When fully operational, the plant that incorporates W2e’s continuous batch oxidation system (cBOS) technology, is sized to process the entire unsorted municipal solid waste stream, which is deposited in a landfill on the Dutch island.
In addition to addressing the capacity constraints of the landfill, the facility will eliminate the materials that generate greenhouse gases in a landfill, while producing approximately 9MW of renewable electrical energy – most of which will be sold back to the utility company.
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.
The air emissions from the Husavik plant have materially exceeded the European Union regulations and the Dumfries plant has received a permit to operate from Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA).
