Under the contract, Metso will deliver a Metso DNA automation system, a Metso DNA information management system and a safety system in December 2014.
The contract also includes engineering, commissioning support, startup support und customer training.
The Metso’s advanced automation solutions will allow the facility to reach high process availability and extract maximum energy value from the thermal treatment of residual waste.
HZI will be the EPC contractor for the project, which will be operated by FCC Environment and Buckinghamshire County Council.
Metso Automation Central and Eastern Europe EPS sales director Rene Neubert said: "FCC owns the Zistersdorf energy-from-waste facility in Austria to which we delivered our first order from HZI in 2008. The plant has been very satisfied with our Metso DNA system as well as our local service."
Scheduled to begin operations in 2016, the single-line facility will have a capacity to treat 300,000t of waste per year while generating 22MW of electricity for approximately 36,000 homes.
With a thermal capacity of 102 MW, the plant is expected to meet the UK government’s climate protection requirements in full.
