In Japan, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Environmental & Chemical Engineering Co. (MHIEC) has received an order from the Fukushima Municipal Government to rebuild the city’s Abukuma Clean Center Incineration Plant.
The firm explained that the order calls for installation of two stoker-type incinerators collectively capable of processing 120 tons per day (tpd), to replace the superannuated Abukuma Clean Center (240 tpd), originally designed and built by MHI and operated since 1988.
Under the contract, the company will also take charge of providing operation and maintenance services at the new plant for a period of 20 years.
The new facility will employ state-of-the-art technology for municipal waste processing. Besides the two stoker-type incinerators, each having a processing capacity of 60 tpd, the plant will have a lighter environmental footprint enabled by reduced CO2 emissions, and provide highly efficient power generation. The heat energy generated during waste processing will be used to supply power to a nearby recycling plant and the health facility, the company added.
