Description
Project description: The main activity of the company includes collection, transport and disposal of hazardous waste in the combustion process. The project supported by GII Programme assumes the purchase of a new biomass power block (a boiler and a turbo-generator) and the use of heat waste originated during process of wastes incineration. This heat will be used for drying the sludge from the waste water treatment plant. The dry sludge mixed with the biomass will be burned in order to produce electric energy. Project objectives: • Increasing the economic efficiency of the enterprise • Improve the efficiency and environmental performance of the disposal process of medical and veterinary waste • Increase profitability of the company by using of waste heat Outcome indicators: • Number of environmental technologies successfully applied for use in new areas - 1 • Green jobs created – 12 new green jobs • Reduction in CO2 emissions – 25 638 tones/ year
Summary of project results
The project involved installation of a new biomass-fired power unit (a boiler and a turbogenerator), as well as use of heat produced in the process of waste incineration. This heat is used to dry the sludge from the waste water treatment plant. The dry sludge mixed with biomass is then burned with the purpose of “green” electricity generation. Reduction of the sludge stored in landfills could reach the level of 33 000 tons/year. The expected production of energy from renewable sources is 28 000 MWh/year what reflects in indirect reduction of CO2 emission by 25 000 tones/year (avoidance of energy production in coal-based technology). Project realisation will also reflect in reduction of SO2 (50,2 tons/year), NOX (30,9 tons/year) and dust (4,1 tons/year).
