS) technology, is expected to potentially process 60,000 tonnes of municipal solid waste stream that is currently deposited in the existing landfill on the site.
Levenseat said that it is committed to implementing an environmentally sustainable strategy through the development of a fully integrated facility and has selected the technology to optimize the use of resources by diverting materials from landfill.
The 6MW plant is expected to produce renewable electrical energy while maximizing the utilization of the available secondary heat, the company added.
W2e’s cBOS technology is employed in a 24 MTPD plant in Husavik, Iceland that has been operating for over four years and in a 120 MTPD facility in Dumfries, Scotland that will start commercially processing waste later this month.
